| What are all these metal cans/pods sitting on top of electronics? I’ve tried Herbies Audio Lab Stabilizers (or two stacked). Pre, DAC or ss amp, but I always end up removing them after some time. Same outcome every time; a bit more clarity and delineation but slight negative affect on soundstaging (within, not o... | |
| The Weekend I thought the vibe, imagery and overall visual message of his halftime performance was quite dark and negative. Nothing positive about it at all. | |
| Audio Lessons Learned - post your best advice for the newer members! Hope this isn’t a repeat already...but never judge a piece or even a cable for, say 48 hours after install, as many system environments can give either false positives or false negatives within that time. So always take “I just plugged it in and i... | |
| Puritan PSM156 Receivers aren’t exactly known for being audiophile level cleanness of signal, no matter what the brand. What’s your amp @merlin66? Your systems components, as good as they are in their lane, just arent inherently clean enough to show the differen... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC Another break-in tip for those slower to ‘get there’ materials, like teflon... This may seem unconventional or even weird to some, but I got this from a designer years ago... During the break-in process, every two or three day power the unit down ... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC @73max, how many hours on both? With such a close sound and the Plus not handling delicacy as well as the standard, sounds like just a break-in thing. When I had a Termi, delicacy and final details is what took the time... Not saying your observat... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC I thought someone mentioned that the 10day trial period is no longer and that Holo said it is not doable in the current times/world situation or something like that. | |
| Anyone hear Jay's Audio cdt2-mk3 vs mk2? And maybe prices on the CDM4 have gone up so because Denafrips supposedly bought up a NOS stock of over 3000 units for future replacements in their transport —that actually hasn’t been available for many months now, just after it’s release. | |
| JAY'S Audio CDT-3-MK2 or PS Audio DirectStream Memory Player @wig , thanks, great info for me and that that you switched from the same PWT. | |
| JAY'S Audio CDT-3-MK2 or PS Audio DirectStream Memory Player @wig , or anyone else, is the CD2 MK2 warm or thick in any way, that in turn, translates to any level of lack of detail? You know, the trade off with warmth sometimes masking detail or loss of openness (air/space) to the sound? I’d like a new tran... | |
| JAY'S Audio CDT-3-MK2 or PS Audio DirectStream Memory Player @snopro you've already heard/owned the brand new (2021) MK3? Did you also happen to hear the MK2 from the past couple years? | |
| RIP - Aretha Franklin @tuberculin, careful! I cried 25 years ago...and I’ll do it again, gosh darn it! | |
| RIP - Aretha Franklin @volumizer, that’s cold! | |
| DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000 All these DACs will give a different end sound out different systems, as most DACs I’ve heard have a frequency spectrum balance/presentation of their own. One more bottom end, one more top end, one having fuller mids or one having a slight dip in ... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC The high bitrate upsamplers will always say a DAC sounds best that way. |
