| Qobuz or Tidal? Looked into the Best Buy savings.Must be a My Best Buy member, which I already am.Appears to be half off Tidal HiFi Music ($10/mo), but it appears the reduced price is only for the first year, so it might not be worth reestablishing a new Tidal ac... | |
| Qobuz or Tidal? Thank you @rajivhifi I will look into that. I can always use a steep discount, or a steep downhill, both are good! | |
| Garth Powell on Why Audioquest does not make AC Regenerators @mijostyn - I have a similar connection scheme with similar results, low/no noise and great dynamics. Dedicated lines for two amps and a third dedicated line to an Isoclean filter for all the front-end stuff. No regenerators, etc. Maybe I am lu... | |
| High end streamer/server profound choice I recently went from an Antipodes server to Mojo Audio’s latest DejaVu EVO server and have been very pleased with both of them. Having enough on-board SSD storage for my saved files and working flawlessly with Roon, Tidal, and other streaming serv... | |
| Is D for Dry? Class D... My vote goes to dry, or at least dry'ish and lacking in that last touch of "realness," which better amplifiers are able to convey. For subs and general listening Class D is great, but when compared to better Class A or Class AB amplifiers the NC1... | |
| Your favorite OCC speaker cable @teo_audio - Can you share what Belkin means when they advertise "hybrid-conductor technology"? What is hybrid? Are there a mixture of OCC and OFC wires, a mix of stranded and solid core wire, is the wire tinned or silver plated, is the negative w... | |
| Is anyone in the US making power cables like this custom PC cable ad on the Canadian Mart? Did you compare your DIY with reputable brands? Yes, as I posted below, I still own a pair of $1,300 Isoclean Auto Focus power cords that were favorably reviewed and that I use on my digital gear. The cables I made that sound better on my amplifie... | |
| Is anyone in the US making power cables like this custom PC cable ad on the Canadian Mart? Many of the very expensive cables have also a magic box. What do you think is in it?Maybe stuff like this...that was duplicated by an enterprising DIY'er here.If you want to make a good cable look at anti cables. Their best power cable is $300 and... | |
| Is anyone in the US making power cables like this custom PC cable ad on the Canadian Mart? You think that getting a good sound is just putting a wire and connectors together than you live in a stoneage.Uh, that’s how cable companies start, and short of the folks using special network boxes or maybe special cold weld connection technique... | |
| Is anyone in the US making power cables like this custom PC cable ad on the Canadian Mart? Just be aware the seller did not say the conductors were also made by Furutech, just the connectors. I also like those FI-11 connectors and use them for my own power cables. There are a variety of good bulk power cables you could purchase in ord... | |
| Your favorite OCC speaker cable @hilde45 The phrase "internal bi-wire" refers to having the four bi-wire conductors (HF/MF pos and neg, and LF pos and neg) encased in one cable compared to bi-wiring using two separate cables that each have a single positive and negative conduc... | |
| Your favorite OCC speaker cable I have been partial to HT Pro 9+ or 11+ both of which are made from multiple strands of solid core OCC copper that is individually insulated in foamed PE then surrounded by various layers of (probably superfluous) damping material, PVC, and tech f... | |
| So done with audiophile fuses Curious, did you equalize volume levels using a SPL before your listening tests? | |
| So done with audiophile fuses I knew somebody would come up with a justification for oversized power cords.😎 | |
| Samsung flat screen TV’s Had our 15-year old washing machine repaired a year or two ago. Repairman said, "if you ever want to get something newer, please call me because I have a list of people looking for these." He basically went on to say that some of the newer machi... |
