| Just listened to Street Life by the Crusaders Man, that used to be a Friday night staple back in college. Thanks for the memories. | |
| How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre The Coulomb model of friction is a model for the behavior of frictional forces between two dry solid surfaces in contact. It is basically an explanation of static and kinetic friction, of which the magnitude is a coefficient (mu) multiplied by the... | |
| Bad news for audiophiles? Uh....what do wine and cables have in common?Some are red, and some are white, and they all turn green. | |
| How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre Old and jaded....we are.What flavor is the Kool-aid?Seriously, none of us are immune, or truly above the fray in this hobby. I am glad you are enjoying your new rack. | |
| DAC question Metrum dealer in Russia:http://hi-audio.ru/ | |
| DAC question I don't know the amp but I actually found the M803 SII speakers to sound quite good when I owned a pair, particularly at their price point. Something like the Metrum Hex or Auralic Vega might be a good deal for you if purchased used, and might fit... | |
| Pure Music vs. Audirvana Plus When I was using a tricked out mini as my server, I also found Pure Music to sound more musical with better body and dimensionality than Amara or Audirvana. Later I came to enjoy the flexibility of the onboard parametric EQ in Pure Music. I did no... | |
| Clayton Audio Class A amps. Need amp advice That is good advice Bill K. I owned the M300s for several years and sold them last year. I currently own the Atsah NC1200 monos and a very tricked out McCormack/SMc DNA-2 LAE. So, I have had Class A, Class D and very good Class A/B amps all within... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Agree Jd_df, I sometimes miss the ADS L810s I lived with for 20 years. They were my first and worst trade on the "upgrade path." | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD It would be fun to have several of these top DACs all together for comparison at the same time. I suspect the result would be that the performance of most of these "flagship" DACs would end up more a matter of being "somewhat different but not mea... | |
| Using solid copper Door Bell wire as speaker wire. Smaller gauge wires work fine for speaker cable, you just need to use a lot of them. HT used 19, 24 awg OCC copper wires insulated with air formed polyethylene, per leg, in their Pro-11 plus cable. In their new line of cables, including the new ve... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Bill K, the LaScala is here and making beautiful music. Very early impressions are;1. Good drive, throughout most of the frequency range and particularly in the mid-bass, 2. The treble is clear, smooth, and is just to the good side of "reticent,"3... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Thank you Hifial. I am certainly not opposed to trying something that only costs me $175, especially if it is made for USB connections, which is how I connect my server to my DAC. I will look into this further. | |
| Using solid copper Door Bell wire as speaker wire. Audiolabyrinth, just because some manufacturer pastes their logo on it and puts it in a fancy bag/box/aluminum case, doesn't make it particularly better. Cables consist of copper (or silver) wire, dielectric material, geometry, damping materials, ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hifial, are you talking about the USB REGEN by UpTone Audio? Is this not just a reclocker? Sounds interesting but it seems all this add-on stuff like converters, ifi galvanic isolation, filters, etc. are always supposed to be the next best thing. ... |
