| "Audiophile" Power Cables: The Greatest Audio Conspiracy Theory of All Time? If you don't have a highly resolving system and have not tried these cables, like it or not, you don't have an opinion. So keep your thoughts to yourself. It's probably that you resent others who have the resources to build a great sounding syst... | |
| A public service announcement Ah… so this is why my dealer has those rich wine parties attended by manufactures to show new gear. Got to check and see if I ordered new Wilson’s again. | |
| Do I need 10 gauge power cord if I have 10 gauge from panel? Don’t think anyone has mentioned it here yet but most power cords are also designed by construction geometry and materials to do some power conditioning as well. A few years ago I did my own shoot out including my owed cables from Wireworld, loan... | |
| Quobuz subscription Absolutely agree with nice write up dlcockrum. Subscribe to Qobuz (NO U) and Tidal through Roon and directly to my dCS Bartok. Much prefer the Qobuz catalog. Check your ethernet connection if there's a quality issue. Enjoy the music. | |
| What is the current retail cost of your reference system? Interesting... a wide variance in equipment quality. Yet so many strong opinions on items that affect SQ. While my stuff is more at the high end of these estimates, I'm a chump at the local dealer who sells $250K and up... Magico, etc. How can ... | |
| Why so few devices with BNC's?? I use a high end Marantz CD/SACD player and a dCS Bartok connected by a 75 ohm Shunyata BNC cable. While the Marantz has a nice on board CD DAC, using its digital BNC output to the Bartok for CDs just sounds better. The Marantz does an excellent... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers Well said. I stand corrected. | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers How did I get in the middle of this. Actually, that's not what I said... the "audiophile stuff" is all back in but arranged better. Maybe your system, like yourself, is not sufficiently resolving to understand that primarily the proximity of the... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers This discussion has been very helpful. X the vitriol. It motivated me to try some additional solutions to excavate some system noise. My system is a dCS Bartok Streamer/DAC fed ethernet signal thought an English Eight switch. dCS recommends fe... | |
| Wilson to Tekton to ???? A trip to the Wilson dealer with your wife is in order. Listen to the Yvettes, smaller and better looking. Like Sophia on steroids. Better than Sasha 1. They are still winning awards in 2022 but available now used at reasonable prices. | |
| Favourite Guitarists Never mind the guys that just make noise… Jim Hall Charlie Bird Carlos Montoya | |
| Sound is better when I stand up? SIMAO. When you stand, you are changing the distance your ears are from the speakers, (less) the back wall (more) and the ceiling. Yet sound wise, you like that position better. Experiment with duplicating each of those new dimensions while sitt... | |
| What Gear Has Disappointed You? Years ago, worked my way up B&W’s speakers to Nautilus 800s. Mistake, they never sounded right in a 9X15 living room. Traded the B&Ws in on Wilson Watt-Puppy 7s. Perfect. Then went to Wilson Sashas, wonderful. Traded my Wilson Sasha’s on t... | |
| 100% USA designed & made DAC While I'm an MSB and dCS fan, what about those cool little USB thingys from Audioquest? California. | |
