| ??? What Is Your Favorite Speaker Finish ??? Interesting question. Used to be strictly black (always gloss if available), but now I’m totally all in on walnut! Will never go back to black. For the first time ever I went walnut on my speaks (Revel Be) and they are stunning! I sometimes will j... | |
| Toslink optical cables: Audioquest Optilink 3 vs Glass? Nice! You won’t be disappointed. And even if you were Toslink build quality doesn’t get any better, like @lanx0003 pointed put the 470 strands vs the next best 300 for DHLabs (whom I recommend for any other cables, especially their Cryo power cabl... | |
| Toslink optical cables: Audioquest Optilink 3 vs Glass? Go with the Lifatec hands down! They are by far the best Toslink I have ever used. Magnificent build (medical grade) and as good as it gets imho… | |
| Revel F36 or Dali Oberon 7 I have owned the Dali OB. 7’s and now have Revel (Be series) in my main system. Whilst I have never auditioned the F series I MUCH prefer the Revel sound to the Dali’s. I had the 7’s in a second system and ended up selling them. I tried the Optico... | |
| Upgrade ....streamer or amp? @troutbum I have the BS Icon and have a Gustard X18 DAC and Gustard U18 DDC. You can get both Gustard units for under 1K. Sounds amazing with the Icon | |
| What are your opinions of DSP's for speakers @ghdprentice Mic drop! One of the most simplistic, coherent, sensical, and best replies I have seen! Makes 100% total sense👍🏻 | |
| Anybody ever dealt with Safe and Sound audio Absolutely! Have dealt with them a few times. Both in person and internet. Aaron is awesome! These guys are 100% legit and as customer focused as any out there! Not only do they back whatever they’re offering, they go the extra mile…I’m in NH so I... | |
| I2s cable not working with my DAC All HDMI cables are not the same. However, DHLabs Silversonic 2.1 specifically references I2S compatibility. I am using this cable between my Gustard DAC and DDC. Best part is it’s under $100. Just remember keeping it no longer than 1m if possible... | |
| Recommendation for an HDMI cable under $200 for audio only Like others, DH Labs Silversonic. This cable specifies I2S compatibility. I have really been smitten with DH Labs across the board. Best part is buying through The Cable Co that is a Frequent Flyer cable and is eligible for discount.. | |
| Potential relief for tinnitus? I used to read the comments here about those who suffer from Tinnitus and always think how horrible that must be. About 6 months ago out of nowhere my left ear just developed a ring. Hasn't let up since...I've tried many things to no avail, but fo... | |
| Streamer Advice I have both Bluseound and Eversolo. I love both and find both apps to be super user friendly. I'm also using external DAC's for both (DENAFRIPS Pontus II 12th with Esolo and Gustard X18 with the BS). I'd highly recommend either, but I love the vid... | |
| Special Forty? @fmiller37 I too am/was a HUGE Dynaudio’s fan! There was just something wildly addictive about their sound. Back in the early 2000’s their Audience line (which was just their entry level-all I could afford back then), just completely enamored me s... | |
| Why did you purchase the equipment you have and what do you like most about it? @inna totally agree! Aesthetics are a big second factor only to sound. Speakers should look like speakers and not robots or spaceships. Sometimes I find myself just sitting and admiring my rig even when nothing is playing😬. So I won’t even auditio... | |
| EtherREGEN or LHY SW-6? Anyone compare the 2? Thoughts/opinions? Thanks for sharing @agisthos. Appreciate the tip on the isolated port. Fortunately where I plan on placing the SW-6 will be easy access (the rest of my components require me to transform into a contortionist to get near them🤦🏼♂️) so I’ll be able ... | |
| EtherREGEN or LHY SW-6? Anyone compare the 2? Thoughts/opinions? @wlutke Thats interesting. So it helped the video but not the audio? I don’t stream any video. @oddiofyl Thank you, most everyone speaks to the build quality of the SW-6. In the grand scheme of things I feel like the possible benefits vs cost ... |
