| New SR Orange fuse ... +1, jaybe. I went through couple of blown black fuses with ARC AMP and the preamp. So I end up going .25 value higher than rated and no issues since then. | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... Orange is the new Blue 😉https://www.synergisticresearch.com/fuses/orange-fuse/ | |
| Stereophile mistakenly writes Mytek Review as dCS I have heard Bartók in my system and it’s a great sounding DAC and lot more. I applaud dCS to bring Ring DAC based technology to a affordable price point. Even though reviewer makes a compelling argument about how chip based DAC are approaching th... | |
| Matching Gear matter to you? Most audiophiles are OCD about their system...LOL. I have gone through few iterations of having multiple components from ‘same’ manufacturer. There are advantages to do so...you get the tonality and synergy right from get go, since they are all cu... | |
| Things that make you go, "Hmmmmm...." “Most new music is crap. Most new cars are crap. On and on. So of course most new CD players are gonna be crap....and so most new turntables are crap too! So there! People who make this kind of generalizations are either ‘stuck’ in time like needl... | |
| Things that make you go, "Hmmmmm...." “Music is not a competition. Criticizing digital doesn’t make your vinyl sound better or make digital sound bad. It just reflects poorly on you. Take the chip off your shoulder and enjoy the music. That’s what it’s about for many of us.”@tomcy6, w... | |
| Unintended Consequences? Digital Streaming t_e_p, Thanks for the track info, strangely on my device the file shows up as 24bit/44.1kHz. Does your device or app allows upsampling? Theoretically, with added bits you get better dynamic range. Some recordings (depending on the original master)... | |
| Things that make you go, "Hmmmmm...." IMHO, stick to your Vinyl....digital is not your thing 😉 | |
| Unintended Consequences? Digital Streaming I think you’re pretty much imagining things here....Qobuz 16bit/44.1kHz or 24bit/192kHz files are superb and IME, don’t have any hint of compression. I hope this is not another attempt to affirm vinyl so called ‘superiority’ over digital. Comparin... | |
| Streamer Recommendation W20 has been replaced by W20SE and it remains one of the best server money can buy. There are some very unique features aboard W20SE that allows user to experience the most engaging and natural soundstage, utterly honest to its source. The noise f... | |
| Why does my old CD player sound so much better than my new streamer? “No streamer matched my Luxman D08u. Period”LMAO!!!!! The folks with ‘absolute’ statements, like they have tried all the top tier Streamer / DAC on the planet. | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... “Seriously, how many times can the sound of a system be “totally transformed” by replacing a fuse?”@mitch2, you’ve nailed it. I was wondering the same in reading Frank’s posts. It seems his zest for ‘tweaks’ has no ceiling....let the saga continue... | |
| Do we really need anything greater than 24/96? Opinions? It all starts from the source (mastering process) regardless of format. I have recordings in DSD that easily trumps their low resolution counterparts. Some of the 24bit XRCD’s I own are simply outstanding, in contrast the 16bit/44.1kHz file of sa... | |
| A civil discussion about the state of Audio Research I had the similar experience as monoogan when I sent my DAC9 for USB upgrade couple of months ago. The service was performed within 48 hours after they received the DAC. But then it sat there in shipping and billing department for a week. When I ... | |
| Innuos Statement Review “There are other options within and below this price point that are very good and don’t require the additional filter“. One may consider JCAT Signature LAN Cable. I currently own this and SoTM dCBL CAT7 and can say unequivocally that I like them b... |
