| Tidal WiFi not as good as cd Tidal sounds slightly better than CDs for the most part on my rig. This is completely system dependent. I have an Innuos Zen 3 server and Sotm Switch and Ethernet cables. Again, the answer to this question is 100% system dependent. Meaning what y... | |
| Speaker Break In...? Or listener “Break In”? Crossover parts need time to break in. Caps and resistors can take up to 300-400 hours to settle in. This is particularly true of the large value paper in oil/wax types that change sonically quite severely. Break in can also be like a roller coast... | |
| I went to THE show and didn't make any friends ... Erik, good post here and interesting topic. Please keep them coming. @bigkidz usually posts interesting and informative stuff and this last one seems out of character based on his history here. | |
| VIBORG power cords The connectors are decent and really a great value for so little money. I have found many of these very inexpensive connectors from China to be of good overall quality. I am not sure the same can be said for the bulk wire/cable. | |
| Duelund DCA16GA Thanks for the update. Your crossover caps can take 300 hours to settle in depending on the type. Large paper in oil/wax types can take up to 500 hours and the road is bumpy! Great you are improving your rig with DIY skills! Great satisfaction an... | |
| Duelund DCA16GA Yep it takes about 100 hours. 12 gauge a tad longer and 16 gauge you are all but there after 75 hours. But they never sound as bad as I read in his statement... never. Especially the ICs made with the 16 gauge. Wonder how they were built? Soldered... | |
| Duelund DCA16GA Only takes 75-100 hours. Sounds like something else is wrong to be frank based on the severity of your outlying comments. | |
| Duelund Silver vs Audio Note Silver capacitor Best I have heard is actually the Duelund tinned copper CAST cap. Liked it more than the Duelund silver in electronics. The finest sounding capacitor I have ever heard. Others have found the same to be true including Jeff Day. Very special cap. | |
| What a sad world we now live in....... Don’t forget all the wonderful notes and artist info on Tidal. Oh yes, and often times the lyrics and photos! Much to engage with! | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ They are not the same at all.....apples and tuna. Jafox, great question! | |
| YBA PRODUCTS Good to hear from you @warrenh. That Bel Canto amp is no slouch! I will check out YBA again. | |
| What a sad world we now live in....... Blind listening tests on my rig proved Tidal sounds as good and sometimes better than my ripped CDs. Innuos Zen III. My ripped CDs sounded as good as my past CD transport/dac combo....PS Audio Perfect Wave Memory Player. Ended up selling off all m... | |
| What a sad world we now live in....... I am an audiophile and have a front license plate that says so 🙂 I only stream. Well 90% stream and 1000 ripped CDs. All the new music I listen to is streamed. In fact I have never listened to this much new music and its all due to streaming! A... | |
| All I need to know about D-Sonic amplifiers Sorry to see the cherry amp’s input impedance is too low to use with many tube preamps. | |
| Most “disappeared” speakers. My $250 used and vintage Spica TC50 monitors speakers. Wonderful in this regard. |
