I have found that by planting red and green daisy's in front of the house, and blue and purple in back that it makes my music room sound fuller and more detailed. I tried white as I thought it would clean things up a bit but it made the sound too ...

Ok. we are having a 50 post hiatus on George, r2r, AD or anything related to (or from) Geeorge in regards to r2r. I have put a massive amount of work into keeping this thread going and interesting. George, I consider what you are doing now disresp...

George. Let it rest. You made your point. It's getting a bit ridiculous.

Guido & TBG - give us a quick summary on each of your impressions of the High Fidelity please. It's such a different product from all the others. But SO expensive!

On a side not, and a side note that I don't believe has been discussed, I'm very curious of everyone's opinions of line conditioning, surge suppression, power regeneration, balanced power, filtering, magnets and magic pixie dust??? I know I dragge...

That's the spirit Geoffkit! Lol....My neighbor went all out and ordered a full set of top tier WireWorld Platinum Eclipse 7 interconnects, digital and speaker wire (literally tens of thousands in cable); and I get to play with all of it before we ...

And while I'm standing on my soap box, did anyone besides Mike read my comic interlude on 10/15 entitled "The Ultimate Tweak"? Maybe I'm biased, but I thought it was some funny stuff....I try to lighten things up every once in a while since we tak...

Hi guys. For the first time on this thread, I'm putting an end to this. No more R2R commentary and no responses. You have made your opinion very very clear. If you want to continue I encourage you to start your own thread about how awesome you thi...

I think we all agree that It's all about the design and implementation. Not the cost of parts. I used to own an Ariel Atom. It was a steel frame and a "cheap" supercharged Chevy Ecotec engine. Cheap parts all around. But it did 0-60 in 2.7 seconds...

George. I disagree. But I guess we will agree to disagree. My experience has shown me otherwise. But there's no fault in you making a stand. I just worry that others reading this thread will read that it MUST be R2R to be the best and I believe th...

Did an extended comparison of the N10 and my Mac mini this morning. Final call: N10 wider soundstage with wider image - stretched to fit the soundstage. Image accuracy suffers as a result of that smear. It's warmer then my Mac in the midrange. Not...

There is nothing cheap in cost nor performance about the Berk Ref DAC, the Rowland Aeris nor the OverDrive. I haven't heard the Berk yet, but its reputation is excellent. I'm not sure about the Aeris DAC using the AD, I'm sure Guido can comment, b...
