| Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000? @guscreek I don't believe most audiophiles want a warts and all true reproduction, especially the valve contingent. Live music can be very noisy and brash, a far cry from the warmth of valves. Transistors are more accurate and truthfull and take... | |
| Advices on 10 mhz Clocks @lanx0003 You mentioned GoldenSound. If you go through his videos he experimented with clocking a DAC and the benefit was zero. Clocking other components before their signal gets to the DAC ensures a pristine signal for the DAC to process. Dena... | |
| Is it worthwhile to upgrade an old but quality DAC? It's a clunker throw it in the trash. The DAC in your OPPO gives much higher resolution and you can also play and rip SACDs and play DVD Audio discs. Chinese DACs are now up 140% and counting due to tariffs but you should be able to get a good us... | |
| Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000? I just heard the DCS Lina DAC and Clock with a pair of Nordost Odin Gold digital cables. Very nice but $50k+ for the combo. Money would be better spent on a really good pre-amp, speakers and cables. | |

| Considering switching to XLR cables, There is really very little difference between XLR and RCA. Most of us aren't going to need a cable longer than 2m. I've had some great RCA cables and poor sounding XLR cables and vice versa. Many high end valve amp manufacturers only provide RC... | |
| A great, great talk by Robbie Robertson on all things The Band. Robbie Robertson's solo album by the same name is far superior to anything The Band ever produced. Honestly what an overated bunch of turds. | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? I almost forgot because they are totally unforgetable - KISS | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? Only thing worse then Springsteen are his fans, what a tosser! How did supporting Kamala work out for you? Did you get a Mill the same as Oprah and Sharpton? | |
| Natalie Merchant - Leave Your Sleep She'll never equal or surpass Tiger Lilly, which brought massive attention from the Ultra Woke Crowd which dragged her down back to obscurity. The Tiger Lilly DVD-A is superb both in content and production. Apparently she now lives in upstate NY... | |
| One of the most dismissed artists ever... (lp)... This is a hilarious album and if you don't have it you should get it. | |
