| Jays Audio yt Channel takes on AB testing of cables. Wire burn-in/settling is another myth! Since wire has been in use since the telegraph days (1830's) such a phenomenon would have been noted and tests/measurements devised. | |
| Jays Audio yt Channel takes on AB testing of cables. Jay stated at the end that the two cables sound different despite the testers being unable to tell them apart. So much for being willing to accept the results! | |
| Jays Audio yt Channel takes on AB testing of cables. My mistake! Not the MIT's but the Gryphon Vanta speaker cables. The two testers couldn't tell the two cables apart! Then Jay steps in and says the testers liked the cheap cable better because it was "warmer". Both testers thought the Gryphon cab... | |
| Fo Audio Research Ref 10 owners, Best Amp? There is no such thing as preamp/amp synergy! That is another myth based upon subjective opinions. | |
| Best streamer, don't want Roon, don't want a screen, A DAC is OK but not necessary WiiM Pro $200. Why pay more? Lot of high rollers here touting four-figure streamers! Go to Audio Science Review and read the review. | |
| Battle of the Older DAC Go to Audio Science Review and read the test reports on all the DAC's. Measurements don't lie! Subjective opinions are just that - opinions - and worth little! | |
| YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics. There will always be a millionaire class that will buy five and six-figure HiFi. Same as the market for Bentley and Ferrari. | |
| Anyone remember the days before bells and whistles! That looks like one of my Quads! | |
| critique my setup -- weak link? best way to improve? Your interconnects and speaker wire/connectors are fine! Spending more is a waste of money. You may consider a streamer/DAC like the BlueNode and a Tidal/Qobuz subscription. | |
| TEAC PE-505 Phonostage demagnetization function??? Another gimmick to obsess over! | |
| Next step up on the streaming food chain? Dimensionality and roundness are not quantifiable properties. Figments of the OP's imagination! | |
| Check This Out! Ah, the patina of oxidized aluminum! | |
| Check This Out! Even paying four-figures for a DAC these days is not necessary. There are excellent DAC's available for three-figures: SMSL, Topping ... more! | |
| Check This Out! Almost $13K is an absurd price! Add up the parts cost and I doubt they cost even 25% of the price. DAC's are the equivalent of sound cards. Those can be built for less than $100. Charging five-figures for a DAC is legal robbery! | |
| RIP SRV It could have been Eric Clapton on that helicopter! |
