| Which would you pick between the two DAC. @eddy1 If it were me in your shoes, I would only push the spend if I was planning on upgrading my other components in the near future. If you are on that path, then spending more will pay dividends now and down the line. Let’s call this the patien... | |
| Which would you pick between the two DAC. I also want to add that I'm waiting until the dust settles on the latest Sonore offerings. There is an upgrade ahead of the Yggy in the near future. May be Sonore, or SOtM, or dCS or Antipodes. Mentioning this because it demonstrates my faith in t... | |
| Which would you pick between the two DAC. @eddy1 There are a number of great options in DACLand.Since I have the Wadia 121, the Exogal Comet Plus, and the Schiit Yggdrasil...I figured my comments may be helpful since these products have been discussed in this thread.First, you are getting... | |

| SOtM dCBL-CAT7 LAN Cable @dlcockrum Dave, thanks for sharing your findings. Always helpful.@macdude Thanks for the tip. I'm having trouble getting Cox to drop a new line in so I can get a dedicated feed to the other side of the house where the audio room is. If I can ma... | |
| Your thoughts about ATC loudspeakers @shadorne Thank you very much for your response to my inquiry on the active versions.You wrote: " As you go larger and go active the clarity and distortion drops..." Did you mean to say that clarity drops? Clarity increases and distortion drop... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Ok, so in living up to my word on testing the DIs up against the front wall and then out in their ’regular’ position.....Please know that these findings are based on a relatively quick test to answer a question and/or an unknown for me, based on t... | |

| Tekton Double Impacts @yakbob You landed on the thread at a good time : ) That is, if you want feedback on close placement to the wall!Page 40 and 41 of the thread have some vigourous coverage of this very topic. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @lmswjm Thanks for your recommendation. I will check his harpsichord recording out.I listen to a lot of solo string performances, and stringed instruments are rendered gloriously as well. | |
