For Those Who Are Unaware of The Cable Company @krelldog Their pricing is in line with other sellers, at least on cables. They offer discounts on some brands with the Frequent Flyer program. Maybe you have examples. They're in the selling space, not the buying. There are other places for that. | |
For Those Who Are Unaware of The Cable Company I've had problems with their "I'm smarter than you" salespeople. But there's no better cable resource. | |
"Too much gain"? (Cary SLP05 question) @avanti1960 Appreciate your input. I’m running Focal Sopras with 89db sensitivity, so fairly high. Which might have exacerbated the gain issue. It’s actually your posts that go back a few years that got me looking into the Cary. You were very i... | |
"Too much gain"? (Cary SLP05 question) Thanks all for the recent input and glad that many are happy with the Carey. But the gain uncertainty, age of the design, maybe the questionable customer service and odd feedback from the sales manager don't sit well with me. I've decided on a dif... | |
Chinese DAC's Study the reviews on those DACs before pulling the trigger. A lot of the "reviewers" and comments are from folks that may not be at the same level or have the same component needs as what you might run into on this site. There are FB pages with en... | |
PS Audios new PMG series.. @mofimadness @theo Definitely asleep at the wheel, sorry about that. | |
Anyone using Ferrum Wandla DAC? @stuartk FWIW, a importer told me not to bother with the Golden Sound Edition. No clear sonic advantage, he said. The original edition sounds fine to me. The filters are great on this. DACs can be tough. I have a new post up about where I might... | |
PS Audios new PMG series.. @theo Marantz is definitely not the only source for SACD players. Katy Lied is a hybrid and playable on a standard CD player. | |
Spatial Audio Raven Preamp User Experience Thank you Lynn. In the absence of other feedback (I’m surprised), very helpful. I’m not great at using some of the audiophile terminology, so saying "is it good for rock" is my shortcut. I think you’ve answered that. I have no experience with the ... | |
Vinshine X Collaboration with Kinki Studio, TheTai Hang power enhancer There are other sources for this unit outside of China to get around the Chinese tariff. | |
Source for high quality jewel cases Just ordered these. Thanks for the tip. I do a lot of CD buying on Discogs and so many sellers use cheap flimsy cases. You can tell just by the heft when you have a good or older CD case. They used to all be like that. I sometimes buy used empty o... | |
Anyone using Ferrum Wandla DAC? Late post but here you go. I went to a Wandla with the Hypsos power supply from the first version of an Auralic Vega that I had for 7-8 years. I got used to the Vega sound but it lacked in body and the tonality was not quite right. Excellent detai... | |
Natalie Merchant - Leave Your Sleep I remember when she came on Saturday Night Live right after leaving 10KM. Huge reception and celebration. Then she sort of disappeared from the mainstream. | |
Holo May KTE vs Lampizator? @lurch-uk Why would you hijack someone else's post. Bad form. | |
"Too much gain"? (Cary SLP05 question) I have received the message below verbatim from Cary today when inquiring about the upgrade gain, the pots, and any difference between balanced and RCA sound quality. Note an earlier post on this thread said the pots were "cheap Honeywell pots". ... |
