| Why do YOU love Vinyl/or hate vinyl Well, that didn’t take long...haters will always be just that..too close minded. Vinyl is great, but the idea that its sound quality is superior to that of uncompressed digital recordings is preposterous. They sound different, and that's exactly m... | |
| RMAF - Innuos Demo I was there, the USB re-clocker brought subtle but noticeable improvements to Zenith player. Those can’t afford the Statement, adding a re-clocker would be a way to go as long as your system is revealing enough to appreciate the addition of Phoeni... | |
| Why do YOU love Vinyl/or hate vinyl Oh no....another vinyl thread 😊In all seriousness I get your passion for Vinyl and the whole ‘ritual’ of setting up the TT. Before this thread morphed into Vinyl vs Digital, many of us invested considerable amount of time tinkering and tweaking ou... | |
| Innuos - New Re-Clocker An external re-clocker for $3150 plus the cost of two high quality USB cables....one must access the competition before you dump another $4200 for a USB performance upgrade. Nevertheless, it’s an option to upgrade USB performance for their lower p... | |
| SACD Player--Do you use it and feel you'd replace it if it broke? Yes, I would replace my SACD player if it can’t be repaired. I have a pretty decent collection of SACD’s and continue to buy the titles that are not available on Tidal/Qobuz. i just bought Japanese pressings of Gary Karr SACD’s and they are simply... | |
| Network streamer with hard drive Another vote for Vault 2i. It has a decent built-in DAC but if you can use an external DAC like Denafrips Ares II or Ayre Codex, you’re in for a real treat. Tidal or Qobuz subscription is a must if you want to take advantage of above setup. | |
| Tammy Holt ......She's what holds it all together.......Never gives up Another vote for Tammy, she is the heart n soul of Audiogon. | |
| How To Proceed With Room Treatments @jrpnde, I would reach out to GIK and speak to James Lindenschmidt. I have recently worked with him and he made the whole process painless. Personally, I think their basic panels are quite inexpensive and worth every penny. If you factor in the in... | |
| Affordable SET's with 211 or 300B tubes, (2000 dolllars maximum) +1, charles1dad.Contact Aric at Aric Audio, he can build you a very high quality 300B amp.https://www.aricaudio.com | |
| Imported audio are you getting the same level of performance vs domestic priced equip? For me, it simply boils down to brand pedigree, performance, features and uniqueness of the product. When you look at all that, they far outweighs the import duties and freight charges. I love my Canterbury’s and there isn’t anything out there I c... | |
| Will adding an external DAC to my setup improve SQ significantly? Check out Denafrips Ares II, great sounding DAC and incredible value. It will be a perfect companion for Node 2i.Spotify offers low resolution streaming hence your CD’s sounds better. Stick with Tidal or Qobuz streaming for better listening experi... | |
| I wonder why...... Stock power cords are great for initial burn-in. Another use for them would be to include it in the resale for cable naysayers 😉I won’t go into the merits of aftermarket PC’s....if you hear the difference, great. If you don’t, enjoy the stock cord. | |
| New DAC or New Streamer or New Streamer/DAC I agree with @stewart0722 in regards to his experience with N10. I have owned N10 for 5 plus years and there isn’t another server like N10 under $10K. | |
| New DAC or New Streamer or New Streamer/DAC I have not heard G1 or T2 side by side but did listened to them individually in different systems and both sound pretty terrific. Either of them would make formidable pairing with Terminator and will be a step up from Aries Mini. If you have not b... | |
| Denon dead? If you can’t fix Denon on hand, I would grab a Marantz. There is no one else that have been consistent in keeping their line up to date and best sounding HT receivers as Marantz. |
