| Optical Cable recommendations Nothing wrong with me, I don't go around making ignorant absolute statements | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Spotify has all the great old Verve jazz recordings on a playlist. I was listening today to all the old greats. Young, Peterson, Evans, Getz etc. All recorded on tube amps and the digital remaster sound great to me. Good old straight ahead Jazz.So... | |
| spend on the streamer or on the DAC ? I'm just getting into streaming so after ditching the throw way interconnects and hooking up my Node2i with an Audience Cable, I am quite impressed. My next move will be to have an ethernet cable strung to my listening room and I've ordered some o... | |
| Optical Cable recommendations Well, I ordered some. Looking forward to more audio nerd testing. Thanks. | |
| My Oppo is a bit too bright It will make a good transport. Depending on your budget, the Schiit Dacs have a good rep as does the Denafrips Ares II at around $700.Your coax cable makes a difference. The mellowest coax digital cable I've found is the Audio Advisor Penangea for... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Just ran across an oldie. A Concord CD Tour De Force. Scott Hamilton, Al Cohn, et al. Live in Japan. Nice. | |

You might call Audio Advisor reps as they handle both the Audiolab and the Blue Sound. Get their... | |
| Preview: CODA Technologies new generation number#8 Stereo Amplifier When I used to make audio cables years ago, I used to own a pair of their Mono blocks. Man I loved their products. Those speakers and Chapman Audio speakers gave me a rock solid referent system. For several years I showed with them at CES. We soun... | |
| Hybrid Amplifiers suggestions I wasn't impressed with the Rogue Sphynx 3. Descent amp, but all I heard was class D. Don't take my word. Just my taste and observation. I was surprised due to the good word on this one. | |
| Bookshelf speaker fix I tied that first and was amazed at how good it sounded. Actually I think what was happening was similar to just setting the speakers further apart and the imaging and sound stage spread out. For me the upside down thing with the speakers at maxim... |
