| Long interconnect or speaker cable @carlsbad2 +1 | |
| Modifying Crossovers @carlsbad2 - I've been using these crossovers in my dipole planar-magnetic line arrays since November. They took a few months to fully break in, but are now sounding fabulous. | |
| Modifying Crossovers @carlsbad2 - your crossovers look very nice - much neater than mine. I was pretty tight on space with the caps I ended up using. | |
| Neotech NEI-3001 Mk III balanced interconnect cable @topside3 - the sound was a little dull and sounded a bit smeared (lacked detail) for my taste. i tried the Iconoclast speaker cable as well but didn’t feel it was an improvement over the DIY cables I was using at the time. I ended up with Kim... | |
| Modifying Crossovers I'm a big believer in the effect of using quality components in the crossover. I've done a modest amount of experimentation and have found that high quality parts can make a significant effect on tonal richness, dynamics, microdetails, and soundst... | |
| Neotech NEI-3001 Mk III balanced interconnect cable @topside3 - I did, but wasn't that happy with it. I liked the DH Labs Pro Studio better for my system. I ended up getting a set of Iconoclast 4x4 UP-OCC XLR cables which I really like. These are quite a bit more expensive than the other cables I ... | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil Less is More, is it a quality dac ? I own an Yggdrasil A2 (before the latest Less is More variant). Also owned a Terminator which I sold for a Terminator Plus. I think the Yggy is a decent DAC for the money, but I've had a friend's Gumby MB over to compare and thought that DAC offer... | |
| Tubulus Argentus I2s @dcpillai - I haven't tried any other i2s cables. I've been very happy with the sound from my Terminator Plus and haven't had any desire to try any other cables. | |
| Stupid Asking Prices- Why Don't Sellers Read Audiogon The Blue Book First? If you don't want to pay for Audiogon's Blue Book, it's easy to use hifishark.com to look up completed listings to see what products sold for. | |
| Anyone regretting Pontus 2 firmware upgrade Others have reported that this update is reversible and at least one person reported that they went back to the old firmware successfully. Edit - I should note that going back will require another firmware update similar to this update so will... | |
| Denafrips Pontus II Clicks Or Static? @whipsaw - I am making some assumptions here on the exact implementation of Denafrips' designs, since they have never really published a detailed description. As I understand it, the input data is clocked into the FIFO using the source device's c... | |
| Thanks to Paul McGowan @optimize Paul may not be a brilliant electronics engineer, but he has been able to attract strong talent and build a successful high-end audio company with some longevity. There are very few independent US hifi companies that have been as success... | |
| Denafrips Pontus II Clicks Or Static? @whipsaw - You can call it a hardware problem if you want, but IMO, it was (is) a rational approach to solving the problem of jitter reduction of source-clocked digital data. I'm sorry you experienced problems with your DAC. With their implementa... | |
| PS Audio Power Plant P3 to P12 @tunefuldude - I played with the Multiwave a bit today. Multiwave may be a slight improvement over Sine - it's certainly no worse - but it's pretty subtle in my system. I am not using the P12 for my amps though. I would imagine it would have more ... | |
| Law Of Diminishing Returns? My opinion - you need to spend $8K-$10K retail (maybe half that with smart used purchases) to get a decent sounding system. Twice that can achieve an excellent sounding system in a decent room, but still with some compromises. I wouldn't go so ... |
