| Another cable question @soix , +1. I use AZ Silver Ref 2 throughout, and they are the most open, "natural", extended cables I’ve used thus far. I’d never thought a cable could seemingly widen the soundstage, but here we are. The AZ definitely do not have the stereotypic... | |
| DSD Remastering Software Experience My Lumin T3 has the option to upscale everything to DSD 64, 128 or 256. While I haven’t upscaled hi-res sources (e,g. > 24-96) to DSD I have done so with redbook and 24-48. To be honest, while the effect was a "smoothing" of the sound, it seeme... | |
| Kickstarter for AAA "Vintage" with Kenny Barron, Joe Martin and Johnathan Blake I backed your last project No Filter, which sounded fantastic, and of course was excellent music. Your previous (first?) album, The Turn gets a lot of plays as well. The Turn may not be all analog, but may be my favorite of the two for production... | |
| Would silver cables beat UP-OCC copper? +1 soix. I also use AZ Silver Ref (version 2) and it is not at all bright, but rather extended on both ends, overall neutral, with just a hair leaning towards the "warm" side. Completely natural and non fatiguing. TBH, I'm not sure why the fall... | |
| Animals 2018 Mix LP - Mistracking? @drbalance Funny lately I have noticed sporadic mistracking on other albums, for example on some high level sax parts and even occasional IGD on rock records in the past few weeks (even though that part on PF Animals was clean) I checked the alig... | |
| RCA is loose If crimping isnt possible, try conductive copper tape around the pin. If jerry-rigging is necessary, might as use something more conductive than aluminium mentioned in the OP. | |
| Tube Rolling for Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum 2 Not quite apples to apples to the CMII, but I own a Stereo 100, driven by an RP9 preamp. I’ve gone through many combos of NOS(ish) gain and driver tubes in the ST100, and have settled on CBS 7729 (uber quiet wide bandwidth 12AX7 type) as gain and ... | |
| Animals 2018 Mix LP - Mistracking? @drbalance I just listened to that exact part, in the Animals 2018 mix vinyl, and heard no rattling in the right channel after that drum fill. I even listened twice to be sure. Sounded clear, albeit with some normal resonance from the drums and/o... | |
| Snake oil of the year? While the dude in the YT video comes across as a very pretentious prick, he does IMO point out that this switch is a bunch of hooey. Seriously a glued on crystal makes it a "crystal oscillator"? That is hilarious. Folks couldn’t tell a difference ... | |
| Anyone Still Using Zerodust There is literally nothing conclusive nor scientific about the Fremer Onzow article, and certainly no evidence that the residue was from the Onzow. It’s unfortunate that with the weight Fremer’s words carry in the analog community, he would irresp... | |
| Are Their any Tube Preamp with Home Theater Bypass? Rogue RP series have HT bypass when powered off. | |
| Best Examples Of Cymbal Decays On A Recording My Foolish Heart, the first track on Bill Evans Waltz for Debby, has a prominent, extended ride cymbal to start off the song. Pretty much any track from that Village Vanguard session has delicate, airy, sweet cymbal decay. Just a lovely recording,... | |
| Vogue Audio 7N OCC silver cables Received the Vogue silver power cord, with rhodium ends a couple days ago. For now I've swapped out my DH Labs Corona for the Vogue. Build quality is excellent, but am surprised how thin (still is 11 AWG) and flexible the Vogue is compared to th... | |
| Vogue Audio 7N OCC silver cables Because of this thread, I’ve just spent some money, a nearly ~$400 experiment (which is a great price for a 6 foot silver PC TBH!). I just ordered the Vogue PC, it will be compared to a DH Labs Corona, in either my Rogue RP9 pre or ST100 power. I’... | |
| Blue Note Tone Poet Series @palasr I'm glad that I'm not the only one who notices it on For Django, at loud volumes that tone is rather distracting! Was beginning to think there was something amiss with my system. Otherwise For Django is a lovely album, with superb ... |
