| Is it worth it? DAC question That works when I play through my MacBook. When i disconnect the cable from my MacBook and connect it to the Node---nothing. I was beginning to think the Zen Dac wasn’t working but it works fine with my computer, just not the Node. About to give ... | |
| A reasonably priced DAC upgrade from Schiit Gumby If your like the warmer/fuller sound, you are pretty much stuck with the Gungnir/Yggdrasil line of Schiit dacs. Even the cost no object MSBs, Esoterics, Vermeers, etc, will sound anemic to you, i.e., you are done, i.e., you have your "end game". ... | |
| Speaker Cable Recommendation Looking for cables that may add some "weight" to the following system. Decware 300b tube amp (8watts), Klipsch Forte IV, Holo May Dac, PS Audio BHK Pre with 12AU7 input tubes. My room is 20X12, not treated, vaulted ceiling, fair amount of glass. ... | |
| Best RCA interconnect up to ~$100? SVS rca interconnects --> warm/thick sound with admirable detail retrieval/noise mitigation (same goes for their speaker cables, xlrs, etc)...There is no beating SVS cables on a 100 dollar budget if you like that type of sound. | |
| Replacing surround with sound bar Get the Sony HT-A9...it is a big step up from goofyass soundbars without the complications of 5.2.4, 7.4.6 etc atmos setups. https://youtu.be/eHcjvdGbaa0?si=k3-AD8SN0BGmeANn | |
| Are cable “upgrades” just as likely to make your system sound worse? I’ve generally not liked the sound of anything with silver in it, whether it’s touted as an upgrade or not. OCC or OFC is where it’s at for me. Cable deniers: If i passed a blind a/b comparison 20/20 times (statistically significant) in my rig+ro... | |
| Are Shakti Stones effective? If s listener whacks himself on the head with the Shakti stone ( a few times before the listening session), it will open the blakkkk background like no other. If the listener whacks his head harder again with Shakti, other audiophoopheephee metric... | |
| Ground Loop? Simplify life a bit in the future and use a li'l isolator like this perhaps... | |
| Can you live with your current speaker until you die? Well, I may never wake from tonight’s slumber... You may never wake from tonight’s slumber... So, your current speaker better be the one you can live with until you die... Always listen to your speaker like it’s your last night on earth, dude!!... | |
| Is there a way to switch one set of speakers between two sound systems? @cundare2 , I just swapped the Luxman AS-55 in/out of my big rig a few times. (Relevant equipment: Lux M900u --> AQ Thunderbird --> TAD), I can't hear degradation/anything different...Typically (for the most part), i can hear a gnat's fart... | |
| How to make the Focal Kanta No. 2 speakers sing? Last thing I will note in defense of the tweeter in your Focal Kantas is that they will deliver superb detail... it seems as though many audiophiles like calling this ’bright’. No one doubts Focal’s capabilites (going the whole nine yards, buil... | |
| How to make the Focal Kanta No. 2 speakers sing? @deep_333 You never got a chance to post those pics of your two channel system that incorporates Bache, Id still love to see that setup, thanks in advance. @bikeboy52 The virtual systems module has been broken for months. I can neither upload m... | |
| How to make the Focal Kanta No. 2 speakers sing? You can block anyone by going to your settings page Good grief, i found it, thanks...Now, i can only hope that I am isolated from this one dude (either a genuine barking imbecile or peddler for some brands/paid pied piper, whatever he may be). | |
| How to make the Focal Kanta No. 2 speakers sing? Hey guys, is there any way on this forum to put one clueless barking bozo (who follows me around on threads like a rabid creature) in a permanent ignore blackhole? | |
| How to make the Focal Kanta No. 2 speakers sing? Well that’s just utter crap. If a mass market prepro incorporated anywhere near the level of parts quality of a good stereo preamp its price would go up several times, which is exactly why the better prepros out there that actually do a decent jo... |
