| Interconnects for MHDT Orchid i would go with a fairly transparent, lively cable, rather than one that smooths... the orchid already does that somewhat... | |
| Do we really know what "Live" music sounds like? @firberger great to know you enjoyed c.p. -- he is one of my faves, tremendous talent, musicality, tone, and very likeable in how he relates to the audience as well | |
| Who's using Harbeth with tubes, what speaker model and how many watts per channel? harbeths imo do best with solid state due to their desire for strong woofer control/damping factor, so tube amp aficianados are well advised to use tube amps that provide that... an extended treble response from the amp benefits the speaker too, ... | |
| What Is So Special About Harbeth? according to harbeth/alan shaw, the xd models are supposed to give a very slight treble lift and midbass lean-out compared to each respective models' prior versions (mon 30, 40, super 5 and compact 7) | |
| Wanting to upgrade my streaming sound quality. imho it is mostly about the dac, but the front end signal feed through the streamer often matters too, especially for higher resolution systems reaching for a very high level of s.q. ... | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer @schw06 excellent post, many good points made good reminder there are many experienced thoughtful members who usually stay silent, turned off by the pointless, garbage posts that seem to dominate the activity here these days... in this case, v... | |
| If you’ve heard an iFi Zen stream, anything better under $1k? i have had a zen stream for a few months like... i use it only wired with ethernet, with add'l lps, and in roon endpoint mode sonically i find it to be really excellent, i think due to the many levels of signal filtering and isolation built in (a... | |
| Suggestions for a streamer only (I have a great DAC) i agree that the ifi zen stream is really a terrific streamer for very little money, esp with an lps powering it - it has a good deal of noise filtering built into both input and output sides of it, which is why it sounds very pure some wifi conn... | |
| Bluesound 2i coaxial output sound quality my 2 cents dac has much greater impact on sq than streamer... as in 80/20 or 85/15 i like blu os - i think (short of paying for roon) it is an excellent, quite stable streaming control software bluesound node 2i or new node, are excellent value... | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer @hilde45 Your promise to be polite but in your invitation is already a veiled insult ("what you think you know"). No, you’ve already proved your ability to be abusive. You can make another video -- calling this "the yellow" site and calling fol... | |
| Modded Orchid MHDT vs. Holo Audio May DAC @hilde45 if you haven't seen this one, it is worth a watch - his is a good, credible reviewer, careful in his approach and what he says | |
| Is the DAC the digital equivalent of a cartridge. analogies are used in life, in education, to help those with no understanding develop one, if sometimes in only a rudimentary way... a basic understanding is better than none at all in this respect, analogies are useful, but if one starts to dive... | |
| Cary Audio SLP-05 First Impression outstandingly nice sounding piece that cary was/is, tubey goodness but sufficiently transparent, not euphonically over the line like many cary units can be sure takes up a lotta real estate though | |
| Is the DAC the digital equivalent of a cartridge. @jjss49 So it is like a car? 😎 more like a walrus or a salt shaker 😂 | |
| Is the DAC the digital equivalent of a cartridge. all analogies have limits, as does this one |
