| Accuphase class A amps - going up the food chain from an A-48 to an A-80 or A-300? I have an Accuphase A48 and I must say it is quite an articulate and powerful amplifier. Build quality is impeccable. I love it. Going up the "food chain" to their more powerful Class-A or A/B amps or their integrated amps I don't think would g... | |
| YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics. Interesting topic but one I suspect most of us are in line with. There are exceptions to the age-related audiophile phenomenon. About 6 years ago, my daughter (now age 36) told me she was interested in vinyl. Her first endeavor in audio was as... | |
| Jay’s Audio CD Transport I too have the CDT-2 Mk III in black and it's aesthetically very nice, robust and sounds great. I like that I can use the I2S output which in my opinion sounds the best. | |
| List Of Small Company Tube Amps @audionutjeff ++++++ on BorderPatrol Electronics ! I have Gary Dew's S20 Parallel SET 300-B amp/PSU's and his top of the line control preamp/PSU's. Very micro/macro dynamic and articulate. No slouch in the bass department ! Highly recommend... | |
| Which HDMI cable for I2S? Wireworld Silver Sphere HDMI made a notable improvement in finer detail and microdynamics. ... Great cables and for the Wireworld USB version... | |
| Shorting plugs I believe it really depends on the type of equipment you have and how the individual inputs get their signal to the amplifying stage. In my particular preamp case, each input RCA goes back to a hard-wired input selector switch and is out of the a... | |
| Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off? Well... If you take a look at who’s attending the Audio Shows, from what I’ve seen it appears to be more folks over 50 than under. I retired in 2023 and during my work life, my career offered me enough discretionary income to afford some really ni... | |
| Verity Audio speaker manufacturer silent... Too bad... Verity Audio had very respectable speakers. I had a pair of Parsifal Ovations and they were indeed a very nice sounding speaker system. I had them for several years until I heard a pair of Living-Voice OBX-RW's which sounded more rea... | |
| Ethernet cables Going down the digital path for several years now, I've made a number of changes from DAC's to music-server/streamers, and the cabling that goes along with them. There has been a lot of good information rendered in this topic. What I have found ... | |
| The molecular level explanation of "cable burn-in" @unreceivedogma Oh you silly Santa denier ! | |
| The molecular level explanation of "cable burn-in" In my 40+ years of audiophile listening, I do believe that break-in of speaker cables and interconnects is necessary and happens. I don't prescribe to know the physics behind it however it's been a phenomenon I've experienced many times over with... | |
| It's your streamer, not your modem I like this discussion... I think Eric, et-al are correct from the standpoint of buffering, however there are issues I’ve found with poor Ethernet regarding noise, etc... I just finished a response to a recent discussion on streaming services whic... | |
| Effect of Internet Service Quality on Streaming? Lots of good recommendations ! I had issues with streaming music versus the EXACT same album loaded on my Innuos ZENith MK3 with a Phoenix USB re-clocker. I use Qobuz which in my listening opinion sounds slightly better than Tidal. No matter wh... | |
| How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you? Interesting discussions on efficient speakers... I have run through the gambit of lower efficiency 87db-89db speakers and efficient 94db and very efficient 103db - 106db. And I've also gone through the same regarding the amps I believed needed t... | |
| Solid State Low powered Amplifiers I have a Valvet E3, a First-Watt F8 and SIT-2 and all of them are class-A and are terrific sounding. The F8 has the most power over the other two however for fairly efficient speakers, all do very well. Each have their own sonic signature and I ... |
