| You know when you are dealing with a BS company.... So if a company makes 4 levels of the same product, even if they don't explicitly state it, they are inferring that there is an improvement in sonics at each higher level. Who knows if if is 5, 7.5, 10 or 15%. I don't take the claim of an 15% im... | |
| Analyzing DACs Listening to music is a subjective experience. Measurements of meaning should significantly correlate with the subjective experience or at least some component of it. This, for me, is where the measurement argument runs out of steam. Measurements ... | |
| The Forgotten Spica and Bolivar speakers. Back in the day I had both. Bolivar I believe was a budget or poor man's JBL offshoot. | |
| A Skeptics Digital Upgrade Journey Heck of a journey. Glad u took it. | |
| Puritan PSM156 I have one in my reference system. It is a stellar performer IMO. The only component not plugged into it is my Coda #16 amp. Highly recommended. | |
| Worth upgrading my cables? Zavfino cables and Grover Huffman cables are both superb performers. | |
| Anyone dislike Ohm Walsh speakers? Cheap crossovers were previously mentioned by @ oldhyvec, I think. This seems to be a common problem. In my Magnepan 1.7s, the crossovers were cheap junk. Asi Teknology rebuilt them and moved them into an external box. Strikingly positive sonic im... | |

| Help. System sounds thin and bright or harsh I had a similar problem in my reference system. I had a gain mismatch between my amp and preamp. I had to turn the gain way down on my Supratek preamp feeding my Coda 16 amp. Viola, problem solved. | |
| Solid core OFC vs stranded OCC copper I take back my statement about no experience with OCC speaker cables as I have Zavfino speaker cables, not the top of their line, in my exercise room system. I love them. | |
| Solid core OFC vs stranded OCC copper I use and prefer OCC copper in my interconnects. I have less experience and therefore opinion about speaker cables. | |
| Solid core OFC vs stranded OCC copper I personally prefer to sonic signature of solid core OCC copper. | |
| What's been your experience with New Chinese 6SN7 tube options? Running Linlai 6SN7 tubes in my Supratek preamp. This tube runs circles around the stock tube. Also put this tube in my Black Ice hybrid preamp. The Linlai is a stellar tube. | |
| Class D with high efficiency speakers I ran the LSA Voyager GAN class D amp into Spatial X3 high efficiency speakers. This pairing sounded great. The top end extension may be a tad better than the superb Coda#16 class A amp that replaced it. However, the midbass and low end was not... | |
| CHORD Hugo TT2 vs TEAC NT-505 + TEAC CG-10M Master Clock @Gianluca I have a highly resolving system so I just hooked it up and let my ears and brain make the determination. |
