| Denafrips Pontus II vs Venus II @stevebohnii I want to stay humble and precise, so I just did the old Hermes bypass test... again. I listened to the album "Harp Favorites" by Floraleda Sacchi on Qobuz to test the difference. I find harp recordings to be one of the best ways to... | |
| Denafrips Pontus II vs Venus II @stevebohnii That cable's specs look excellent, and it's in a significantly higher price bracket compared to my Kimber I2S. I've been on a tear lately with system upgrades, including an Acoustic Zen Absolute 110ohm AES/EBU into the Hermes, but ... | |

| Review: The Audiogon Discussion Forum itself 😉 I miss MC @fertguy Same here, I enjoyed his snark and absence of BS in the face of adversity | |
| Review: The Audiogon Discussion Forum itself 😉 So all of it is something you don't want. Got it | |
| Review: The Audiogon Discussion Forum itself 😉 @juanmanuelfangioii I made about 10 different points and described each of them in detail. What's your point? | |
| Review: The Audiogon Discussion Forum itself 😉 I think you are right when considering my points #4 and #6, and also that it’s a simplistic conclusion and a restrictive viewpoint of what’s possible. There’s endless numbers of businesses that lean on or rely on Twitter communications for a larg... |
