| Audience SX2/Front Row Cables...has anyone tried or heard much of this new reference line? It goes to show that one cannot just look at specs and determine whether a particular cable will sound best. Front Row uses "just" OCC copper and a PTFE dielectric: (cross linked). No silver, no graphene, no network box or other special sauce unli... | |
| Zavfino prima mk2 speaker cables @painter24 you definitely have the speakers to communicate the differences in cables. Let us know how you get on with them 😉 | |
| why expensive streamers In summary, the science, my experience, and actual measurements tell me the same thing. A competent streamer should not be a source of audible noise; I am convinced that any differences we hear are either due to differences in signal processing ... | |
| Back to the DAC @navyachts not odd at all, many like the more "coloured" sound. It does take some getting used to, and myself I have enjoyed the purity of the sound without a pre over the recent years, but have recently purchased a primaluna evo 400 pre to toy ar... | |
| Power filtering – Furutech or Puritan Audio? Here is another reason to go with Puritan: I bought a groundmaster for my PSM156 4 months ago, and finally got around to driving in a 6' ground rod, fishing some solid core copper along the joists, down the wall, etc. and hooked it up. Does my P... | |
| Power filtering – Furutech or Puritan Audio? I think the REF I5i is made by Furman, not Furutech... Sounds like you are enjoying the PSM 156 (not PMS!). 🤣 | |
| Sound Quality @upstateaudiophile funny, just before I read your post I read this one: you may find it interesting cd vs streaming edit: don't know if that link worked- it is the post by @jmeyers on June 1 | |
| Back to the DAC @jmeyers 👍 | |
| Back to the DAC Definitely try the M1S2 direct to your amplifier. That might be a revelation. Yes, let us know how you like the "more direct" sound. I'm done for now, thanks to you all for your help & support on my audio journey, time to sit back and e... | |
| 12 wire compared to Nordost Blue Heaven Speaker Cable? 3. roxy54 I came here with no conception of "fake cables!" The "shame" here should be upon those who flared at me for asking a civil question. I can't believe anyone is this thick. This must be a hoax. | |
| Power cable for AQ Niagara 5000 @cjlundberg thread is almost 4 months old- what did the OP end up doing? | |
| Tube amps under $7500 I wished I would had listened years ago when someone suggested to me MCintosh ,ARC or CJ as a preamp. I kiss a lot of frogs on my journey.Listen to the words of wisdom @ghdprentice he is like the good cool uncle at the bbq .One of my bigges... | |
| 12 wire compared to Nordost Blue Heaven Speaker Cable? @ristrettox6 The Blue Heaven cables were $29 here= https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804265444804.html?src=google&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa Yeah, those are not Nordost Blue Heaven cables. But hey, let us know if they sound better than you... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords I would also wager that any guy walking off the street to hear your rig is not some trained listener and golden ear bat...Sounds like poor quality test subjects to me. @deep_333 For what its worth, this poor quality subject has just acquired ... | |
| Dedicated mains supply unexpected result Aluminum is for cans! Copper is for electrical wire and pennies. Not so, they are using aluminum cables for distribution lines and connections from the street to the houses, at least where I live in BC. And there isn’t much copper in pennies th... |
