| Anything to compete with Sony UHP-H1 ? I have listened to the uhp-h1 for 2 weeks, using analog outputs.On sonics, it is the worst player i have heard in my house in the past 20 years. It compresses cds and sacds to a incredibly low level of dynamics. Let's not talk about its OS.. .a ... | |
| Sony UHP-1 experience? I have tested the uhp-h1 for two,weeks on marantz pm8004 and totem hawks, and i confirm this is not a high quality audio product. Compared to my yamaha bd-s677, the sony compresses the sound on both cds and sacds to a level i thought was impossib... | |
| DH Labs Silversonic You must have been using the canare starquad 4s11.The 4s8 is much better for whatever reason: clearer with more extemded highs, and no mid-bass hump. | |
| Which is better Coax or Optical cables For short length less than 15ft and with 24/96pcm, toslink is just as good as good coax. With toslink, There's no electrical comnection between components for those who care. Plastic vs glass for such a short distance is silly... There's no loss ... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? How do you do 3 wires per channel? One on positive, two on negative? | |
| Audioquest or Transparent? Audioquest or transparent, that's a tough one. Both are very cheap to some, and very expensive to others. Transparent cables: the name alone does not fit the products. Their cables are unarguably NOT transparent. That alone tells you by how m... | |
| Best divorce album? Absolument! It is teleportation for me.. .I was 4 last tome i heard it, at a time when couples were divorcing left and right.. | |
| Why are Harbeth speakers expensive while its drivers are not. Nice comment made by phusis...Not easy to make a speaker. $100 for a tweeter isn't cheap by the way. Focal inverted domes used to cost $45, morels for less than 50, dynaudio 6" could be had for $130, scan speaks woofer/midrange for less than $10... | |
| Best divorce album? For the francophiles, claude francois "le telephone pleure". Very 70's.claude francois made the music for franck sinatra "my way". | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? I found the low-cost wire you are looking for: canare 4s8, full range config. | |
| Bi-wires links for speakers ? wow! who would know that 4 inches between the posts could make such difference! | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? I am a mid fi guy and i hear the difference between two sets of same brand/model cables but assembled by different guys. So hifi guys, keep it quiet. | |
| Anticables i can’t imagine being ugly when selling these products at those prices. I would be nice too. | |
| Supra ply 3.4 vs classic 6.0 Tele09, if you have no worries throwing money on the cardas, It is a good experience. If your hifi is on budget, i would not bother with it. Yes the cardas features a really nice arrangement of wires in that cable, a marvel from a manufacturing ... | |
| Bi-wires links for speakers ? Agree with ryder, biwiring terminals is mostly for bi-amping, more power on tap makes huge difference in terms of dynamics and control.One more thing... Plug one cable leg on the positive of the tweeter, and the other on the bass negative. |
