| Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper vs. Cardas Clear interconnects @mclinnguy I am familiar with Audio Bacon’s review. I read several forum comments about the Boomslang and I figured I’d give it a shot. Just didn’t work for me in my system. @steakster After my experience with the lower tiered Acoustic Zen MC2=... | |
| Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper vs. Cardas Clear interconnects @mclinnguy I conducted an AES digital cable shootout with the following; 1. Mogami W3080 AES/EBU - Too thin sounding. 2. Synergistic Research - Foundation SX AES/EBU - Too forward in the treble. 3. Snake River Audio - Boomslang AES/EBU - Too ve... | |
| Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper vs. Cardas Clear interconnects @pinwa You have a nice system and I bet those Maggie’s sing! Thanks for sharing! | |
| Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper vs. Cardas Clear interconnects @decooney I couldn’t agree more, but it’s always fun to hear some insight from the community who may own the product of interest. There have been times where there is the same theme going around about a product from hifi reviewers and actual owne... | |
| Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper vs. Cardas Clear interconnects @audphile1 I am very familiar with the Cable Co. 5% loan program. I have to demo it first because if I don’t like it, I’m out of $100 or so bucks vs. buying it used and trying to sell it. BUT, if I like it, I plan to buy it used. Yes, please sen... | |
| Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper vs. Cardas Clear interconnects @pinwa What speakers, preamp and power amp do you have paired with the Acoustic Zen cables? Also, my question is not about AES cables. It’s seeking impressions from anyone with the Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper interconnects vs. Cardas Clear, and... | |
| Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper vs. Cardas Clear interconnects @audphile1 I literally just realized that. That’s why I was confused. Lol…. I just deleted that post. My mistake and thank you, | |
| Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper vs. Cardas Clear interconnects @audphile1 I appreciate your impressions! Sharing a comparison of several other cable brands and how the Absolute Copper interconnects sound in your system is good information. I am surprised the Absolute speaker cable was dark sounding in you... | |
| Looking for integrated solid state amp for daily usage @retroactiv A used HEGEL H160 or H190 might work for you? | |
| Transparent Audio is anything but Transparent @marshinski15 I called and asked “how do MM2 Ultras stack up against the G5 Supers. I was literally told that they don’t give out that information. It seems like they could have shared their impressions on the improvements or difference in sou... | |
| Aurender Model Choices @audphile1 Bingo! 😆 This hifi game is serious business when it should be a simple hoppy for fun! @jfrmusic Keep in mind the MSB DACs do not come equipped with a USB input. MSB is a modular DAC and they chose not to include the USB module as many... | |
| Aurender Model Choices @jfrmusic No problem! If I had to choose one of those DACs you mentioned without hearing them, I’d probably get the Mola Mola. I bought the MSB Discrete because it’s been my first choice of upgrade without hearing it in “my” system and I have no... | |
| Aurender Model Choices @jfrmusic Thanks for the gear compliment! My experience with Benchmark vs. Holo Audio is a good question. The Benchmark is excellent for the money, but the Holo Audio was smoother, bigger soundstage, better bass, mids, and just produced a better... | |
| Aurender Model Choices @audphile1 Thank you! I have a buddy in my audiophile circle that has the N20 and an upper tier MSB DAC, using the AES and clock connection, and he loves the combination. I haven’t heard it because we don’t live in the same area. The price diff... | |
| Aurender Model Choices @audphile1 You have a really nice setup and I have read good things about Bricasti! @jfrmusic I am a big fan of Benchmark because the DAC1 USB was the first external DAC I purchased in about 2008/09 and I owned the DAC3L as well! Years later, I b... |
