| What's going on with the audio market? @jafant enough about Obama and the economy and politics please this is not the place for it, not to mention an ironic place to complain about the economy. | |
| Is it in my head only? arafiq the answer is NO! It's not in your head and the improvement in sound quality is real. And more to the point what does sound quality matter if you’re dealing with dropouts right? I was happy with my Sonos Connect running Tidal out to my dac ... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC rinpoche I would say Al's technical wizardry and completely correct explanation notwithstanding try each output tap until you find the one that sounds best to you. It's likely to be the one Al suggests but it may not be, we all have different ears... | |
| What's going on with the audio market? Hmmm lets see..........46, 30, ?I love the system I have now but still tinker and if I can improve it for a not crazy amount of $$ I will. And it's basically my only real indulgence so I don't feel guilty about it at all. | |
| replacement drive for Rega Apollo I stand corrected thanks rar1 and sorry elader must have mis-remembered that was sure I read it in a review once. Good luck! | |
| replacement drive for Rega Apollo elader pretty sure Rega makes their own drives, you should contact them or one of their dealers. | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables Something I wanted to throw out there, seems like this thread has attracted a lot of attention for the use of Graphene in the cables, but I think that sort of misses the point. Yes materiel's are important and better and better stuff is available ... | |

| Guy Clark has passed away RIP Guy I never got to see you live but love your music. Another terrible loss indeed. | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables lak I use GE RCA all throughout and they beat Kimber KCAG and AZ Silver Reference II in my system. To me they were quieter, with more intensity and tonal saturation to the music, with certainly subjectively deeper bass but also extended highs. Bla... | |
| Auralic Aries Mini vs Bluesound Node ll vs Sonos Well the Aries mini is here was super easy to setup, and sounds good. Also running on the 5ghz band rather than 2.4ghz not a single dropout yet! Like the lightning ds app also, controlling it with my phone now but should have an ipad mini 2 here t... | |
| Focal Utopia Maestro upgrade I suspect your amp is high current the model name would seem to indicate it doubles again at 2 ohms into 600 watts? Unfortunately the YBA website is pretty bad and gives no specs. I have not heard the Maestros sorry speaking more theoretically, I ... | |
| Obscure bands The eponymous album and Safety in Numbers are faves but its honestly been years since I listened to them. | |
| Obscure bands Crack the Sky is an outstanding band from Baltimore that never quite made it big. Don't know that I would compare them to Steely Dan but excellent rock & roll. | |
| Focal Utopia Maestro upgrade I believe the Focal Maestro Utopia has a sensitivity of 93db and in a review on Tone Audio they said the speakers sounded great with 60 watt Primaluna Dialogue Tube monos. Note sure what the specs are on your power amp but I suspect that it has mo... |
