| Linear Tube Audio Never heard either but just heard the Z10 at Cap Audiofest and it was fantastic powering Spatial Audio speakers. My first time hearing LTA and I was impressed. | |
| Romex to your amp? Sure and by that same token you could always just hardwire your amp to that run of Romex. However that kind of limits your flexibility not to mention potentially voiding any warranty. | |
| SCAM ALERT ON MULTIPLE CRAIGS LISTS - Watch Out! I like Craigslist for services, I found my cat-sitter there, not goods. | |
| ... WHAT POWER CORD(S) ARE PLAYING IN YOU SYSTEM TODAY? Preamp and Dac- Furutech FP-S032N With F1-11 Gold Connectors Power Conditioner- Cerious Technologies Nano Signature Power Cable My amp has a captive power cord so that's it. | |
| Transformer coupled vs Capacitor coupled? As with everything it's about implementation, good caps will sound better than bad trannies and vice versa. I've heard both types sound good my current preamp is capacitor coupled. | |
| Streamer recommendations I run an Auralic Aries Mini into an AN Dac to good effect. The Mini is no longer produced but plenty of original Aries on the used market. Also they have the G1 and G2 Aries on the market. | |
| Publications and websites for equipment reviews https://www.dailyaudiophile.com/This is an aggregator of all the online review sites and other things audio. | |
| Any thoughts on the changes or changing Audio names/terms/meanings. They were always called monitors in pro audio. I think the name bled over to home stereo especially since people hopefully put monitors on stands and not the bookshelf. | |
| Audio hobby is like tasting wine. @millercarbon Appreciating in value with age is not what I meant. Wines, those intended for aging at least, also improve in quality and drinkability sometimes vastly. Break in aside audio components don't typically improve soundwise with age. | |
| Audio hobby is like tasting wine. I think the comparison works and doesn't work. It works in the sense yes people have different tastes in wine and of course we all hear differently. Being in the wine business there is a point of diminishing returns someplace but it really depends... | |
| Kondo Ongaku needing advise Owning a Kondo Ongaku would make me euphoric indeed. | |
| Paradigm Persona B - review from HiFi Advice I read that, as always a thorough and informative review from Christian Punter one of the best reviewers out there. | |
| Mattresses, not stereos is where the money is I took this literally and as far as you guys know I don't have $10 Grand stashed inside my mattress. I swear. | |
| Luxman CL-1000 Line/Phono Preamplifier It was just demo'd at Capitol Audiofest quite a few folks heard it there paired with their 300B amp which powered the new Devore Orangutan Reference speakers. To my ears one of the best sounds of the show and the preamp is drop dead gorgeous! | |
| The Totalitarianism of the Rational Audiphile Did someone actually use "climate change is fake" to make a point about audio? And science? I guess it was getting a tad too rational in here. |
