| Do people hate Eversolo on here? Or is it liked some? @gkelly - If you think a $2k streamer's cost is equally split into three components - pre-amp/dac/output stage (and you've conveniently forgotten two of the most expensive parts in any piece of audio equipment; the power supply and the chassis), t... | |
| Do Audiophiles usually keep the gain of the digital source at around 80%? @sns - I'm afraid it's YOU who are incorrect. lanx00003 is correct. I owned an A8, and it DOES have a 'proper' analogue volume control circuit, and it's VERY good. I tried it direct into my Threshold S300, bypassing my Audio Research Reference 3, ... | |
| Leave it on? @mylogic - You seem to have very little of it; logic that is! I believe you're on the wrong forum, and should be on the Tree-Huggers forum, elsewhere! How long will you keep your new gear? = Irrelevant to this discussion. How do you feel about g... | |
| Crossover and Wiring Upgrade @pindac - WOW, and YOU want ME to take anger management?! Just take a long look at the diatribe you've posted! I think you're on the wrong forum. I believe you need some professional help pindac - get some therapy, as you obviously have mental he... | |
| Crossover and Wiring Upgrade @pindac WtF are you on about - AGAIN?? I believe it's you who've done this before - typed unknown character strings expecting us all to know WtF you're trying to say! STOP these dumb and useless characters that no-one understands. OP - a decade a... | |
| Do people hate Eversolo on here? Or is it liked some? +1 for saugertiesbob - you nailed the response. I don't get ronmen's response, as I setup an A-6ME for a friend, and while I was using a Cambridge Audio Azue 851N before, after comparing the A6 with it, I went straight out and bought an A-8 - what... | |
| Streamer recommendation Sounds like the OP is just on here for bragging! Why such an expensive system in a kitchen/diner where no-one will care about sound quality? Or where SQ can be perceived. He’s answered his own question re Aurender, so why here wasting everyone’s ... | |
| Which amp with Wilson watt puppy 8 You do not need a new amp. The JR is a very capable and good sounding amp, no matter how old it is, but as you've been blowing drive units, that may be the whole cause of your 'problem'. The JR will easily drive the WP to loud levels (btw, you've ... | |
| Nordost Valhalla 2 Speaker Cable @roadcykler - I've been on this, and other forums for a long time, and this has got to be THE most dumb suggestion I've ever read! To connect just one cable to each speaker is a complete waste of time. 'Most people will not do such things', as it'... | |
| Best way to dampen a micro-vibrating Printed Circuit Board inside an amp? Thanks! I'm somewhat embarrased to say, that a few years ago I was 'experimenting' with a couple of Naim pre-amps, a 122x and a 202(x?) (both garbage btw), and both had 'floating' main boards. They, Naim, even went so far as to say in the owners manual th... | |
| What does your DAC sound like I went from my trusty old, and very good, Stello DA 220 MkII to a Denafrips Pontus 15th a while ago, and was staggered by how much better it was, but ONLY after it'd had a few weeks 'running in' - it sounded flat and lifeless when new. I was so e... | |
| What does your DAC sound like @willywonka - Total rubbish! 'Your' listening skills may not be good enough, but plenty of peoples are, mine included. Don't judge others' skills by your own. | |
| What does your DAC sound like My Stello DA220 MkII, which is a great sounding DAC, has just been replaced with a Denafrips Pontus 15th, and the difference is staggering. The Pontus is the smoothest, most analogue sounding DAC that I've heard (I haven't heard your 3 examples), ... | |
| I’m considering upgrading my speakers internal wiring @mapman Considering the amount of posts you post, your comment of - 'If you want to do it do it', is,,,, useless and unhelpful. | |
| Why does USB feature so much in discussions about DACs when the newer HDMI seems better? @vinylshadow - Toslink, whether glass or some kind of plastic, is THE worst thing to use for audio connections. It's been slagged off for decades, since it was first used for audio in fact, for having terrible sound quality. Obviously opinions wil... |
