| CD TRANSPORT THAT MAKES AN AUDIBLE DIFFERENCE Using Marantz SA-8004 into MHDT Orchid. I am sure it could go somewhere, but might take other upgrades too. | |
| Mogami 2549 (Standard) vs 2534 (Quad) etc Keep coming back to my DH Labs Air Matrix. Silver coated copper interconnects. | |
| Streaming Spotify vs Tidal Like Qobuz for sound. Tidal seems to be deep on selection though. | |
| Most underrated female recording artists.. Agree on the Joni and Natalie. Wonderful. | |
| Demagnetize CDs Tried the demag regime but went back to a 3 blade design. For real. In more ways than one. But you gotta experiment. | |
| Are Expensive Balanced Interconnects Necessary? I would certainly think it is system dependent. Based on my limited experience. | |
| OMG. What now? Yes, me too. That's why so fun. | |
| Bill -- I missed out on our MHDT Orchid upgrade. I think I am in love with my Orchid. | |
| What Is Most Important? You will know. Tubes. Tears. Life. Enjoy. All is well! Music. | |
| Are some streaming players more reliable than others? I do not have drop outs. My Blue Sound Node 2 sounds a touch better than my Marantz SA8004 CD player. I have had drop outs in the past but very, very limited. | |
| Power Cord for DAC I personally like the "slightly" dark aspect. Enjoy. | |
| What's the heaviest speaker you've ever owned? What's the tallest? Paradigm Studio 20 vs Elac 2.0 B6 V2. Elac are light. Elac are great for dollars, but Paradigm was and is much smoother and refined, And much heavier build. Had Paradigm towers, Studio 60. Way too heavy to move. But nearly stellar. | |
| Best place to insert a new higher end cable in my system? I like the early in the chain thought, makes huge sense, and likely true. Also agree to let it settle, very true. Also system dependent. Too much fun. Audioquest, great mid cable and maybe above? Of course get some basics first, which for me is 8... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Parachutes. Cold Play. Ok. | |
| Denafrips Ares II vs MHDT Orchid Love my Orchid. |
