| If the DAC is the same, how different do CD transports sound? Once you hit a certain level of transport and DAC coupled with very clean amplification, good cabling, speakers, etc...the differences are pretty easy to hear. Listening and comparing a couple sub $1000 transports probably won't tell you much. | |
| Immersive Audio and How to Achieve It "100% of music listeners prefer live music to recorded playback..." I certainly don’t. | |
| playing "top-damaged" CDs ? @mahler123 , @boxcarman , some players are definitely fussier than others! @richalan , greetings from the other side of the river. Northern, NH here. Sorry for your luck over there. I do have experience with stuck-on booklets. Just soak them for ... | |
| playing "top-damaged" CDs ? As long as the amount of paper is negligible, it will still play. Why not try to soak the cds in question in warm water to see if you can then get it all off? What I'd be most concerned about (with that particular CD transport) is that it is slo... | |
| How Much Do Aesthetics Factor Into Your Decisions? Honestly, not a whole lot. Equipment that looks good is cool, but it's not really THE deciding factor when I purchase something. | |
| If you want lame advice DON'T do this! If someone asks for genuine advice on a subject/product I have experience with, I will give it honestly. If someone chooses to "take me to task" for said advice and has no pics of their system, and nothing other than their word on what they own ... | |
| Maintaining Optimal Electrical Connections I've used DeOxit to clean connections, but mostly on old equipment that was sitting around collecting dust (think....1990's Yamaha amp that has sat in the closet for 20 years). Worked very well to remove crust and crud, but can't really speak to ... | |
| If you want lame advice DON'T do this! @kota1 I think this is coming it a bit high. Sometimes, a flat-line measurement isn't what's best, and I personally don't think someone needs to measure their room to get the best sound. The best measurable response? Possibly. But certainly not... | |
| Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile? When the conversation stops being about the music, I'm out. I think it's time this thread died. | |
| Best Kept Speaker Secret? Holy blast from the past, Batman! | |
| Cable elevators @vitussl101 , I have about 40 of them on an old clothesline holder out back. $40 a piece? *whistles* And to think, I was going to cut down the clothesline holder and throw it out, lol. | |
| Wall outlets @mc1969 , sure you do. These things come with a 30 day money back satisfaction guarantee, you know. 😉 The fact that you don't have your system posted, and more importantly, used the term "snake oil" in your response above, as well as your need t... | |
| Wall outlets @mc1969 , electricity has no sound. But the stuff you plug into it sure does. The goal here is not create a simple circuit, but to get the most out of your equipment. I don't see your system listed, so perhaps a simple $.89 Leviton outlet from H... | |
| Wall outlets Following and very interested in hearing of your experience. I've thought about getting a SR outlet....as I primarily use them for my cables, interconnects, tweeks, etc.....(why not, right?), but am open to Furutech. | |
