| Most organic / real / analogue sounding DAC (ideally with Volume Control) for $1500?????? I prefer my second-hand Levinson no.36 (R-2R) DAC over my upsampling no.390S CDP. The differences are subtle - but important in longer listening, for sure. Most, if not all, older hi-end DACs will not have volume control, other than the 'bit strip... | |
| Spikes or rubber feet. I tried out the differences between spikes and hard rubber pads, also due to oak hardwood parkett flooring in the past. The difference with my Burmester 961 speakers (35kg each) was so great that I *had to* go with spikes and that fiddly setup wit... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Ultimate Jesse CookOn my digital ’turntable’ - if this counts? One of the absolute best modern flamenco collections I’ve heard. Ever. M. 🇿🇦 PS: sounds like the very best of analogue I can recall, WIDE open sound, really quite amazing. | |
| Are cables really worth their high price because of their geometry? @djones51Ever so agree with what you say. At least you seem to have the knack using words that pass the moderators. I hadn’t, by mentioning the possible influence of a hearing aid in assessing the recommended results by e.g. advising battery/start... | |
| Are cables really worth their high price because of their geometry? @pesky_wabbit+1, thank you! 👍 😉Michélle | |
| How many NICE looking high end floor standing speaker are there at present @hornguysHi, yeah, Joseph's speakers are jolly nice. They sure are. ✔️Now, I'm not an FB user anymore. Seems they don't like me to look there any more...? Thanks also, 👍Michélle | |
| How many NICE looking high end floor standing speaker are there at present @tweak1In my old home town we'd have maybe called those Emerald Physics 'e Brettle'. Just saying, no insult meant of course. BTW, 'e Brettle' translates into something like 'a little board'... 😉I'm still connected to there -- a bit. In short, colo... | |
| How many NICE looking high end floor standing speaker are there at present @audioquest4lifeHoly mo!... Can not argue with the eye, nor the ear I guess, of the beholder. Or as they already agreed to say in the ancient times in Rome: "De gustibus non disputandum est!" And solong you also have the 💪 to move and set up these... | |
| Are cables really worth their high price because of their geometry? @b4icuSo the difference in resistance, if I read you correctly, in any speaker cable is the ONLY determinant of its sound quality. Of course we are not in need to look further into the damping factor, as always the same power amp and also speaker/... | |
| Are cables really worth their high price because of their geometry? @williewonkaAs to 'anti-cables' I had some tested some time ago, that were offered to me free of charge for a trial periode, 1-2 weeks. Seeing them, I right away had a suspicion they were made up by some not so very professional folks - do they gi... | |
| Are cables really worth their high price because of their geometry? @b4icuWow, taking about a strong opinion, I say! Colour me daft, but I still possess 3 kinds of speaker cables, in my system since a VERY long time, and always coming back to it! A Straight Wire WaveGuide, using teflon insulated solid copper wires... | |
| Are cables really worth their high price because of their geometry? @williewonkaHi, I'm not certain you ever heard of, or are familiar with, a certain HPC named interconnect type cable that was produced/marketed by Madrigal (Levinson) way back in the early mid 80s?H standing for helical, P for planar, C for copper... | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? @speedbump6 +1 for sure - so long we talk ICs and SCs. As for power cables my jury is still out - since a LONG time, and more so since I use a PS Audio power regenerator for all my source components. Tried, though not the mega $$$$ items, and foun... | |
| What's been your turntable ownership over the years? Marantz auto return table 1974 - 1989, added a Linn basic arm in mid 80s - not that it made a dang difference. Seriously.90s to 2005 endlessly tried to improve CDP sound and finally went back to LP/analogue in 2006, followed by the next struggle t... | |
| How many NICE looking high end floor standing speaker are there at present @davisbryantSounds all good, what else can I say? 😉So far the best looking and I'm sure sounding alternative to my current gear. Now I'll see if these day-dreams will concur - and strong enough to talk to my savings. 😏Avalon and Rowland gear. Can ... |
