| Qobuz Hi-Rez Not Necessarily the Best Sound @soix makes a good point. I also find that newer music which has been natively recorded in hires, then mastered at a high sampling rate does often sound better than the "CD quality" version on Qobuz. Music from the 70s, 80s, 90s has been subjecte... | |
| Qobuz Hi-Rez Not Necessarily the Best Sound I guess it goes to show that higher rez files are not necessarily superior sonically. Modern day remasters suffer from high compression. The goal in the beginning was to make the recording louder for air play and for ear bud listeners. See the ... | |
| Canare 4S11 Thanks, I'll stay balanced to the amp. Upstream components are SE. | |
| Canare 4S11 @designsfx , That's a good point about the circuit. The amp is Atma-sphere fully-balanced differential and an Audio Note preamp using transformers. Regarding the Mutec, I sent you a PM. I'm loving how it improved my digital in so many ways; jitte... | |
| Canare 4S11 Thanks @mofimadness . The length is only 1.5m but I enjoyed what seemed to be a blacker background and higher S/N. I should mention I did a shootout between Audio Envy and Zavfino balanced. The Audio Envy was too warm and their Pro series (a custo... | |
| Canare 4S11 I've returned to ask about Canare interconnects. In my system I use Canare 4S11 speaker cables and Silent Source ICs. Due to a component change I wanted a more neutral cable so I installed Mogami 2534 Star Quad from preamp to amp and the result wa... | |

| how to buy power cords that fit my components (i.e tight and snug) If it's a PC you like and want to keep it in your system, wrap Teflon tape (plumber's tape) around the loose-fitting connector. Electrical tape will eventually become sticky and leave residue. I have two cables wrapped with Teflon tape and no prob... | |
| Mutec MC 3+ and CTronic After Dark Clock @designsfx Sweetwater has the black in stock. | |
| Please any idea how to plug in Tara Labs RCA connectors very close together? Thanks @jasonbourne52 +1. I'm waiting for those comments. | |
| Mutec MC 3+ and CTronic After Dark Clock Mutec MC-3+ ordered today. Will be using AES/EBU from transport and SPDIF coax from Node2i. I wonder why they went with RCA coax in/out instead of BNC. All word clock connections are of course BNC. | |
| Please any idea how to plug in Tara Labs RCA connectors very close together? Thanks Try using a RCA male to female adapter in one of the connections. One cable will be offset from the other. Or try a right angle RCA adapter on one or both connections. | |
| Mutec MC 3+ and CTronic After Dark Clock @designsfx 👍 Those design engineers bicker like Audiogon members. | |
| Jays Lab Streaming Digital v Vinyl Another digital vs analogue thread. That's ok if you would please provide more information instead of a blanket statement. | |
| High Fidelity Reveal IC's @bshaw I use a High Fidelity CT-2 S/PDIF coax, I've also owned the Reveal digital. I can only speak to these cables, they're neutral and transparent. So much so that they don't influence the sonic signature of the music. I tried recently to fi... |
