| Best Bang for your Buck DAC ? I just picked up the Schiit Audio Bifrost 2, and the difference in my system was breathtaking (literally)! I am using that mated to a Brennan B2 which I used to RIP my cd collection. It is my first DAC so I have not auditioned or compared to any o... | |
| Typical lifespan for a 5 channel power amp? Thank you for all the great advice folks! I always appreciate and value the time and opinions of those of you here that take the time to respond and help...You have definitely boosted my confidence level and I am leaning heavily towards keeping an... | |
| Anyone (everyone) care to throw a dart? @arizonabob I too have pondered this very thing from time to time. I feel like you get to a certain price point (not entirely sure what the number is though I guess it's different for everyone depending on what you can afford) where to get the sli... | |
| All things being equal (hypothetical) which do you prefer, XLR or RCA? @jjss49 good point about the loudness perception. I actually fell for this way back in the day comparing Definitive Technology speakers vs PSB's. The Definitive's being bipolar (and more efficient at the time) seemed to completely overwhelm the PS... | |
| All things being equal (hypothetical) which do you prefer, XLR or RCA? Appreciate all the great responses, thank you All! Sounds like XLR is for the most part what most prefer. Like I said I have gone balanced now and will not go back I was just more curious than anything else to see what most here prefer. But I defi... | |
| All things being equal (hypothetical) which do you prefer, XLR or RCA? More great responses! I do love the locking grip that XLR offers. What I have noticed though is that some manufacturers charge the same for XLR or RCA. While others charge almost significantly more for XLR (Transparent Cable-not a knock I do love ... | |
| All things being equal (hypothetical) which do you prefer, XLR or RCA? Thanks for the responses! @testpilot and @ron_hartman these are EXACTLY the kind of responses I was hoping for - thanks Folks! | |
| Speaker Cables @ghdprentice Great call on Transparent! I have been using Transparent for 20+ years now. I am now using their Plus speaker cables and IC's. Not only great products but excellent policies and customer service as well! | |
| Looking for my "last" CD transport I know this will sound crazy to some, but I recently purchased the Brennan B2. I have ripped all of my cd's and this thing is amazing! I have it connected via optical to a Schiit Bifrost 2 as my DAC and not only do I have access to all of my cd's ... | |
| Gripped By Upgrade Fever For 5K you should take a look at Dynaudio Evoke 50. They are magnificent. I became a huge fan of Dynaudio when they introduced their Audience line many years ago. Whilst I was not as impressed with Emit or Excite, I have found Evoke to have more o... | |
| For a few dollars more @oldhvymec GREAT call on Tombstone! Agree completely some of the best acting you will see.. LOVE that movie! So many quotable lines from that one:"Hell Doc why would you get mixed up in this anyway"?"Wyatt Earp is my friend""Hell I got lots of fri... | |
| Taking time (and time outs) to enjoy the ride... I bring this up only because I had to sell all my gear after my divorce 17 years ago. Just within the last 2 years have I gotten back into Audio/HT. My current quest was to regain that "feeling" again. And only until very recently have I gotten it... | |
| Toslink cable that isn't prone to jitter, possible? Thanks @soix Unfortunately a cd ripper isn't an option as my router is on another floor and cannot be moved. So I have no way to connect either the Node Vault or Innuos. I have been looking for another carousel (need at least 100 disc capacity) th... | |
| Taking time (and time outs) to enjoy the ride... @millercarbon EXACTLY! It is truly a "feeling". Best possible way to describe it and you just know it when it happens. This is exactly what happened to me when I first brought home my Dynaudio Audience 82's 20+ years ago. Soon as I sat for that fi... | |
