| 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 ... | |
| best integrated amp. So as many have said it depends on your tastes and matching your speakers but just for the hell of it I heard this Synthesis Action A40 Virtus integrated a few weeks ago at Deja Vu Audio. Synthesis is an Italian company specializing in tubed gear... | |
| 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!

| Dick's / Dave's picks Just got dropboxed the 78 box set, going to take a while to download it but will do it overnight if I can and give it a listen tomorrow. | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC rinpoche for a purchase of this magnitude any good store should let you do an in-home audtion, I assume the store is local to you? Perhaps the owner can bring the amps over and at least do an audition with your speakers if he won't lend you an amp... | |
| Auralic Aries Mini vs Bluesound Node ll vs Sonos Well I just sprang for an Auralic Aries Mini found a nearly new one here with an ssd drive installed for a good price it arrives tomorrow. No issues with my Sonos except for one, the 2.4ghz network here, downtown DC, is massively crowded leading t... | |
