| Check This Out! Any updates on the Cinnamon Galle? Were they at AXPONA? I was poking around and realized Less Loss in Lithuania had done something similar with their Echo’s End DACs (linked) - i.e., using a bunch of laser-trimmed surface-mount resistors (SMD) i... | |
| Second streamer in a Roon system. "Digital for analogue brains" If your SGC server running Roon core is connected to your network, all you should need is another Roon endpoint (could be as simple as a Raspberry pi unit) that is also connected to your home network and that feeds a DAC which outputs an analog si... | |
| Shakti Stone @devinplombier - Thanks, I didn’t know that about viewing text with links - those show in a blue color on my screens. However, I also imagine some who are color insensitive would not see them. Regarding the site, it would also be nice to be able... | |
| Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000? @unclewilbur - Take your time and do your research. You may not get it perfect on the first swing. Most of us didn't. Consider how you want to interact with your system as some of the server products are more difficult to interface than others.... | |
| Shakti Stone @lanx0003 - Did you not see this link? | |
| Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000? @unclewilbur - Below is a basic overview. At your price points, I recommend looking at these guys for reasonably priced servers and streamers. Their support is good and their servers are configured to directly rip/upload your CDs when connected ... | |
| Shakti Stone Stoned since 1995! What it does: "Shakti Stone eliminates/minimizes external EM field exposure" How it works: US patent 5.84.761 explains it all and includes exploded views for even more clarity. Basically the Stone is an EMI dissipation or... | |
| Townshend Audio Seismic Podiums Review @prof - Curious, did you perceive a change in the tonal balance when using the Fat Gliders like you did with the Townshend springs? | |
| Townshend Audio Seismic Podiums Review @prof - I quit using springs too, but for different reasons. Hockey pucks are vulcanized rubber and I have read that some like them for loudspeaker support. If you like those, you might also consider Herbie's Audio Lab Giant Fat Dots or Giant Fa... | |
| Belden 8402, 8412, and 8428 @decooney "is it rounding the top end -or- allowing more of the midrange, mid bass, and lower bass to come through? I still hear plenty of detail on top, its just smoother, less grain, with more weight and body to the presentation." Exactly.... | |
| Belden 8402, 8412, and 8428 This cable stuff is infuriating. Just when I think I have it sorted, I try something else (that I have tried before) and I like those better. Today, it is back to the (stinky) Cardas Golden Reference. They do a lot things well and their only anom... | |
| Shakti Stone Here you go, everything you always wanted to know about using Shakti Stones. What they don’t tell you is that when purchased used, Shakti Stones are like a crypto haven for your money - they are still selling for the same $100 they sold for 20 ye... | |
| Soeaker cables technologic dilema… @milimetr - run them as a twisted pair or cross-connected quad - that is why they design them that way. | |
| Belden 8402, 8412, and 8428 @climbereg - As a high level summary, my opinion is that all of the tinned copper Belden varieties displayed the rich midrange-centric "real sound" discussed by Jeff Day and Mr. Shirokazu Yazaki of SPEC Corporation in the Jeff Day blog here and he... | |
| Soeaker cables technologic dilema… @milimetr - Not clear if you are talking about a double run of the 3005 in a bi-wire configuration where one pair goes to the MF/HF posts and one pair to the LF posts, or two separate runs with both wires inside of one jacket going to one polarity... |
