| Holo Spring DAC Warranty -- transferable? Thanks. I disagree about warranties being overrated, especially for complicated things like a DAC. A friend got the Holo Spring and it had a hum. The company jumped on a replacement within two days. It was perfect service. Same thing happened with... | |
| How acoustic and some simple tweaks can cure audiophile disease for small pocket budget Pearl clutching is not a good luck. | |
| I used to think pricey interconnects were snake oil... I used to think snake oil was pricy interconnects until I saw the light that snake oil is just oil made from snakes. | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? Where’s millercarbon when you need him? I can already picture him riding in on Shadowfax to defeat the dark enemies and doubters of the audiophile fuse. | |
| How acoustic and some simple tweaks can cure audiophile disease for small pocket budget +1 @noromance Unfortunately, you have reacted in a most spectacular and bizarre manner to both my and @hilde45 posts. Very bizarre. All I did was put the OP’s words into ChatGPT and reposted them. Everyone can witness his/her/their reaction a... | |
| How acoustic and some simple tweaks can cure audiophile disease for small pocket budget I have deleted my posts. I will not comment on your posts anymore. It is sad how much it triggers you. I will not comment on any replies to this post. Take a deep breath, because I am now gone. | |
| If the DAC is the same, how different do CD transports sound? @audphile1 don’t take it the wrong way, but I think you are too excited to see the conclusion of that video aligned with what you were hoping to hear. In other words you had a biased opinion going in and now it impairs your ability to keep an o... | |
| If the DAC is the same, how different do CD transports sound? @audphile1 not at all what I was trying to convey. Also, the number of views on the video is not an indication of how accurate the information is. Not sure why you think it’s important. Looks like you’ve formed your opinion and the conclusion o... | |
| If the DAC is the same, how different do CD transports sound? @facten A firsthand assessment in your system would be much better to draw a conclusion from for yourself then [sic] cherry picking the comments in the thread that allow you to confirm the video narrative that you bought into. I didn't "buy ... | |
| If the DAC is the same, how different do CD transports sound? @audphile1 In my opinion, I would not rely on this type of evaluation Thanks for spelling out your thinking. I see your point about longer term listening. On the other hand, this was a test done by someone experienced in speaker design and re... | |
| Immersive Audio and How to Achieve It Da Vinci used to teach his students the skill of "seeing in" to a scene, even if it was a stucco wall -- so they could lose themselves in it and then release their imagination's free play capacities. When I think of the requirements for "immersiv... | |
| If the DAC is the same, how different do CD transports sound? @yage Thanks for watching and commenting thoughtfully. I am curious whether Mr. Lovegrove feels satisfied that a sufficiently high quality of transport (or player used as a transport) was represented in this listening trial. He went to a lot of tr... | |
| If the DAC is the same, how different do CD transports sound? @audphile1 there’s a difference between CD transports. Higher end transports use better quality parts, better power supplies as well as better chassis and dampening. This results in improved sound quality. That was my assumption going in. I t... | |
| If the DAC is the same, how different do CD transports sound? @jasonbourne71 If you watch the video first, you won't need to say "Only a blind listening test to eliminate sighted bias and matched output voltage levels has any validity. Anything else is anecdotal!" | |
| KT-77 vs. KT-66 Thanks to all for weighing in. Good points, and I learned a lot! |
