| I finally got a record cleaning machine. First thoughts. @mijostyn Thanks. I’ll have to think about what you said and look at the photo. | |
| Monstrous power cables I find generally, cables, cords, and interconnects typically make noticeable and important differences in the sound quality and occasionally huge differences. I have not been able to predict which is going to be huge. I have a number of very fond ... | |
| Power Cord suggestion(s) for Rogue Cronus Magnum III Good for you trying some. Unless you can’t live without them you should not buy them. Speaker cables, analog interconnects, digital interconnects and power cords can all make a difference. At times over the last 50 years as I have pursued high en... | |
| Narrowing down the field (DAC wise) In general I trust The Absolute Sound reviews. From that it is hard to think the Denfrips would be a bad choice… assuming dynamic and detailed is what you are looking for. It sounds like a great deal for a ~$5K DAC. | |
| Why Is Hi Fi Gear So Darn Expensive? There are two standard ways of pricing: First, the market: basically compare your product with the available on performance and aesthetics, then to price accordingly. The second is cost plus… basically all costs plus the profit you require. If wha... | |
| AudioQuest Hurricane High Current Question. I believe you got the correct one. I assume you wanted for an amp or power conditioner. This is the one I use on my ARC Ref 160m amps and it sounds amazing. You would want the other for a source component. | |
| Monstrous power cables Power cords make a big difference in sound… that is the why. It is best to think about plugging into your outlet as plugging lake, as opposed to plugging into a 14 gauge “hose”. I think the founder of Shunyata uses this analogy. Power does not wor... | |
| My last Integrated Amp: $5-10,000? Pass Labs INT60. | |
| New to streaming question Good question. If you have hard wired your Naim to your router… then the Naim should working as a Streamer, DAC, and integrated amp. So the phone should not be involved… other than a controller. So, the Naim can select between inputs… Bluetoot... | |
| Dumbest cable question Good question. I have certainly wondered about directionality in cables that do not have network boxes (I see why those are directional). I have some with arrows… there are so many variables… and quite frankly I would rather be listening to music.... | |
| Considering moving on from B&W... Magico are really fast and take on the character of the equipment you feed them with. So, at least to me, you have to have really good equipment or you are going to hear any shortfalls. | |
| Sharing my experience with cables @buckhorn_cortez Thanks for sharing. Great hearing observations from your experiences. | |
| Does remote control degrade the sound of tube preamps? @music_is_life Understood. Thanks for sharing. | |
| WiFi streaming — streamer vs. through iPad OP, ‘’Great move. I look forward to hearing the results you experience. | |
| Turntable sub $4k buy decisions too many. I really love Bubinga. Really beautiful wood. I will be really interested in hearing your impressions of the sound. |
