| BAACH two week report Thanks for the info. | |
| BAACH two week report Wow, the Mac mini is enough to run BAACH? That great news on my wallet. I’m assuming that the Mac is connected before your DAC, but I have a Linn DAC/streamer that connects directly to the Ethernet. For Roon, I was going to purchase a Roon Nucleu... | |
| Ultimate $10K home office system for vinyl? Apologies of my previous post was too strong. Perhaps you didn’t realize that a serious answer was a lot of work. I really hate pointless busywork. Also, for you our preferences are not relevant when compared to your preferences. Only you can deci... | |
| Ultimate $10K home office system for vinyl? I disagree. 10k is a lot of money so to get an honest answer one has to do much evaluation and research. That’s what most audiophiles do to maximize the sonics on a limited budget. Often these cost/benefit decision are mentally taxing. I’m assumin... | |
| BAACH two week report @wsrrsw The BAACH SP hardware was out of my budget and their other options seemed confusing until a later review I saw. The cost of the MAC plus the BAACH at ~7k is much easier on my budget. Not sure if the BAACH4MAC degrades the sound in any ... | |
| Building your music digital music collection I'm still setting up my digital audio chain. Like many, I have planned to rip my CDs to hard disk in a Roon Nucleus+ by DBpoweramp where I plan to stream via Qobuz and maybe Tidal also. My Linn DAC/streamer will be connected directly to the int... | |
| Does a turntable mat make any difference? Does anyone think it could be harmful? Yes, if your turntable mat is made from sandpaper:) | |
| What happens when the stylus tip wears out on a $12,000 cartridge? @mulveling Sounds like I have to stretch out my use of my Koetsu Stone cartridge. Also not sure if they can retip my diamond cantilever in my Corralstone D. | |
| Just compared Monster M2.2 and ZU Mission speaker cables Monster M2.2 is a good audiophile Monster cable - learned something new. Thanks @aberyclark | |

| Some Cables Thoughts After seeing up to thick garden hose PCs, I was a bit shocked to see the flexible Puritan cable Maybe consider the Audience ForteF3 which is similar in price to the Shunyata Venom. | |
| Starting a Classical Vinyl Music Collection I got both. Vinyl for better sonics, digital for the ease, streaming variety, and Roon to explore. | |
| Yes, cables do make a difference -- regardless of price... @lanx0003 In an ideal world I agree that customers would be better served knowing exactly what they are buying including the manufacturers costs including R&D and markup. However, we live in a competitive market with many copycats. If thes... | |
| Yes, cables do make a difference -- regardless of price... Years ago in the WBF forum, engineers and scientists were debating the claims on the Masterbuilt Cables website. The Masterbuilt were designed by the same government scientists working on superconductors (no, Masterbuilt is not a superconductor, ... | |
| Best cable placement + mostly everyone Generally source/upstream first, but easy to try other components to see which you like sonically best. |
