| Oyaide gpx r v2 or vondita The GPX R V2 is more neutral sounding. Pretty linear with very good and tight bass. The Vondita is sweeter and has a more organic flow to it. | |
| Vfet / SIT Amplifiers First Watt SIT-3 owner checking in. Well, it has limited power but it sounds bigger than suggested by its spec sheet. It sounds more like a tube amp than a SS one, with a lot of dimensionality, super staging and air. Overall balance is warm and fu... | |
| Zu Omen Dirty Weekend Setup tips I've had mind for a while. They aren't that fussy about placement, but I needed the back of the cabinets about 1 1/2 feet from the wall (my wall is made out of concrete) to get optimal bass without muddying the midrange.Despite the heavy run-in re... | |
| Props to Black Cat Cables Chris is very open about exactly what you are paying for. It helps that his cables go against the garden hose trend and are flexible, easy to work with, and most importantly sound great for their price. | |
| Acrolink 8N-PC8100 Performante Power Cable That a limited edition model - once it's gone, it's gone. A little bird told me that the 9700 model will be replaced shortly. | |
| Has anyone tried the Audience Forte F3 power cord? If you like a warm and laidback tone with good amounts of detail, this is probably the best value power cord out there. I bought two of these cords and brought them over to a friend's place. We also had another power cord that cost more than 30x t... | |
| Oyaide Cables Since there is some interest in Oyaide, I'll share my thoughts on the various Oyaide cables I've tried. I'm in Singapore, and we have a local dealer that makes sourcing their cables easy.Power CordsPA23 - Thinner than the monstrous Tunami. Good hi... | |
| I Had a Chance to Finally Demo the Black Cat Digit-75 Just saw this post. I have tried the Silverstar Mk I against the Digit 75 and the Tron. I own both the Digit and Tron. The Silverstar was loaned from a friend.Yours observations are very similar to mine except that the gap between the Digit 75 and... | |
| Oyaide Cables My $0.02 worth - they don't have a consistent house sound, but rather have models that cater to different taste. Some can be quite bright, while some can be full and rich.I only have experience with their ICs and power cords. But the Tunami Terzo ... | |
| Acrolink Cables, anyone heard them? While a bit of an oversimplification, Acrolink's main strength is in the high frequencies, where they have a very extended, yet silky and refined presentation. As you go up the range, you get increased refinement, detail, dynamics and bass weight.... | |
| A comparison between two DACs, one R-2R, the other ES 9038-based. Very interesting post.I actually spent some quality time with both of the said DACs and I found them to have some similarities but different at the same time. In the case of the Pontus, changing between the sampling and non oversampling mode shoul... | |
| acrolink vs. esoteric/ acrolink They are the same. Many of the Esoteric models are sold outside Japan under the name of Acrolink.I am very familiar with their cables, and personally own quite a number including the Mexcel PC-7500, 9500 and the new 9700 power cords. | |
| DIY - Two kits using similar tweeter to Tekton I actually happen to have both the LS50 (passive) and the SB Acoustics Ara at home at the moment. The KEF is my personal pair, while the SB Acoustics is on loan at the moment.My $0.02 worth is that the SB Acoustics is the better of the two to my e... | |

| Melco N1A Music Server I used to have the Melco N1A and now use the Melco N1ZH. Either unit will sound noticeably superior to an unoptimised computer. Both Melcos are sonically far ahead of my Synology 214 NAS used as a DLNA server by the way.Although you won't get this... |
