| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords @classicrockfan Yes, I do have some Audioquest cables in my audio system and I do love them all. However, I have no idea how I could’ve given anyone the impression that I was an AQ dealer. I think you were just being facetious. At any rate, about ... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords Very insightful. Why shouldn't you be thoroughly believed. The proof is in the pudding!!! Either there's a discernible difference or there's not. No rocket science involved here. Hopefully, the AQ dealer will give an unbiased assessment, as w... | |
| Roon Nucleus Titan Upgrade Offer Not me!!! I'm perfectly happy with and satisfied with my 3 year old Nucleus Plus unit, which I'll be enjoying for years to come. All my high end audio purchases are carefully selected with the intention of me keeping them for the long-haul, and ... | |
| My new Borresen X3's No, the answer is to buy something great and just be satisfied with it for many years and stop chasing the next shinny penny that's just around to corner. Happy listening. | |
| ifi LAN iSilencer @ boucher, I don’t know about your Auralic Aries Femo with sBooster power supply. I’m sure they’re swell. At least to your ears. Anyway, prior to installing iFi, my source wasn’t inherently noisy or abnormally noisy. However, iFi along with the ot... | |
| My new Borresen X3's I’m not a borresen owner or dealer, but I’ve heard the X3 speakers a couple times, and I was absolutely blown away by them each time. And that’s saying a lot for me, an old audiophile who’s heard more than his share of great speakers over the yea... | |
| ifi LAN iSilencer @boucher Sorry to hear about your very rare negative experience with the iSilencer. I have three iSilencers in my system to brilliant effect. Happy listening. | |
| Full loom of the same cable brand vs mixing and matching. There's always been more than one way to skin a cat to achieve the best possible sound quality in any given audio rig. And, cabling is no exception. It's all good, whether you go with a full loom of the same cable brand or not. It all depends o... | |
| Best "Bang for the Buck" you have owned? Revel Salon 2 speakers!!! | |
| Beryllium Tweeters Any metal dome or ribbon tweeter can be bright depending on what you use for cabling and electronics with them. | |
| Audiophile frame of mind Well, as an experienced audiophile for over 25 years, I’m here to tell you something that you probably already know. You can delay the purchase of the upgraded cables all you want. But, the desire is still there, and it’ll always be there, nagging... | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? Nope!!!! Never happened to me. Over the years, every single time I've changed or upgraded a power cable, whether it be for an amp or any other component, I always heard some kind of change in their sound. Sometime the change in sound was subtle... | |
| Best DAC’S $5k to $15k There's about a million DACs out there to choose from. Who knows which one is best? Auditioning and trail-and-error is the only way to know for sure which one sounds best to your ears. Period!!! Me, personally, within my price range, I thought... | |
| What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good. After auditioning and comparing my incredible Ayre Acoustics QX-5 Twenty Streaming DAC to several other more expensive reference DACs (and some less expensive), I opted for the Ayre, and I have been extremely happy with it every since. I felt that... | |
| Back to the DAC I would most highly recommend one of the upper-end Ayre Acoustics DACs. I find that the Ayre Acoustics DACs have a beautifully natural, super high resolution, organic, smooth, extremely dynamic, detailed and transparent signature sound. I have ... |
