| Power Cords/ Conditioner/Surge Protectors @ktarver You shouldn’t take advice from anyone in this post and consult Moon Audio on what they recommend. No manufacturer to my knowledge recommends cables, this is why we have forums. Whatever cables you choose, even if new, they are the c... | |
| Shakti Stone I put half a bag of cement on my DAC I find it works just as well. | |
| Advices on 10 mhz Clocks @sls883 Clock cables should be one meter and all the same length and identical models from the same manufacturer. For economy cables try Shenzen Audio and Denafrips. High end cables are $1k+ https://cybershaft.shop/ | |
| 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. | |
| Steely Dan - Katy Lied - Just Released On SACD @wharfy Yes this has long been the problem with KL, it's compressed sound and lack of dynamics. Subsequently this has been put down to bad Dolby EQ. This edition together with other SD Analogue Productions re-issues have been re-mastered without... | |
| Shipping system to UK You're going to get shafted, buy a new system in the UK. | |
| Movie/film suggestions. Withnail and I - Totally brilliant with great scenes of post war Britain Blue Velvet - David Lynch's best work Tommy - The Who The Producers - Mel Brooks | |
| 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... |
