| Parasound vs Coda Parasound vs. Coda is a side ways move at best. You've already said your system sounds great! You just have the itch for a new toy! Your brain is in control wanting that dopamine hit that the experience of a new amp will provide. Stick with what y... | |
| Totem Mani-2 vs Devialet Phantoms Gold Impossible to predict what speaker will give you greater pleasure! Only YOU can decide by listening! | |
| The Best Tweak? It's all just the dopamine rush! | |
| Blue Sound Vault Have you done a level-matched blind test between the transport and the Vault? Remember the component with higher output voltage will always sound better! | |
| Coaxial SPDIF burn in? Yes, because you are a cable believer! Only if you participated in a controlled A/B test where sighted bias was eliminated could you be persuaded otherwise. Anything else is just anecdotal. | |
| using 230Volts Hifi components in the Usa Just buy a 120 to 240 VAC step-up transformer on Amazon. | |
| Xangsane XS-1001Ag silver coax SPDIF cable "Very pure rectangular conductors"! So, just like Transparent uses! Show me the engineering data that proves the shape of a wire conductor improves signal transmission in the audio range of 20hz - 20khz. BTW I did buy a pair of the Transparent RSC... | |
| Audioquest SureGrip 100 BFA/Banana I bought 10 Pomona double banana plugs from an eBay seller. The real thing - and getting harder to find! Superior to the common Ch*nese cr*p. Audioquest bananas - LOL! The race to the bottom! | |

| Xangsane XS-1001Ag silver coax SPDIF cable @thyname : I have been here since 2016. Under my first moniker I had about 4K posts. Then I had to get a new phone and I had to reapply under a new name - jasonbourne52. That had 2863 posts until I needed another phone. For the third time I had to... | |
| Xangsane XS-1001Ag silver coax SPDIF cable I would like to ask the OP how does he know how "pure" this Xangsane silver cable really is? Did he get it tested at a metallurgy lab? Or did he just eyeball it? That "pure" silver wire can easily have 10% copper added and it will look exactly the... | |
| Xangsane XS-1001Ag silver coax SPDIF cable I stated in the first post here - now removed - that the OP did not follow a rigorous test protocol to be really certain that the improvements he claimed to hear were real or imaginary. Obviously I offended him and he had my post removed. | |
| Xangsane XS-1001Ag silver coax SPDIF cable @thyname : someone grounded in Reality has to respond to the wild claims made by the cable believers. Wire does not change sonically whether you freeze it, run a million volts through it or lay it out in the moonlight. To believe otherwise is to d... | |
| Phono Preamp Recs under $200 for My System For a budget phono stage I'd get the Schiit Mani 2 ($150). Michael Fremer - now back reviewing analog gear on TAS - really likes it! | |
| Xangsane XS-1001Ag silver coax SPDIF cable "...pure silver + teflon is going to need some break in time." - might as well lay this cable out in the moonlight for the magic to appear! |
