| Who is using I2S cables? I noticed a significant difference in my system switching from using an AES connection (DH Labs D110) to an I2s connection, initially using a basic $12 HDMI cable from Amazon. Switching from this cable to the Tubulus Argentus cable was an improvem... | |
| Who is using I2S cables? The i2s connection used between boxes is a buffered version of the internal i2s signals. As @lalitk mentioned, there is no standard for the pinout, so you need to make sure the two devices you are connecting use the same conventions. Some DAC manu... | |
| How many of you are digital only systems? In the late 80's, early 90's I had a pretty high-end analog rig with a Goldmund Studio turntable with Goldmund T3F arm, Koetsu cartridge, AR SP10 preamp. In 92, I made a move across the country and had little kids, so decided to simplify my system... | |

But, ... | |
| New Speakers $10K -$20K I second @rocray. The Salk speakers are available in beautiful custom wood finishes and have excellent sound. Something like the Exotica 3 would fit your budget and requirements. | |
| Anybody gone from ethernet to optical for connection to a streamer? I assume you are talking about optical ethernet. I'm in the same boat. I've recently purchased a Sonore OpticalRendu, but am waiting on a power supply to be able to hook it u. | |
| Denafrips Venus 1 vs Venus 2 I think the main differences are (but it's worth checking with Alvin):Improved temperature controlled crystal oscillator. Clock outputs to work with Denafrips Digital-to-Digital converters.Power supply improvements using higher quality filter caps... | |

| Looking for preamp which is good at BOTH single-ended AND balanced output Steve Guttenberg recently reviewed a Backert preamp that looks interesting. https://youtu.be/lvMOm-le3Lg | |
| Do I NEVER shut it off…? Each on of my amps running all year costs less than their idle Prius charger hanging on the wall costs them for one month.An idle Prius charger draws less than two Watts. Your box fan uses a lot more power than that, let alone any amp that needs t... | |
| Time for new Categories-This is directed to you Audiogon One added feature I would useful is who made the last post on a thread shown in the thread list near the time off the last post. | |
| Time for new Categories-This is directed to you Audiogon I think the categories that Audiogon currently has seem just about right. Too few, and you end up skipping over too many threads you aren't interested in and missing ones you might have enjoyed reading or contributing to. Too many and you waste a ... | |
