| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I’ve had two Reds in a VAC Avatar integrated for three days. The effect is trans-formative, and seems to cry out for measurement and explanation from EE-types. This is not to say that I’m fully sold on the Red’s. I’ve always been a skeptic of t... | |
| Your "eureka" digital moment Mine was the same as Map's except I was already using a Benchmark DAC. FLAC-to-JRiver-to-USB-to-Benchmark was vastly superior to CD-to-Wadia-to-Coax-to-Benchmark. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Is the amp rating and size all you have to worry about in choosing a fuse? I was going to try the Reds in a VAC Avatar but the chassis says 5A 125V, and the VHAUDIO site shows the Red as 5A 250V. Thanks. | |
| New format, dislike..... As a suggestion, I think the user interface of Gmail on an iPhone is the most natural and intuitive. If you pull down the scroll and there is no more messages, it uses that tug as a signal to go get more messages if there are any. I find the tra... | |
| Latest Absolute Sound I think there's very little new in circuit design, other than class D, and if you throw $1000 in parts at a good design, you've thrown in the kitchen sink, and you get a superb amp. The rest goes to manufacturing, packaging, marketing, retail mar... | |
| New format, dislike..... As a meta-comment, I seem to be reading it less, and there seems less activity. | |
| Best Cables for around $500 Ghost, since you have the Stagers, I'll be interested in your choice. I really needed the upper frequency content they revealed. Good luck | |
| Best Cables for around $500 I'm really impressed with the $150 Stager Solid Silver from DAC to amp. No risk trial, so give it a shot. It's amazing the difference it made in my rig. | |
| Linn 24 Bits Of Christmas I was listening to their free 24 bit Christmas album from last year when I saw your post. Great stuff. Thanks. | |
| New Forum Format Sucks Interesting that the page header still has sharpness and color saturation, then you have faded pastels and thin font below as the the improvement. Not as eye friendly to me. | |
| Folk/Rock choices that are well recorded I'm with Rcprince in the Byrds being a favorite. I bought some super-deal 5 CD set of their top albums on Amazon, but the sound quality really sucked. Are there any good remasters of Byrds albums?If you like those harmonies and format,the Roches (... | |
| Ideal Cheap Low-Watt Amp for Martin Logan Quest Stephen, Granted, you have a difficult speaker to match with a low cost amp, but I can offer a positive note on the speakers. I bought mine from a dealer who had a used pair, along with a used pair of Apogee Duetta's. We spent most of the day comp... | |
| What vintage speaker might you use today Advents, Scotts, and KLH boxes were acoustic suspension, and I miss the sound of that bass. Having bass leak out a port or a passive radiator always seemed kinda sloppy. | |
| Ideal Cheap Low-Watt Amp for Martin Logan Quest Do you have the original Quests or the Quest-Z? I had (still in basement) the original and they are a tough impedance curve, and may need quite a lot of oomph from the amp. I tried the Mark Levinson ml-27, which sounded wretched. I tried a Classe'... | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable Referring to OP, I always assumed it was a natural consequence of the 'phile in audiophile, where the audio system becomes the object of obsession, love and affection. You give it roses instead of petunias, and if you've got the loot, you must giv... |
