| Need Opinions for Different Cable Manufacturers/Cable Designs Like just about all of Hi Fi equipment, there’s good & less so for every concept & design & this is very subjective anyway. I really enjoy Triode Wire Labs products & sound excellent in my system. They’re hand made by a small compa... | |
| DAC options to consider for Innuos streamer I have & really enjoy an Innuos Zenith Mark II for both streaming Qobuz & ripping my CD’s. I just very recently upgraded to Bricasti M 1 Series II DAC & thrilled with the sound. Huge sound stage, very dynamic,, beautiful tone, dead qu... | |
| Spades vs. Banana plugs ?? I doubt many have actually gone to the trouble of “A/ B ing” the same wire in the same system w/ spades & bananas & I know I haven’t. My experience is that good quality bananas stay put & spades often don’t & require regular tighte... | |
| List Of Small Company Tube Amps Rogers High Fidelity. Hand made in MA, point to point wired w/very high quality components, wiring & chassis backed by a Lifetime Warranty! And they sound really good too! Not the cheapest of the other nice ones mentioned but some reasonably ... | |
| JBL's Marketing Blunder.. As we know, JBL is amongst the most successful audio companies of all time both on the professional & home audio sectors. They’re smart folks who know what they’re doing & it’s nice to see them trying to turn a younger crowd onto better qu... | |
| Keep light equipment from tipping up from cable weight? Hilarious Nonoise but it also gave me minor PTSD if one of my cats literally running across my Basis turntable in use destroying my upper level ZYX cartridge in the process. Cats are escorted out of the room anytime the turntables dust cover gets ... | |
| Orchestrated Rock...Uriah Heep and others “Tommy” by the Who is a brilliant work of art by one of the great rock bands ever. It is truly a rock opera & has much orchestration. The original recording isn’t bad & the reissue was cleaned up a bit & overall better sounding. Turn o... | |
| AI-Written Stereophile Articles I own a restaurant & was in need of a new dining room manager several months ago & received many applications on Indeed which is a great tool for such needs. Some of the applications were well written & impressive ( which doesn’t neces... | |
| Volti Voyage - New Razz Nice to hear all that. I met Greg at the Capitol Audiofest a few years back, purchased his Rival speakers & couldn’t be happier! I also really feel good about supporting small, more “ local” artisan craftsman whenever possible. There aren’t t... | |
| DCM Time WIndow Identification Help Very nice! I owned them in 1981 & they had curved top & bottom plates along the back side & standard binding posts for cable connections. They were fun, quite dynamic, pretty detailed w/ a big sound stage if you raised them off the flo... | |
| Vibration Control Excellent information Nagel! Thanks. | |
| How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound? I can & do enjoy good music on anything I hear it on. What’s really interesting is that the nuance & details I’ve come to notice & appreciate on the good systems I’ve had over the years get somehow imprinted in my brain & I seem to... | |
| Vibration Control As with so much in high end audio & often life, there’s so many differing opinions & Often no definitive science as to why. Added to this, we all hear & perceive things differently & have different tastes. This is sort of similar ... | |
| Vibration Control Glenn thus far is thee only one who has provided anything close to an actual explanation on the matter although I still have real doubts that in practice in this case, it actually has an effect. Of course what was described is exactly how phono ca... | |
| Vibration Control I’m not sure I follow all of that but so far, no one has explained how physical vibrational energy gets transformed into electrical energy in a solid state device w/ no moving parts. If this truly can happen, think about the effects it might h... |
