| Amphenol glass toslinks - First impressions I feel pretty foolish reporting back before final testing but the sounds coming from my cheap cable and my Oppo do sound surprisingly good. I will swap back to my optimal system 'a' and compare again tonight.I really think that Kijanki has stumble... | |
| Amphenol glass toslinks - First impressions Very interesting information!I just replaced my best transport (Teac VRDS10) with my least expensive (Oppo 981). I also replaced my 75 ohm digital cable with the cheapest generic 110 ohm cable I could find in my house. I am going to listen to some... | |
| Amphenol glass toslinks - First impressions When you say ' digital cables are in general better with jitter than toslinks ', are you referring to 75 ohm coax cables and usb cables? I was thinking that toslinks were considered digital also.I have a Valab DAC (2009) which is based on the old ... | |
| Best Digital Coax for Tube System under $300 I just ordered Virtual Dynamics Master4.0 digital rca cable that VD is running a special on. It was a little more than the $300 that I wanted to stay under, but with a 45 day return policy, I think it is worth a try. | |
| Best Digital Coax for Tube System under $300 Thanks guys... so far, my short list is the Stereovox xv2, the VD Master 3.0, the Synergistic Research and the Kimber D60. I have a call into Steve at Gabriel Gold also. He only has digital cables in the Rapture line, so they may be a little more ... | |
| The Next Level No bacon tonight, but my wife did buy more at the grocery store this afternoon... so it's not over with the nitrates for a little while longer.So I went shopping too. I found some nice Grosch beer with those fancy swing top caps. I bought a six pa... | |
| The Next Level Thanks for the advice Schipo. I agree with you on the bacon. we just finished the last of it this morning .. bacon and eggs with potato pancakes. | |
| The Next Level LOL...I have a NOS Valab with toslink, coax and usb inputs. I just ordered a Ridge Street Audio Design Poiema USB From Robert Schutz, so I am walking dowm the music server highway right now also.I am going to try to make my files sound as good as ... | |
| The Next Level Eric -The simplicity was something I noticed also... transport, dac. integrated amp, speakers.My next appendage is my Mac Mini. That will only have to be optimized to my dac. I have 2 options to explore there, either usb or toslink. It should be e... | |
| The Next Level It's funny, but I was so wrapped up in my analytical buying frenzy, that I was reading and buying and swapping things around every day. I was having a blast. It didn't dawn on me that all the tweaking that I was doing was all heading in the direct... | |
| Amphenol glass toslinks - First impressions If glass toslink sounds better than standard toslink, and they are both digital, could a better quality usb cable sound better than a standard usb cable?I have been a digital guy most of my life, 1's and 0's, so I cannot figure out how the same 1'... | |
| Best IC cabling under $1000 for tube system John,Nothing would surprise me in this hobby. The point I was trying to make was that the 2 cables that I mentioned both have a look to them that do not come close to the rest of the pack, yet they have a very loyal following.I hope I didn't come ... | |
| Best IC cabling under $1000 for tube system I just did Bobf. I think Steve is really going to keep getting better and better with his cables. I see you have the Raptures. I bet they sound heavenly.I have been listening to my new GG almost non-stop since they arrived yesterday. They have mad... | |
| Best IC cabling under $1000 for tube system Ed -Now, I'm fairly new to all this high end stuff, but I know that the stuff that I know as fact is the same stuff that I used to find totally unbelievable about 2 or 3 years ago. After looking at those skinny little wires, I had to actually stif... | |
| Best IC cabling under $1000 for tube system The Gabriel Gold Revelation MK2's came in this afternoom. Very nice to look at and hold, like a sexy lady's leg.I connected them between my Jadis Orchestra Reference and my Valab (2009) DAC. I connect my Valab to my Teac VRDS10 with a new Amphenol... |
