| LAIV Harmony @tweak1 I believe they have a preamp on the way. The design is compartmentalized better for internal RF interference like separates in one box. If their preamp is as good as the DAC this company could really be interesting, I could spend a lot le... | |
| LAIV Harmony @smweber2 Thanks for the kind words. I. moved out my PS Audio direct stream DAC MK 2 and for that matter I moved out all my BHK PS Audio equipment. I really just didn’t like the noise, the PS A BHK equipment sounded wonderful and extra tube like... | |
| LAIV Harmony I moved out my PS Audio direct stream DAC MK 2 and for that matter I moved out all my BHK PS Audo equipment. I really just didn’t like the noise, the PS A BHK equipment sounded wonderful and extra tube like and buttery but it’s just noisy. The Har... | |
| LAIV Harmony Just listened to the Harmony DAC and I’m really happy it’s very quiet and sounds surprisingly good. For now it’s replacing my $9k DAC. Amazing. | |
| Double up on speaker cables Cables don't make any sound they can only hinder frequencies so when you put them together you will only get the negative effects from both cables. It's not that one cable is airy it's that that cable has poor response everywhere else. Your speake... | |
| why expensive streamers I feel like there needs to be some consequences when audiophile companies rip off rich people and the hobby they love. | |
| why expensive streamers @siox //Audio (even hi-res) has so little information content relative to the mega and giga bit communication and processing speeds (bandwidth, BW)// Doesn't that mean the audio signal is simple comparatively? The audio signal is simple the frequ... | |
| why expensive streamers @soix You are right to understand that audio is a simple signal for electronics. Look at even simple video is a much more complex signal, a few dozen years ago some manufactures put video parts into audio equipment and the specs went up exponenti... | |
| Reel to Reel R to R gets better every year. Look at the S/N ratio or A waited S/N either way they are really poor compared to digital. There is a whole host of problems bias, closed heads, dirty arms, magnetized heads, can't get tape, dirty tape, the wrong tap... | |
| I just bought a Steinway which sounds like a banjo. When will sound reproduction become serious? Answer When audiophiles use the same equipment as in the recording studio. And pay much more attention to the acoustics in their rooms. Terms are used all the time in recording they are just a refere... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords In all the cable cable controversy, it is the cable believers who so quickly go to the ad hominem remarks and get upset so quickly. This is no surprise since they are the ones who have fell for the anti-science paycho acoustic depths and spent so ... | |
| Those rare albums that are great on first listen. The reason why you like music the more you listen to it is called neuroplasticity. The reason why you like an album or a song right off the bat is because it reminded you of something that you liked already. The reason why we audiophiles like our ... | |
| Worst Speakers Ever?? B & W 802d definitely the worst speaker for the price, way to bright. JBL speakers are probably what most classic rock songs of the 70 and 80s were recorded on. They are not up for criticism only you are if you don't appreciate them. | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing @audphile1 How do you explain cables being //Not difficult to hear// but impossible to see on a frequency or amplitude graph? Are the cables making a difference in sound apart from frequency and amplitude? I honestly want to know what you think. ... | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing @audphile1 You say I wasn't there at the original recording, well I was I spend many many many many decades recording sound all over the world at the highest level in studios, churches, opera houses, castles trains and city streets I do know how t... |
