| why expensive streamers Within the context of my digital music playback system, which involves using Roon to stream Tidal and Qobuz, and to play stored music files, my hierarchy of differences I hear is: Server/Roon core: almost no differences heard between servers ... | |
| why expensive streamers Why are people spending 1000's on streamers? No idea, but I will be interested to learn why. I recently had to change out my server, and found that pretty much whatever server I used had virtually no impact on the sound of my system. But when ... | |
| Time heals all wounds? After reading the review link I posted, I understand why I kept and used them in various systems for over 40 years! I now sort of want to get the 3140 serviced and find somewhere to use it. | |
| New DAC issues Can a DAC just be incredibly lean? Yup, it can, and some people will like it, but horses for courses. Buying high priced gear, with positive reviews, from a well-respected manufacturer is not a guarantee that you are going to like how it sound... | |
| Time heals all wounds? Is there a market for old/vintage NADs? (no, not those "old nads"!) Integrated amp with phono stage, power amp, and tuner, all from the way early days (early 80's), all work, and they could use a good home where they are appreciated. | |

| USB decrapifiers I have never been able to hear much or any difference when trying different types of Ethernet or USB "decrapifiers" but I do like what the Singxer SU-6 DDC does for my system. I originally tried it so that I would not be limited to the USB only o... | |
| Full loom of the same cable brand vs mixing and matching. Whatever sounds good to you. Just don't overthink it or overpay for it. | |
| Morrow Audio Speaker Cables There is a lot of information in the threads on this site. I entered "Morrow Audio Speaker Cables" in the forum search and there are over 500 posts you can check out. You can sort them by relevance or date. You can also read about their design ... | |
| Best DAC’S $5k to $15k @nyev I ultimately found the Mojo Audio DACs to sound more musical to me than others I have tried in my system, including the Tambaqui. However, based on what I have read about the Merason DAC 1 mk2, that is one I would like to try if I had the... | |
| Best DAC’S $5k to $15k Absolutely, listen to the Mola Mola. It is the most perfect sounding DAC I have had in my system, but not the most musical, IMO, and so I sold mine. However, even if you decide you like something better, it is so good that hearing it in your syst... |
