| Thinking about another amplifier (Galion) Your post got me thinking about off brands in high end audio… new contenders, lower cost with similar designs, new designs with new tech. I never heard of Galion. So I looked them up and read some stuff about them. So, my thoughts run along two l... | |
| The 300B World @charles1dad …”This is an astute observation. It has been my contention for quite some time that those with thorough engineering and science backgrounds are open minded and do not dismiss what listeners say they hear…”. +1 to your post. Havin... | |
| Puritan Ultimate Power Cable What is your system? It would be really helpful in assessing the situation. There is a place under your UserID to put some photos and ID your components. | |
| My speakers have gone AWOL Congratulations. It is great when dilegence and hard work pay off. Beautiful system in a great looking room. | |
| The "audiophile gear" I REALLY need is a damn house. A headphone system is the way to go. You can achieve roughly the same sound quality for 1 / 10th the cost. I have the most amazing headphone system that I put together for around $15K that sounds very similar to my $150K main system. So, you can ... | |
| The New Amati G5 or Joseph Audio Pearl Graphene @prof Nice write up. You put a great deal of effort into this. Great contribution. Just to expand. No criticism of @prof. I owned several generations of Sonus Faber speakers and I have heard several levels in the current line up…. And own Ama... | |
| What is the most challenging music to play on a stereo? @johnk Ok, that is funny. | |
| The best speaker cables you’ve had @susurin I have had similar experiences with Kimber… it has been a couple decades… but after trying several different levels, I finally gave up and tossed it all.. | |
| AudioQuest vs Cardas XLR @lollipopguild Hard and bright are terms normally associated with new equipment before breakin. Run it 24 hours a day for at least 100 hours… and it should soften. But do not judge until at least 200 hours. | |
| Lampizator Gulfstream matching DAC? I just took a look at a couple reviews. There can be synergy in using two adjacent components from the same company (when they are good). I have a tube DAC as well… mine is ARC… but I would definitely go for the Lampizator. Sounds like a great DAC. | |
| Music Server Advice I always go for sound quality first and skip the add on functions. Hence I have two Aurender… they just sound better. Given your excellent equipment I would be using an Aurender streamer. For me I have learned to use the app and since I am on ... | |
| Interesting Power Cable Experience Thanks. Interesting. That is a new one on me, too much bass. Maybe it will calm down with time. | |
| Beginner home theater setup questions... Congratulations! Paying off your student loan is a big thing. I remember when I paid mine off. I have had a home theater for more than twenty years and improve it periodically. So we have a 77” Sony OLED in the home theater with a high end surrou... | |
| AES/EBU cable shootout @panzrwagn… “I’m still waiting for someone to explain to me how the last 1 or 2 meters in the digital communications chain can make a "huge difference" and the previous one or two thousand miles doesn’t make any difference.” The basic founding... | |
| A Different "Analog" Question I was getting close to retirement and decided it might be time to purchase that Rolex… to me a symbol since a kid of a successful man… yes, Bond… James Bond. So I did a lot of research and bought a TAG Heuer as a watch to get to know what I ne... |
