| Tidal removing all MQA Switched from Tidal to Qobuz long ago because I hated MQA so much. So: long overdue, IMO. @hickamore My exact sentiments exactly. I had to wait a while longer than most, as it took some time for Qobuz to open its doors in Canada but once they d... | |
| Update from Nordost Heimdall to Frey speaker cable @mgrif are you actually suggesting that there’s no difference (other than price) between any cables whatsoever? So, you can use the cheapest lamp cord (or even smaller gauge - no reason to waste copper) and you’re good to go for speaker cables?... | |
| Looking for a tube preamp that has xlr outputs. @dlowman sorry about that, I own this one, (not my ad) and assumed the previous model had balanced as well. Read this just for knowledge even if it is out of your price range. Hell of a pre amp- weighs 53 lbs. | |
| Looking for a tube preamp that has xlr outputs. @dlowman can you go up to $3000? primaluna | |
| Ethernet cables @macg19 I tried the Everstar filter, waste of money, sent it back, but I’m going to try the iFI filter as I only have the Cox Panoramic device and I’m sure it’s noisy. I’ll send it back if no improvement. Exactly. Zero risk. I recall Alex at... | |
| Ethernet cables hey crock fan, Maybe you should read this- unlike ASR it is a real review from a real electrical engineer PS Audio Lan Rover | |
| Power filtering – Furutech or Puritan Audio? "I once went to an apple pie contest. Judging was performed by a panel of experts, some with 30 years experience in non-related fields. They took samples of each of the pies, put them in a blender, and then tested each sample for colour, lubricity... | |
| Ethernet cables @mwh777 I own the Supra, which has been built by Audio Sensibility with the Telegartner connectors. It is sitting on the floor currently ever since I bought the sotm dcbl cat 7 cable. The sotm improved the sonic quality, but it is so very slight f... | |
| Zavfino prima mk2 speaker cables But what I will say, without exaggeration, is those few tracks were some of the most beautiful that have come from my system to date; I was spellbound and quite emotional. That's what it is all about. 😁 | |
| Ethernet cables As far as the cables, since you specified "casual listening" for streaming, other than a lower cost filter, as some have suggested, I wouldn’t spend any money at all for different ethernet cables. I think you would get more benefit from ensuring t... | |
| why expensive streamers Well, there it is. Again. Everyone should buy the Topping because it measures perfectly, and therefore nothing else will sound better. We are all such fools. I feel so ripped off. Guess I’ll sell all my expensive streamer and DAC gear and buy some... | |
| DAC DIRECT IN TO AMPLIFIER OR TO PREAMPLIFIER @lanx0003 but I really wish someone could explain exactly which elements, components or interactions in the gears contribute to better synergy. Impedance matching is just a necessary condition but not a sufficient condition. I believe the an... | |
| Power filtering – Furutech or Puritan Audio? not classi- crock - fan You really think people want to read your useless posts? Please do us all a favour and go away for good. | |
| Power filtering – Furutech or Puritan Audio? @wig well that is what I was wondering- it didn’t sound any better, noticeably, right after hooking it up, but it may have been 2 days later, and I was quite taken back by how good the system sounded. A few days later and I get around to A/B’ing ... | |
| Power filtering – Furutech or Puritan Audio? Just to follow up regarding a groundmaster connected to the PSM156, I must have had a really good night sound-wise at that moment in time. Was that the purity of the electricity or my ears, I don't know. Just now going back and forth plugging and ... |
