| 20 Year Old Amplifiers compared to 2017 Could not disagree more. Class D amps are indeed on the cutting edge and the future. Even better .... powered dacs. Powered dacs with room correction are another huge development. In the future there will be no such thing as a separate, stand alon... | |
| JAM by Duelund For a large value cap like that I think the best sounding large value cap is the Mundorf EVO Supreme Silver, Gold, Oil. They are expensive, but the best large value cap I have heard. Watch the size of the Jupiter line when the value gets big as ... | |
| JAM by Duelund I personally like Jupiter copper foils as much as Duelund CAST and more than the Duelund RS. The JAM is not as good as RS .... well they are under the RS in the Duelund Line. I would go with 100% Jupiter Copper foils. This is especially true in e... | |
| Review Audioquest Hurricane (part 1) I am also very, very confused. I am not smart enough to be an audiophile anymore is my take away. Only a handful of us are. @geoffkait is one of the handful 🤔 | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I think something at play here is the cabinet. It is only .75 inches thick even on the front baffle. It is NOT the most inert. At db levels of 110 dB they will undoubtably cause all kinds of vibration induced distortion and smearing. That is very,... | |
| ROON help needed Yes I do find that Tidal with Roon brings up the sound quality another notch. The DSP ability in Roon is yet another plus with no negatives I could hear. I use a light handed approach with the EQ with fantastic results. I find listening without DS... | |
| Duelund DCA16GA I am building usb cables with the Duelund 20 ga this week and will report back. Also building a usb cable using Mundorf silver and gold wire. | |
| Lowering the noise floor @randy-11, Spot on about LPS and using a good starquad DC power cable. I made two of these for use on my LPS units and they did indeed improve my overall sound quality. | |
| Added value of separate server? @shadorne Sorry if you don’t have the experience and knowledge needed on this subject, but what I said above is certainly true. Everything matters in this equation....everything. Until you have experimented, tested, and listened to all manner of o... | |
| Added value of separate server? I find the server/player/renderer to be more important than the dac. The true source is usually most important. Amazing what digital can deliver when done right. Often times the weak link is ahead of the dac in computer based audio. | |
| Lowering the noise floor Agreed! | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I did not. I guess I am happy keeping them for now. I am going to pass your mileage marker 😁 | |
| Lowering the noise floor Power power supplies, power supplies, power supplies.....oh my what a difference maker they are when it comes to noise. Wether computer audio, amplifiers, ac from our homes etc ... they are the place to look for obtaining the best possible sound. ... | |
| Former Tekton owners: What have you moved on to? No I don’t care. Just want newbie aphiles to read about how important time and proper system matching to a speaker is. Takes time to get the best out of a speaker. Time and effort. Plopping a speaker in and listening for a few hours will never h... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Oh my. Building a 845amp? |
