| Zafvino Silver Dart Graphene vs. ? +1 @ozzy Be open to rearranging your components to fit your power cables ! And using creative supports to keep them from falling out of the c14 inlets. | |
| Endgame Vocal+ DAC Help: Terminator Plus 12th vs. Chord DAVE vs. Holo May vs. Weiss502. Oh! And Blu-Tac for attaching speakers to stands. Seems weird, but if you cannot anchor them directly, the stuff works. The latest thinking in regards to speakers appears to be not to solidify, or couple them to the floor/stands but de-couple t... | |
| If the DAC is the same, how different do CD transports sound? @jasonbourne71 @robshaw What went down? Any plans here for jasonbourne to find the truth? Quite a generous offer for him. Related to this thread, to evaluate the difference a simple transport makes does anyone recall ever going to a Linn dealer... | |
| Weiss 501 DAC @celtic66 thanks for your reply. I wouldn’t expect anyone would do what you describe. But I can think of a few reasonable scenarios that could shed light on my question. I suppose another angle on this is to wonder about the relative contribution... | |

| anyone else getting phishing popups ? You just missed my last post, but I am on a Macbook running Monteray 12.6.9. Here is a dropbox image of what it looked like when AVG caught the malicious redirect: AVG called it "URL: scam" you can see the Audiogon background as AVG didnt allow th... | |
| anyone else getting phishing popups ? Thanks for the responses. Just to clarify it is not just a popup, or any legitimate advertising, but an actual overtaking of the entire webpage and a redirect to a different one. The Audiogon tab gets removed on my Macbook, and a different one app... | |
| Testing Ethernet switch For your analogy, food is good because the recipe and ingredients are good. Not because some reviewer says so. Electronics are the same. But you are missing something critical: Ingredients are not just ingredients, the source or quality of ... | |
| WHY CABLES MATTER! +1 ☝ Exactly. Imagine evaluating different chefs without ever tasting the food. | |
| Recommend me a DAC under 3k @kuhyay did you buy? I see there is no love here for exaSound? Here is an excellent post: https://audiophilestyle.cayre-codex-lampizator-amber-schiit-yggy-exasound-e32-and-ayre-qx-5-dac-comparison Oh, and exaSound provides a 30 day trial for th... | |
| Puritan PSM156 Not sure why this is in the cable sub-forum, but anyway -I did plenty of reading before upgrading my power conditioner, here are some good reads: I bought the PSM156 and am extremely satisfied with the improvements PSM136/156 Niagara vs PSM | |
| Power Cables on Subwoofers do Matter Congratulations @ciprian on jumping over that hurdle. For many this is a huge leap. Like me you now must be enjoying more realism in your music, and unfortunately less money in the bank account. This awesome thread deserves a bump :) | |
| Will increasing speaker cable AWG make a difference in sound quality? @danager Dude, that information is 43 years old. The US didn’t ban new asbestos building products for another 9 years after that article was written. We have learned much since then. |
