| Use a car woofer for home audio cabinet.. any downside? In a home audio setup they sound awfull, give it a miss. | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses I think they are a great idea as to my ears they make a big difference but I feel you have to do the whole system to get the benefits. I use SR blue and they have made quite a difference to my system but I am waiting for the shock horror of the n... | |
| DAC recommendations for CDs in 2-channel system @mattmiller - I wondered about this. What about all the comments on Audiogon from folks saying "no" to Sabre DACs? I thought about Sabre chips before I took the plunge but finaly got myself the Oppo Sonica DAC and have never looked back.I use it... | |
| Best redbook-only CD Player under $10k - Bryston BCD3, Resolution Audio Cantata 3.0, .... I would definitely add the Gryphon Mikado to that list. 4 AKM Dac chips, 32 / 192 upsampling and a beautiful organic sound that if listened to blind you would swear you were not listening to digital. It is now unfortunately discontinued and has be... | |
| DIY POWER CABLES Neotech NEP-3001 III is what I used to make 2 cables up for myself and I also used Furutech Gold plated plugs and SR Blue fuses. I was so surprised at the quality that I can't tell the difference between them and my JPS Kaptovators that I also... | |
| Hearing loss , speakers or headphones ? Yes forgot to say in my post they need a really good head amp as they are true 3oo ohm guzzlers. I use their HDVD 800 headamp and they really shine with that and they sound much better with a balanced cable also. | |
| Hearing loss , speakers or headphones ? +1 on the Sennheisers, they are what I use and they sound great to my 65 year old ears. I only listen to classical music so I cannot comment on jazz but they certainly do have a lot of sparkle on what I listen to. | |
| Cell Phones & Tube Amps I think you have just answered your own question. | |
| Computer PS Upgrade (Fuse/IEC/Teflon Cap) Hi Avila I have a very expensive 1 Kw power supply for my pc and the clamps still make a difference. Do remember a computer is an inherentlynoisy device and the fans are contributing to that noise. I have water cooling on my machine but there is s... | |
| You cable haters please DO this. Well done you !! I think we should all do this as you say to remind us how cables really are so important to our systems. But I am sure though that these people would only find something else to moan about. | |
| Do i belong here Hi there and welcome to the forum, most people here are very knowledgeable and great for hints an tips. I'm also in the Uk ( sunny Scotland ) so an extra big welcome. You asked about a DAC and the one I use for streaming and mastering CDs with is ... | |
| Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality? Wow I'm having a right laugh here, nothing gets peoples backs up like cables and after market fuses. My thoughts if it rocks your boat and you can afford it do it because we are not going to be here for a particularly long time. Oh and I believe i... | |
| Wolf Audio music servers Please forgive me if this post becomes long but people do not seem to realise that "a computer is a computer is a computer" should be swept out with the trash as it has no relevance now in the 21st Century.There is a whole diversity in computers t... | |
| Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK? You know the original question is so banal that it doesn't even deserve to be answered. Go back under your bridge please. | |
| Laufer Teknik Memory Player 64 - I've Finally Found What I've Been Looking For! I have had all of the Laufer Technik software on my PC and have discovered startling differences in the music that come through my computer. You can start off with a little or a lot and it makes a difference from the very start. I had the pleasure... |
