| Connecting Dragonfly 1.2 to Fiio E12 to AKG m220 Hi Azrco - I run a similar set up (I think) for headphone listening from a MacBook Air for Spotify or ripped CDs. I have AKG K550s and Senn HD600 'phones. For the more efficient AKGs, the Dragonfly v1.2 alone is adequate. It will even drive the... | |
| Toslink/optical cable recommendations Hey there Infection - check Amazon at the link I provided above. Scroll down, to "Frequently Bought Together". They do show a Unique 3' Glass Toslink cable for $25 shipped and it looks to be in stock. | |
| Toslink/optical cable recommendations Hi Mesch...a price of only $27 should definitely allow some experimentation to compare sound quality. Plus, it's through Amazon so returns are pretty painless. A 2" bend radius seems pretty tight to me, way more stress than I've put on mine (I t... | |
| Toslink/optical cable recommendations 3rds on the Unique glass Toslink. Learned about it on A'gon a couple years ago in another thread. Also available from Amazon. $27 (includes $6 shipping) for a 6 foot length.http://www.amazon.com/Toslink-Glass-Digital-Audio-Highest/dp/B0017YUN3C/... | |
| Which components are "stupid good"? Very surprised by the performance of a pair of Silverline Prelude Pluses. Bought new for under $2K. Wasn't expecting them to sound as good as they do. I think they deliver performance comparable to speakers 2-3x their price. If not "stupid g... | |
| Going to rip 2000 cds. Which software? Sorry - late arriving thought...jzz - one possibly relevant factor might be that I'm using a USB 3.0 connection between MBA and WD hard drives. Not 100% certain that affects the speed of import but it seems like it might since my library is on an... | |
| Going to rip 2000 cds. Which software? Hello jzzmusician. Gosh, have to say I'm very surprised to hear 15 minutes to rip a CD. That has not been my experience using the latest version of iTunes (v12.3.2.35) or even previous versions. Recent CDs I imported to my iTunes library took a... | |
| Going to rip 2000 cds. Which software? Bob - I'm a contemporary age-wise. The way I got unconfused about setting up a digital library was to just jump in and try it. I tend to take a pretty basic and pragmatic approach to most things audio - which is to say, I don't obsess about audi... | |
| Artists' lps that don't get the respect deserved Just recently listening to the James Gang's first album, "Yer' Album". Hopefully, most will know the James Gang was Joe Walsh's first major, commercially successful group. Some of the banter between tracks is a little dated/corny but the music s... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Otis Taylor - Otis Taylor Collection | |
| Do you think audiophiles are the most gullible hobbyists :-) | |
| Do you think audiophiles are the most gullible hobbyists Ivan - I thought ebm's remark was directed at the OP. In any case, nothing to apologize for in your post (speaking for myself). | |
| Silverline Speaker Opinion Hey Wolf - your impeccable taste duly noted. Thanks for info on the RELs. | |
| Silverline Speaker Opinion Gary,Wolf - I had definitely read Wolf's posts about his experience with the Prelude speaker. I haven't tried Vibrapods under mine but do have them elevated about 4" (on a wood plinth + the height of Alan's spikes). Found elevation to be good wi... | |
| Silverline Speaker Opinion Hey there Gary, no problem. I have the Pluses set up about 36" from the wall behind them; that's 3 feet from the wall behind them to their back panel. They are both at least 4 feet from sidewalls. If you look at my system page, they are positio... |
