| Are cables really worth their high price because of their geometry? If the cables are worth it why are there always so many for sale here? They should be hard to find like other high quality gear that is worth it. The 4 figure wires appear to be a dime a dozen. | |
| Sending chord mojo output to preamp 3.55 mm to XLRhi, I use this from my MoJo to pre-amp and it sounds very good:Mogami GOLD 3.5-2RCA-15 Stereo Audio Y-Adapter Cable, 3.5mm TRS Plug to Dual RCA Plugs, Gold Contacts, Straight Connectors, 15 Foot https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N14TRZC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip... | |
| How can I punish this Chinese audio dealer Having a MIA (again) “war-time” President sure didn’t help with that either. Don’t give him a cent either for surrendering without a fight. | |
| Are cables really worth their high price because of their geometry? Yes these wires are very complex practically like spacecraft yet there are hundreds for sale on this site at any given time often costing more than much simpler devices like amps and speakers which are much easier to make and much harder to come ... | |
| Harbeth 30.1 or 40.1 Another thing to consider with sound on YouTube is the room. Same speakers in different room probably sound much different. Including yours. Also who is to say how the production of the videos differ? In any case choosing speakers based on Sound ... | |
| SET 45 and their (real) required speaker efficiency Like much with hifi, it’s largely a matter of expectations. Low power SET amps are a very special case though. To get the most out of just a couple watts of power, you need not just the most efficient speakers to pick up the slack, likely horn loa... | |
| Volti Razz Loudspeakers Razz appear to take up less floor space than Cornwalls, more like Fortes, no?That would be a good thing for many who might be tighter with space for speakers. | |
| Why don't speaker mfg list amps and associated equip they use to " voice " their sound? When your goal is to sell stuff it makes no sense to specify constraints. | |
| Volti Razz Loudspeakers Glad to see a more affordable model from Volti. Seems well received so far. | |
| Leonard Cohen’s “Songs from the Road” sound issues Sounds fine streaming from Spotify. Live recordings in different venues so each is a little different but pretty good overall. | |
| Who, do you think, designs the best looking tube-based devices? I do like Decware aesthetic. Kinda classical looking. | |
| Hard of Hearing Audiophile. Glad to hear the OP was able to find his way. Knowing your goal + perseverance is always the key. | |
| Harbeth 30.1 or 40.1 Yes I have only heard 40.2 set up in large room away from walls. In smaller room closer to walls or corner with more bass reinforcement from the room I might be concerned going in about too much bass and no way to tame it other than eq or tone con... | |
| Can anything be down about this? There must be an agenda! If the waveform is clipped you can’t do anything to reverse that. Otherwise you can attempt to remaster the file yourself with a tool like audacity. | |
| Harbeth 30.1 or 40.1 Right I think it was LTA tube amp of some sort at CAF driving Spatials.Tube amp but LTA is a unique design and does not sound like most tube amps. Much lower output impedance I believe which is a good thing to my ears..the best of both good SS and... |
