| CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality Bob Stuart (May, 2017):"MQA provides the opportunity to deliver the exact sound heard from the real master without actually putting the crown jewels out there to be stolen."Protecting the "crown jewels" (maintaining control) was the whole pitch to... | |
| EAD DSP7000 owners Need your opinions. 13yr old thread...Yes switch out 6db of attenuation on the dsp7000 mkIII (at least I did), otherwise non-hdcd’s have much lower output -the downside. Easy enough with the dip switch, other dacs you have to use a jumper wire on the pmd100 chip pins... | |
| Meridian 508.24...sound compared to newer players “Does anyone have experience with replacing the belt to share with me?”Remove the bottom screws (all torx) on each side (6); remove the screws on the rear sides (4); and remove the rear top plastic cover (push in 3 clips) it will pop off, this wil... | |
| Are members not leaving feedback anymore? I’am just venting too *sigh*...and I understand I have enough feedback as I’ve been on Agon a long time, and not receiving one here or there is not a big deal. But it’s the principle, and seems more rampant now more than ever. Plus I like to see ... | |

| sound difference MIT ORACLE AC1 vs ELROD vs PURIST If you could hear a audible difference between the cables you must be Superman. | |
| 2-channel? Change the speakers for sound improvement or your source equipment, switching the pre-amp will yield subtle improvements if any. | |
| Solid state warm up? SS warm up? Tubes yes, SS maybe 15min tops. Your not going to get a dramatic improvement from a warm up. It's probably your setup and the listening room. | |

| BEST S- VIDEO CABLE ??? I've used Monster Video 3 (in the 90's was their top of the line), Tributaries premium Silver, and Nordost Optix Super S-Video. I believe Nordost Optix Super S (MSRP $250) is the best and if you do research you will find only rave reviews regardin... |
