| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Tbg,Sounds like we agree on more than disagree.I wouldn't compare the technical complexity of building a good PC or launching a successful space mission to that required of a power cord though. Very poor analogies!Plus the space program is governm... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? TBG,I said some PCs are overengineered and overpriced and not a good value, not all.I'll stand by that assertion with no problem whatsoever.ALso that making a good power cord is not rocket science.GEtting lots of clean power when needed in general... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Clean power does, however best that is achieved. Power cords alone may be hit or miss. Current delivery capability and a good ground are keys. This is not rocket science. Personally I believe a lot of power cords are overengineered for the task at... | |
| Triangle Titus 202 or Triangle Comete ES? Interesting info. Thanks.I've enjoyed my Titus XS now for many years and have often thought about trying other larger Triangle models. Their versatility and cost effectiveness is tough to beat! | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? A hearing aid?Not from normal or proper use so much, though the increased potential to do harm to ones ears is certainly there even then, but you have to wonder about the potential of high efficiency speakers to do harm to your hearing especially ... | |
| Looking for Integrated Amp for Dynaudio 1.3 MkII's The 1.3 mkIIs can be a touch hot sounding on the top end with some amps and are a tad towards the warm side of sound overall.That and their appetite for juice makes Class D amps a very good option.Toe out/indirect tweeter orientation can be used i... | |
| Looking for Integrated Amp for Dynaudio 1.3 MkII's Yes, they like lots of SS juice. Icepower works well with these Dyns. The Wyred integrated is where I would probably look as well. | |
| What's more important: phono stage or amp Always address the weakest link in order to maximize value. | |
| Having an ear for Jazz Always liked it. Watching Ken Burn's Jazz series when it ran on PBS took my appreciation to a higher level. | |
| In the under $2500 category, diminishing returns? rogue cronus tube amp mates well with mmg and is in your general range and a good value. add a sublater if needed and you have a pretty sweet rig. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? OHm sold me as a salesperson at Tech Hifi where I had access to many speakers, but the OHMs were always the best sounding to me at almost any common price point back then.I started with OHM Ls and graduated to Walsh 2s around 1982 or so after. Mag... | |
| OK, now I know about Audio Note dacs.... Anyone ever compared an Audio Note DAC with an mhdt Constantine? | |
| Anyone using Squeezebox server on Mac OS X? I use it on WIndows.Had some issues after upgrading this past week to the latest published version.Artwork for .wav files stopped loading. I had to upgrade to a more recent beta release to get this new bug fixed.Also they dropped the handheld skin... | |
| Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh? Many do and most are probably content and have no desire to explore other horizons. | |
| Which components are "stupid good"? mhdt Constantine DAC.I'm not sure what more one could expect from a DAC than this delivers, short of jumping perhaps into the big buck DCS gear. |
