| What makes a good equipment rack? I just set up a brand new Sound Anchors 200 pound 5 shelf unit. I love this thing! Solid as a rock and I love the way it allows air to circulate all around my gear! It sounds terrific to boot! I still use my Iso Acoustics footers under all my gear... | |
| Moving cables around killed dynamics for days anyone else experience this? Some cables absolutely don’t like to be moved around and need a little time to settle back into a system. @geoffkait is right on this based on my experience. This is especially true of power cables. | |
| Difference in sound between copper and silver digital cables? My mom used to tell me you just can’t help some people. Seems she was spot on. Still a great place this Agon! What can one possibly do after spending years and thousands of hours building, testing, listening then building again with various condu... | |
| Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil Yes please check them out. Bypass with the Vcap CuTF. My favorite cap is still the Duelund CAST tinned copper foil. However, they are just crazy expensive for general use. | |
| Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil Amen! Bypass with CuTF .01uf from Vcap and try to contain yourself after some 60 hours. | |
| Difference in sound between copper and silver digital cables? I have built and sold USB cables for years trying all manner of conductors. Easy to hear the sonic character of pure silver vs. pure copper conductors in identical designs. One can also easily hear synthetic vs natural conductor coverings. My cust... | |
| Difference in sound between copper and silver digital cables? Yes you are right Doug! Always outlier experiences and who knows why? System? Ears? Break in? Bad pizza? | |
| Difference in sound between copper and silver digital cables? Your system’s current sound and what you want more or less of determines the type of cable you should buy. Yes cables can be used like seasoning in the hands of a chef. You’re a sound chef. While design, solid vs. stranded, cotton vs Teflon and on... | |
| Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions? T-ramey. I have owned all 3 versions of the TRL Dude. In addition, with the help of Paul the designer, I built a super Dude tricked out with all the best parts. Recently, I build my own version of the Dude with some differences, but much more in c... | |
| Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions? Bill I have to think the Coincident Statement Pre with the Coincident Frank amps would be heaven! I should also add the build quality of the Coincident gear is high. The point to point wiring is laid out superbly on both the amps and preamp. Why... | |
| Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions? I had a very fun time comparing two first class preamps. My modified Truth preamp vs Coincident Statement preamp. Both sound fantastic! I listened to both over some 10 hours. Here are the details of each unit. Coincident Statement Line-stage: Upgr... | |
| A method to more quickly extract the benefits from a Perfect Path Mat, Alpha Card or Gate Yes I say! | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? The Pagoda is not as good sounding as the Orchid to some ears. It is subjective for sure. Many think the Orchid is the gem of the MHDT Dac line. The upgrades I have done on the Orchid certainly increase the sound quality by at least 25-30%. The... | |
| Streamers with best apps? Roon is the best. I happen to use it with my Innuos unit. | |
| Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil Yes, do bypass with the CuTF Vcaps! Chris of Vcap shared with me this gem. The result is very good. .01 uf. |
