| CD Player vs. music streaming As duckworp pointed out one of the major problems with streamers is the quality of the app needed to control content. I bought a Cambridge Audio CXN which sports 2 awful apps. No search function for albums downloaded from Tidal makes it almost imp... | |
| New upper trim level Corvette or seven year old used amps? I tried the Cayman and found it to be the best handling car I had ever driven. The downside was virtually no boot which precluded carrying my golf clubs. So if you need to carry people or golf clubs try the Camaro Hellcat. | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? I tried the Orchid, Pagoda, Denafrips Pontus and none made any difference to the sound quality of my system. I ended up buying the Pure Audio Lotus 5 dac. With my all tube set up it added more air, and an overall more dynamic sound but I can't com... | |
| Best speakers out there for Midrange and Highs Maggies or Martin Logans. Nothing beats electrostatics for mids and highs. | |
| What’s the most badass $2k amp I can get? The McCormack would be hard to beat at $2100. | |
| Streaming + DAC questions. Please help this noob! I bought a Cambridge Audio CXN streamer to use with my Pure Audio Lotus 5 DAC. While the sound is great the Cambridge Audio app options are horrendously non functional. I then bought an Auris Blume Bluetooth receiver to connect to the DAC and cou... | |
| Blown away with 2 speakers hifi sound! Enjoy what you are hearing and ignore the nay sayers as there are too many of those on this forum. | |
| Could this be one reason tubes (and perhaps records) sound better? Thank you for your wisdom Mr Dylan | |
| Looking for inexpensive preamp Second Van Alstine but if out of your price range have a look at Y S Audio out of Hong Kong. I had their basic tube pre for a number of years and with a tube change to NOS RCAs it was great, almost as good as the Van Alstine I bought to replace it... | |
| Recommendations for high quality Streaming Audio: I have a Cambridge Audio CXN v2 which, while more expensive, beat the spots off the Bluesound Node 2i. Downside the app is crap and while I was told they are working on a new app, 3 months on and it still hasn't happened. The Bluesound however is... | |
| Chinese fake cables How fake, how good? How about you prove him wrong? | |
| Where would be a good place to buy& sell used audio equipment? Second Audiomart but also StereoNet but maybe USA doesn't have a StereoNet | |
| Chinese fake cables How fake, how good? You misunderstand. I agree that on ethical or moral issues everyone has a right to an opinion and that is what I said. However I question the validity of opinions with regard to fake cable quality or sound without having seen or heard the cables i... | |
| Chinese fake cables How fake, how good? When I started this thread I mentioned that I had the chance to compare fake Cardas Clear Light interconnects with the real thing and could hear no difference. I have since tried the fake Nordost Odins and find them to be better than the fake Card... | |
| Tubes or not If you really want a tube dac I would second the Orchid. However if you have a tube pre or power amp the Pure Audio Lotus 5 beats the lot and you can probably get Wally at Underwood Hi Fi to sell for $1599 and maybe less. |
