| Portable DAC/Headphone Amp Recommendations @overthemoon Thanks! I didn't know that about the Focal Bathy's, It makes sense to do that. | |
| Is more amp power always better...? So the ASR Emitter 1 might be a good option. I own the ASR Emitter 2 Exclusive and they sound great with a pair of Quad 2905’s. Quad 2912’s would be the same. I have to share with you however my experience when I matched the ASR with a pair of Mon... | |
| Does a turntable mat make any difference? Anybody try the somewhat newish turn table mat from Synergistic Research? They’ve also developed a record weight that seems somewhat confusing. They must be the best because they cost way more than any other record mat/weight on the market. | |
| Table,cartridge,phono...where to put most of my money? @missioncoonery I’m paraphrasing but when you claimed that vinyl didn’t live up to your expectations, then I’m wondering just how or why you weren’t happy with the sound of your vinyl rig? Did it sound muted, was it noisy, etc… As far as the Linn ... | |
| Have you seen the new McIntosh poster for $195? I’d love to own a vintage McIntosh neon sign. I’ve seen newer signs available however they’re made using LED lights and what appears to be acrylic glass. | |
| Apple iOS 17.1.2 and Audioquest Dragonfly Cobalt @fuzztone Actually I got it to work. I took a trip to the Apple Store, borrowed a USB to lightening camera adapter and it worked. So now I have to shell out $27.00 for a new adapter and I'll be set! I don't disagree with what you said however, tha... | |
| Need help setting up new turntable I would try different settings to see what sounds best. I mean, you’re not going to blow anything up. Or at least you shouldn’t. | |
| Choosing Inexpensive Headphone Cable and Other Possible Modifications @soix I’m using a pair of Sony closed back headphones that I bought around 1997 for a few hundred dollars. The only way I can tolerate them is with an equalizer and to say they are limiting is an understatement. So anything that my friend (and spe... | |
| Choosing Inexpensive Headphone Cable and Other Possible Modifications Thanks, @larsman for your input. If I could find a Black Dragon cable used, yeah that would be ideal. I’ve also been considering contacting Patrick Cullen as he built me a pair of jumper cables for a pair of monitors I used to own. @mahgister Yes... | |
| My Portable Audio Rig Hey All! I appreciate the input. I’ll just say, I do not want over the ear headphones on while I’m working out. A DAP would be great but the good ones are expensive and I like the convenience of using Qobuz, though I often listen to the same recor... | |
| My Portable Audio Rig @llg98ljk Yeah, wireless earbuds would definitely help simplify matters. I wish Audioquest made a Dragonfly with Bluetooth. And Cardas uses cables for their earbuds because their cables sound really good. I look like a freak with all these things ... | |
| Looking for a Warmer Sounding Phono Cartridge @kevemaher Yes, I can guarantee the Grace is 47K. | |
| Looking for a Warmer Sounding Phono Cartridge You might consider the Grace Asakura One MC. Also, I saw a review about Grado’s highest level cartridge and reviewer said it’s the best sounding cartridge he’s ever heard. I believe it sells for around $30,000.00. I’ll take three! | |
| Any Love for the Grace F10 L Moving Coil Cartridge You might consider the Grace Asakura One MC. Also, I saw a review about Grado’s highest level cartridge and reviewer said it’s the best sounding cartridge he’s ever heard. I believe it sells for around $30,000.00. I’ll take three! | |
| Time of Day for best Sound @tonydennison Yes, the ASR price tag is hard for many folks to justify even if they have the expendable income but believe me when I say that it does not disappoint. A battery powered generator may offer benefits. I’ve never tried one personally b... |
