| Whats the best HDMI cable? The Transparent Audio Hi Performance HDMI cable made a marked improvement to the picture quality. Colors pop better, clarity improved....even my wife liked it...$265. On a second TV we have a B&W sound bar...the sound and picture improved here... | |
| Rockport Avior or Magico S5 Hevac1, hope all is well, it's been awhile. I would never say the Rockports are dark. They do present things in what I'd call a very natural way...incredible detail and this draws you in with a wetness/density to each note I find incredibly life l... | |
| transparent cables That calibration...as you move higher up...is what really makes these cables special...I know it's a pain to send back...sonically however no regrets | |
| transparent cables Hi,Another Transparent lover here. I think you'll hear a difference between Ref and Ref XL. Little lower noise floor, better bass, better resolution. But I'd agree with JAfant's point in the end...on Transparent 2 levels up or more are really spec... | |
| Ayre MX-R Twenty upgrade Congrats. My dealers MXR's are in for a upgrade. I'll get to hear them before I send mine in...sounds like it's a very cool thing ! | |
| Fozgometer I tried one recently...gave a funny reading and the cartridge did not look right (really tilted) I went back to what looked right and fine tuned by ear from there...Not sure if it was user error...but just not that hard to use... | |

Then down the road a preamp.I do like a preamp vs digital volume ... | |
| Esoteric CD Players - Standby mode? Hi Bill,I used to own a Esoteric DV50S. I left it on all the time...except maybe when leaving for vacation or a biz trip. I found it sounded best after being on for 48 hours or so...I have the same experience with my dCS set up I own today... | |
| Does the Transport make a significant difference Significantly, but at a cost. A dedicated transport from a quality manafacturer should improve the sound. But so will better digital cables, power cords, a better dac...better software etc etc. | |
| Single ended RCA preamp short list Top...you'd have to consider the Robert koda K10 as a top. It does has one balanced in and out, however the single balanced input and out are accomplished via transformers. Nagra, lamm and Conrad Johnson are 3 more... | |
