| RCA Shorting Plugs @almarg In the related thread mentioned herein, I posted a question worthy (IMO) of your input (no pun intended) :) As that question has gone unanswered there, I thought I might pose the question here.Might or should there be a theoretical or prac... | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil -- 21 bit? @david_ten and @gbmcleod Thanks for the candid feedback regarding Yggdrasil "stock" power cords and footers. It's nice (for me at least) to understand there is yet another upgrade path and/or means to improvement. I'm more than content for the im... | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil -- 21 bit? A question for Yggdrasil owners: do you still use the stock power cord provided with the unit or have you substituted another cord? I'm using the stock power cord. I substituted the power cord immediately. I also removed the very 'basic' footers. ... | |
| How important is the rack you use for your components I'm using a Salamander Synergy Triple Unit SL20 A/V cabinet. It's essential in terms of housing my audio and video gear, but in no way do I believe it contributes positively or negatively to the sound or picture quality. | |
| How do you determine value & performance? How do you determine value & performance?It would seem to me the only answer would be in the opinion of whomever is doing a comparison between two or more like components that are new. I write new because the used market has other variables, s... | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil -- 21 bit? IMO, whenever you plan to listen - even after break-in - it's nice to have run the Yggy with a source for 30 minutes to an hour prior to your listening session.+1!Most bands have an "opening act". Prior to my listening to a live recording of a two... | |
| Best affordable digital coax cable for connecting transport to re-clocker? Not meaning to be rhetorical, but I’m of the opinion that no DAC *rejects* jitter. Instead it boils down to how well the DAC deals with it once accepted. Oh and I too use Blue Jeans (Belden) 1694A. | |
| Audio Horizons fuses.... won’t buy them again... Just stay away from the fuse snake oil, it’s all BS just to get your dollars.@georgehifi While I’m inclined to agree with you completely, I’m curious as to your opinion as to why so many folks (on this forum and others, such as very recent posting... | |

| Gumby vs Yggy ya got to keep rubbing it in about the Yggy gdhal lol@treynolds155Sorry for the misunderstanding. Only because I cannot say/write with first hand experience about how the Gungnir sounds and you wrote "...something about the sound that I can't put ... | |
| Gumby vs Yggy There is just something about the sound that I can’t put my finger on....smoothness...air...less fatigue??Right. I’ve found myself using the word more "authentic" sounding, albeit I have the Yggy. :) | |
| Most satisfying system change in 2017? Upgrading from Golden Ear Triton One to Golden Ear Triton Reference speakers. Made possible only because I was able to privately sell my T1s at a good price. | |
| EAC ripped files question You can send an email to Andre at eac@exactaudiocopy.org and/or check the forum http://www.digital-inn.de/forums/exact-audio-copy-english.14/To my knowledge - and I could be wrong here - the program is NOT writing *all* of that type/kind of meta d... | |
| Speaker distance The Denon CD does not explain (verbally or documentation) how to use the out of phase track. So your point is well taken. | |
| Speaker distance And that can ONLY be done with a careful long term program of room treatment plus the fabled XLO Test CD speaker placement track IMHO. @geoffkait Hello Geoff. To your point about the XLO test cd, which I then had a follow up with you where you sta... |
