| McIntosh Restorer...French dude in NY or NJ? Touche! | |
| Fidelity Research FR64S Interconnect Replacement BTW, I own two FR arms - a 29 and a 54. I use the bog-standard DIN cables marked "FR" that came with them. | |
| Fidelity Research FR64S Interconnect Replacement Just get a pair of RCA male-to-male connectors (or female-to-male). Add your favorite meter or less pair of RCA cables. Don't waste money on a rewire job - ain't worth it! | |
| Project CD Box RS2T and reclocker Waste of money! Present day DAC’s have asynchronous input receivers that handle the timing of incoming data. You’d have to go way back to find a DAC that needed a reclocker! | |
| Why is Audiogon insisting on a verified physical address in order to post? Verification will keep the bad actors and bots away. Previously they have been getting onto this forum - "Buy counterfeit money online" ... | |
| Why is Audiogon insisting on a verified physical address in order to post? Posting on Audiogon - more fun than a barrel of monkeys! | |
| Why is Audiogon insisting on a verified physical address in order to post? Yep, seems to be working again! | |
| Why is Audiogon insisting on a verified physical address in order to post? @dekay : I have been trying to get back on here for several days. I contacted support a few times. No response. So I went back to the verification page and added my street address. Well that worked! Five minutes ago I added that cynical post above... | |

| Chord Qutest——>No difference The component with the higher output voltage will always sound better. That's a quirk of human hearing. | |
| Chord Qutest——>No difference If you want a DAC with a sonic signature get one with a tube output stage, like a Lampizator. Then you can tube roll to your heart's content! | |
| Chord Qutest——>No difference No! Practically all of today's DAC's have achieved such low levels of noise and distortion that they are virtually indistinguishable! That's regardless of price! Let the rock throwing by the golden ear crowd begin! | |
| Recommendation Request for Tube Power Amplifier A nicely restored pair of Dynaco MkIII's (60wpc) will work well with those Revel's. Plus the Dyna output trannies are better quality than most of today's iron. I have the Paoli-modded pair. That Paragon E is a keeper! | |
| Do hi-end DACs offer true value or diminishing return... @mahgister +1! A DAC is essentially a sound card. That’s all! Put it in a fancy machined-from-a-solid-billet case and you can charge $50K for the same parts as the $100 KTB DAC. Nobody will be able to tell the difference from, say, the real expens... | |
| Upgrade thoughts I’d be leery of buying any Boulder amps. Comparable sonic quality can be had today for way less. I’d rather buy a pair of the newest Hypex Ncore 500’s for around a few grand than spend 10X that for Boulder! The future of audio is with the newest ... |
