| DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000 A good audio friend of mine had the new Sonnet Digital Audio Morpheus and well as the latest Denafrips Terminator with DSP board in his home. He also owned the Mojo Mystique 3. He felt both dacs were rather electronic sounding compared to the Mojo... | |
| DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000 Actually Ben does not change his dacs nearly as much as most of the industry. The good news is his Evo is easily upgraded and modular in terms of upgrading to any future improvements Ben may offer. This is a big departure from his past builds. I u... | |
| DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000 Yes the Mojo Mystique Evo is the top of list. This dac simply has to be heard to be believed. Won’t find a more natural and right sounding dac for any amount of money. Ben offers a trial period so give it a listen. I suggest adding the Lundhal AM... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Wow. The more I listen, the more impressed I am. More at ease, better sense of control, larger stage, better focus, greater bottom end solidity. | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling I replaced the 5 runs of VH Audio 18 gauge on the live conductor for the power cord used on my conditioner. I replaced with two runs of the Neotech 12 gauge solid core copper in Teflon. I left the Teflon in place. Yes indeed this was a significant... | |
| Silver/copper alloy cables Mundorf and Neotech make copper/silver alloys with the addition of a small amount of gold. The Neotech copper/silver/gold is the better sounding option. | |
| Honest Amp Reviews: Impossible? Class D junk? Many music lovers are enjoying class D amplifiers. Welcome to the future. | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Nice update and info Steve! Thank you. | |
| Does it matter the wire gauge used in interconnects? Two VH Audio 18 gauge solid core sounds best. Many of us who have built these know first hand. Better than one 18 gauge on its own. Nicely extended top end. TFA on the negative for single ended or ground/pin 1 for XLR. This recipe just works. The ... | |
| Does it matter the wire gauge used in interconnects? I will share here that I have made double helix RCA ICs and SPDIF cables for audio friends that preferred them to cables costing up to $7800. Not joking here. It really happens regularly. | |
| Does it matter the wire gauge used in interconnects? You can build your 10 foot XLR ICs this wavy Ken. First, the double sounds best based on my testing and builds over the years. I have built some 400 sets of ICs over the past 4 years and taken the time to listen to all manner of conductors, gauge,... | |
| Does it matter the wire gauge used in interconnects? Duelund 16 gauge sounds best in ICs within the Duelund family. More full bodied and better fleshed out mids. I have also found wether you use VH Audio Airlok, Neotech etc... the thicker the better up to 16 gauge. Shielding does close in the ... | |
| To Roon or not Yes Roon and Qobuz has me listening to more music, new music, than ever before in my life. I love Roon! | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Wonder if Chris at VH Audio would consider making his solid core Airlock copper in a 12 gauge thickness? That would be the ticket in my estimation. I also think the bare copper will oxidize over time, but how much and to what sonic impact? Not sure. | |
| Fleetwood Sound Company - DeVille Loudspeaker. Yes indeed @tvad. They make some monstrosities to be sure! Seems no Agoners own this speaker. |
