| What say you binding posts or direct wire? @carlsbad Hoping you see this. I would be very interested in getting a bit more info on how you make your binding posts. I have been wanting to do something similar. Thanks. | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update I also like the new firmware as well and had installed for two weeks but I decided to roll back today to the original 1.0 firmware to compare. Wow. I definitely now prefer 1.0. I’m starting to think that they updated firmware 1.0 with the fixes an... | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update Yes, same here, 10-11 days with the fast filter on and didn't know! I'm not sure I find the sound awful necessarily but it's not where I think needs to be either. I've already moved some power cords around and rolled some tubes to help for now. Ju... | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update I just noticed something. Right after I installed the update a while back the Phase button was off which I always had on. Today, it hit me, I wondered if the update sort of put all settings back into a default state so I double checked to see that... | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update Yeah, it's pretty awesome. I'm following the discussions at other forums as well. Denafrips is great. To the point mentioned earlier, I have also started taking some measures to voice my system due to the change and for now have simply moved some ... | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update Yeah, I would occasionally get a pop/skip before the update but now it's a few seconds into each and every single track without fail. | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update My Pontus II has the EP4CE22F chip and this is welcome news. I too feel that while the new firmware has added some clarity and details that the treble does sound a little more prominent and there is a loss of some overall weight to the sound. As s... | |
| Help with V-Cap ODAM directionality in crossover Thanks! I was considering the inductors as well but you are right the stock inductors are surprisingly robust and Bill thought it might not be needed. I do think foil inductors would be really interesting. I think Usher must use these boards on se... | |
| Help with V-Cap ODAM directionality in crossover @tecknik @grannyring Sorry for the late reply! Yes, the install turned out great and went off without a hitch. Thanks so much to Bill for all his help! Yes, I did replace the stock sandcast resistors with Vishay/Mills and they are in fact mounted... | |
| 6SN7 vs 12SN7 I have a tube preamp that has a switch for 6 or 12V heater and I have several 6 and 12SN7’s. To me they sound about exactly the same but I swear my mind tells me the 12SN7 has the edge, they just sound a little better to me. | |
| Odyssey "Khartago" Stereo Extreme" amp compared to Schitt's "Vidar" amp I would like to follow up to this old, ridiculous thread and add to @mcreyn courteous post here and correct the grossly inaccurate comment made earlier by someone saying the Schiit Vidar weighs 13 lbs when in fact, even at it's near half-size stat... | |
| Speaker cable and Interconnect BRASS Connectors Are there audible characteristics that gold plated brass exhibits that anyone here has picked up on? I’m my experience with upgrading binding posts and AC connectors from gold plated brass to copper (gold and rhodium plating) that brass exhibits a... | |
| How old are you? Wow, audiophiles really are an old bunch aren't we? I'll turn 50 next year. | |
| Audio envy - dang! I had done a good amount of research on AE and contacted them with questions but never heard back. I ended up going with Zentara Reference II speaker cables. | |
| Anyone compared Morrow Audio Interconnect cables with Audio Envy Prestige interconnects? @tom6897 Do you know how much of a difference there is between the level 3 and level 4 speaker cables? My budget is a little tight. Also, do you have the newer cables without the silver coated copper? |
