| What happened to all the highend stereo shops I attended Axpona 2023 in April, and the Renaissance Schaumburg Hotel & Convention Center where Axpona was being held had so many people at the show that the hotel had to constantly run a fleet of shuttle buses between the Convention Center an... | |
| A SHOCKING DISCOVERY ABOUT DIGITAL AUDIO @dill: Your comment at the top of this thread reminds me, the owner of a fishing trawler based in Gloucester, Massachusetts, that I’m in need of a crew member who’s skilled at prepping fishing lines for deployment - in other words, I’m on the look... | |
| Dark Horse DAC @audioman58: What you call the "Holosprings KTE" is actually the Holo Audio "MAY" KTE dac ("KTE" stands for "Kitsune Tuned Edition," Holo Audio’s premium version of their "MAY" R-to-R resistor-ladder dac, which is available in three versions: base... | |
| un-becoming an audiophile @ dabel: On Page 1 of this thread, in your comment to @bigtwin, you Waxed Eloquent! | |
| New Class D amplifiers @kuribo: Then, how do you account for why gallium nitride (GaN) FET transistors are being touted as "all the rage" among afficionados of Class-D amplifiers these days (witness the Stereophile review of the HiFi Rose RA180)? Could you please cite ... | |
| New Class D amplifiers @grantgg: I am surprised that neither you, in your quite lengthy list of Class-D amps (including integrated models), nor has anyone else contributing to this forum’s thus-far two pages of discussion on this topic, mentioned the now quite widely ad... | |
| Cable curmudgeon @jhills: I'm setting aside some time this coming Memorial Day Weekend Sundry Afternoon specifically to ponder your question - when I'll mull over the distinct possibility that your bibs may be bobbing on the surface of the waters of the pondry? W... | |
| Cable curmudgeon @khughes: I think the 2022 Memorial Day Holiday itself falls on mondry this year, rather than on sundry, as you said above. In any event, I hope you enjoy yours and manage to get through the long weekend without getting all tangled up in a rat’s n... | |
| Cable curmudgeon I have a WONDERFUL, nearly cable-free sound system - the only cable it has is the power cord to the wall outlet - no other cords needed; it solves everyone’s cable dilemma perfectly: a Bose Table-Top Radio with Built-In CD Player (it does have a s... | |
| Many higher end preamps are dated and ugly, why is this? It is VASTLY more important to me that my preamplifier - amplifier - DAC - streamer - CD transport/player - speaker array - every single one of them - must LOOK good (how they SOUND pales in importance by comparison)! My family and friends simpl... | |
| Prima Luna have released the Kracken (striketrough) I mean DAC @yakbob: You mentioned in passing that, and I quote, "I would have been very happy to keep the MP but was tempted by all the Holo May dac talk and caved." Having ’caved,’ how do you feel about your Holo Audio ’MAY’ DAC? As it happens, I, too, ga... | |
| Prima Luna have released the Kracken (striketrough) I mean DAC @rixthetrick: Can’t imagine your NOT skimming a wee bit of that cream off the top of your pail-ful of deeeelishus fresh cow’s milk you’re bringing home! Wondering also if THIS is how pigs react when they realize their slop trough has just been re... | |
| Prima Luna have released the Kracken (striketrough) I mean DAC @rixthetrick: Prima Luna have released the Kracken (striketrough) I mean DAC I am a farmer, and my pigs feed from the SLOP TROUGH (pig slop trough - Google Search). Not sure what a STRIKE TROUGH is, though. | |
| CD transport vs.streaming @ nonoise: You're Spot(ify) on! | |
| DAC Question: Delta-Sigma vs R2R @ noske : The folk at Holo are disciples of certain funky marketing gimmicks which do not impress me. Could you please specify in detail just what those ’marketing gimmicks’ Holo Audio employs are? Thank you! I bought my Holo Audio ’MAY KTE’ ... |
