| V-Cap Odam or Miflix output caps In preamp If you want more perceived resolution, a little forward and an emphasis in the upper mids and highs, then the Mundorf s/o/g supreme in oil cap is your answer. This is the easy best part for that particular result. I like the Jupiters and Duelunds ... | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? Best to ask Atmasphere owners about their experience. Right? As a past owner it is easy for me to say yes power cords made a nice improvement. Not only on Atmasphere gear, but on most all gear I have owned. Power cords are the most important cab... | |

| Innuous Pulse vs Pulsar Interesting. The Pulsar was better than the Phoenix and Zenith 3 combo to my ears and in my system. So many variables in preference outcomes! | |
| Duelund cap break in time Were all of the parts installed at the same time? Please let us know. All the parts you chose do not have that type of sound signature after minimal burn in - 48 hours. One exception are the AN caps. If they are the copper foil ones they can be a ... | |
| Price Isn't Always Indicitive of Quality or Performance How does one even obtain the data on a state’s markup? I don’t think this is a data point that can be obtained. If so, I would not trust the data as it is impossible to know its accuracy. Honest question. | |
| One box solution The Lyngdorf 3400 is great sounding in terms of an integrated. It is not heavy which is also a plus for you. Also, it consumes very little power and hardly even gets warm! The room correction feature also does wonders in helping remove room challe... | |
| Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype) As a person with chronic lower back pain I agree 100%! | |
| Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype) @grislybutter Sort out the tariff and trade issues mentioned here. Feel all will be good in the not too distant future. Time will tell, but this not a permanent situation and only part of ongoing negotiations. I hope you can make your amp purchase... | |
| Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype) In my opinion we will look back and see all is good. Relatively short period of time needed to sort this out for the good of us all. | |
| Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype) Ha! Well I still buy and sell and others will. Just doing it far less. It is a matter of degree. We all agree the number of Aphiles is small. If we are buying 50% less often, then….. We older folks still need to unload extra gear while we slow do... | |
| Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype) I don’t think uncertainty is as big of a factor as some suggest. The audiophile population is aging and passing on. Part of aging is losing the desire to regularly buy and sell heavy and expensive gear. I am now 63 and am not as interested in goin... | |
| Is there any such thing as a bad sounding DAC these days? I agree there is probably no “bad” dac for audio enthusiasts in general. | |
| Is there any such thing as a bad sounding DAC these days? @lanx0003 my point seems to have been lost on you. The ASR review has nothing to do with my point. ASR reviews of Benchmark and Topping dacs are stellar, but they sound bad to my ears and in my system. This supports my point all the more. I am t... | |
| Is there any such thing as a bad sounding DAC these days? Most likely the OP’s question misses the more important question and reality for us Audiophiles. Couple of things to consider. First, a dac cannot play music in your home all by itself as it is part of a complete audio system. Second, what sounds ... |
