| Cable Controversy Agree with hifiman5, disagree with psag. I believe cables ARE tone controls...without question. Everyone's perception of what "sounds good" is different. Let's say someone prefers a certain flavor of sound. Cable A might take them further away fr... | |
| Cable Controversy @cleeds, maybe I didn't explain myself well enough. I wouldn't be surprised if manufacturers used blind testing within their own company to test out their products amongst other companies. I meant that they wouldn't want US to do it. | |
| Cable Controversy To quote Stereophile magazine founder, Gordon Holt, from an interview in 2007:“Audio as a hobby is dying, largely by its own hand. As far as the real world is concerned, high-end audio lost its credibility during the 1980s, when it flatly refused ... | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? @aniwolfe, when I order my second cord I will stack them with Herbie's Audio Lab Tenderfeet. I've used them on other products. They are great and will be perfect for stacking the core power techs, IMO.I'll be ready soon Mark! | |
| Tidal equivalent for Classical? @depetri, I too had the same issue as you regarding not being able to control classicsonline from the sofa. Recently a member told me about "Google chrome remote desktop". I am EXTREMELY computer illiterate and I got it to work. Basically, now my ... | |
| Cable Controversy @hifiman5,....... VERY interesting, I must say. Never thought of it from that perspective. | |
| Cable Controversy Something else just occurred to me. For the sake of argument, let’s use the number 100. It could be more, it could be less, but let’s just use 100. Using the seven components I listed in my last post (transport, digital cable, dAC, interconnects, ... | |
| Cable Controversy @hifiman5, one more thing regarding your post, specifically your use of the word "faithfully". You say you want to transmit the signal as faithfully as possible. Ok. Faithful to what? Let’s say you purchase a cd. You take this cd home and you want... | |
| Cable Controversy @hifiman5, I think you need to read my post again. Regarding your post, you say "the wire in the amp is one of many designed for a specific purpose" (or more realistically, price point). Also, when your binding post broke, you followed someone's... | |
| Cable Controversy I see the topic of discussion on this thread is dealing with balanced cables at the moment so forgive me if I take a slight detour from that. However the OP asked about cables in general, and requested to hear "voices of experience and sanity", s... | |
| Recommnedations for moderately price balanced IC's, and adaptors to an RCA end If your system can take silver without being bright, I recommend the xlr cables from Mark Tunis. I have them on my warmish sounding amp and they are great. Dirt cheap too. | |
| Can't get ipad to control Tidal on Mini @johnziomas, yes I messaged you as well. My computer is a Mac Mini. The Audirvana I purchased isn't showing up on my computer and I followed the installation instructions.I tried Google chrome remote but it asks to type "chrome apps" (or something... | |
| Can't get ipad to control Tidal on Mini Got the Audirvana A+ remote app on the ipad, but it still can't control Tidal on my computer. When I use the ipad music only comes from the ipad itself. It doesn't control the computer. What's going on?Any help? | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? Oh Jeez, Mark. I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery! | |
| Job Integrated Amp. @jond, thanks. Yeah, I’ve had tubes on them before and they sounded wonderful. I had a wyred4sound STI-500 on them a couple years ago and the warmish characteristic of that integrated sounded great with my speakers. I’m awaiting another one. Shoul... |
