| DAC That Punches Above Its Price Point Have noted some, upgrading to the Gustard A22. It uses 2 AK4499 chips.Upgraded from Topping D90, LKS MH-DA004. | |
| McIntosh fuse changeout to make better sound That's never affect...And many have noticed the difference they have made to their systems.My lying ears tell me so.And damn, it sounds good! | |
| why do so many discussions turn contentious? @GeorgewhyfiI am trying to be yours.I didn't ask for it, don't need it, don't want it. | |
| why do so many discussions turn contentious? @georgehifiIt's one thing to stick up to get the honest truth against some of the "snake oil" products here and to warn against them, but to start just slinging s**t at each other for no reasonThat's the pot calling the kettle...What you refer to ... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope @tomic601 No photos to post at present.Amp away getting recapped.Speakers in a cupboard, due to a 1 year old's frequent visits.Certainly nothing exorbitant. Although my wife disagrees a little.Best purchase in the last three years were the ATC SCM... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope Hoping there are enough in agreement that cables make a difference to sound. I have no need to argue with those that disagree. My system improvements will be of no interest to them, and I have no interest in their narrow mindedness.After much thou... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope I have bought many tweaks over the last three years.Some have made noticeable improvements to my music, and some have not.When posting here, I was lambasted by many - George deserving a slap for his vitriol (sorry George for using big words).Best ... | |
| OK, so I have to ask. Is this real, or is this a joke? rushfan71Since we're on the subject, can anyone offer their experience with Mad Scientists Audio Graphene contact enhancer.I have some of Bob's cables. Mad Scientist Nitro power cables, upgraded to Mad Scientist Nitro Nano power cables, and Black ... | |
| New cables - To judge now or after burn in period? I used to sell QED.Very bright speaker cable.Used it on my system.Had to change to Merlin Scorpion speaker cable paired with my Plinius pre/power amp as it became unlistenable on some tracks. | |
| New cables - To judge now or after burn in period? I didn't like my Audience AU24SX interconnects when they first arrived.The sound was very brittle. Opened up over 250 hours.Now, one of my best purchases.Saving up for speaker cables... | |
| Isolation Feet Upgrade My thinking is that dampening implies something else but I understand your point.It's damping. A different word, therefore different meaning.Either way, I'm still sold on the improvement they made. | |
| McIntosh fuse changeout to make better sound Reading this to get some idea if fuses make a difference?An idea to ignore George and his ilk.He doesn't believe it does (nor do they).And will say it 100 times.I've tried a few iterations of fuses.All to good effect. | |
| Isolation Feet Upgrade jerry, what do you mean by dampening?My understanding of damping, is a reduction in vibration.From what I understand, the Black Ravioli have a damping effect, especially in respect to the minute vibrations caused by electronic equipment. | |
| Isolation Feet Upgrade Jerry, the Black Ravioli look similar to the Herbie’s Tenderfeet but assuming there’s a difference in sound.A difference in price too.Black Ravioli's effect is one of damping as well as isolation.My notes at the time (August 2019)"Put the Black Ra... | |
| Isolation Feet Upgrade I went from sorbothane, to vibropods.Then Black Rivioli Pads.Finally Black Ravioli Big Pads on amp, and DAC.I recommend them. |
