| Anti-Cables Level 3.1 Reference Series USB Digital I would also be interested in hearing from those who have heard that cable.I can go unpowered and I am currently using the data leg only of the ifi Genesis cableOthers I am considering are about 3 times more money. | |
| Remove musty smell Or, replace the malodorous damping material with new Acousta-stuff from Parts Express, or another of your favorite batting. Also, remove any mice while you are in there :~) | |
| Another UPS Horror Story The best insurance is in the precautions you (or your seller) take in packaging and shipping the item being sold.The Allnic T1500 amp has a shipping weight of 48 pounds and appears to be well constructed but fragile with respect to damage that cou... | |
| favorite independant audio dealers/designers It is hard to beat emailing or calling a manufacturer and talking to someone whose main concern is helping you get the best performance from their gear...especially when that person is the designer of the gear and owner of the company! In my exper... | |
| Fess Up How much have you spent on this Hobby?? Gross or net?Back in the day, I would buy to try. Of course, many here remember that, back then, it was a lot easier to sell gear that didn't work out. Sometimes you could even sell for more than you paid. I am thrilled with the sound of my curren... | |
| Most overrated audio manufacturers? Cannot agree with Lamm being mentioned here. I can see how someone might think of them as overpriced, but not overrated. IMO their high value comes from the sound quality of their gear, which is outstanding, and the length of time their models sta... | |
| Why so many PS Audio DirectStreams for sale? Bill, the Killer is a NOS dac, correct? Those are very musical as I have found with my Hex. I have a Pavane on the way so am looking forward to hearing Metrum's newest NOS implementation using their own DAC chips. I have not heard the DS but would... | |
| Why so many PS Audio DirectStreams for sale? I agree with you Electroslacker.That is why I respect companies that do not subscribe to the flavor of the month club but tend to have product lines that are stable over time.The digital arena is an exception right now because the technology is ch... | |
| How many remember Don Kirshner's Rock Concert? You guys are too much, really Mofi, "Mickey's Big Mouths," been there, enjoyed that. Geeze, we are gettin' so F'in old but this thread makes me want to jump in the convertible and go for a cruise. Joe Walsh is in my book of most underrated. For su... | |
| Class D at low volume I think the audio SMPS has finally developed to a point where it is has a low enough noise floor & can handle large currents in a compact size.The Acoustic Imagery Atsahs use the Hypex/Ncore SMPS 1200 switch mode power supply and in my system ... | |
| Class D at low volume I can echo what is said above by Mapman and Guido as relates to my Ncore NC1200 amps by Acoustic Imagery. Listening at low levels now as it is getting late in the EST zone. | |
| DIY AC Cable advice Good advice from Dgarretson. I happily use the Furutech Alpha 3 cords on my monoblocks, but they are unshielded. For source gear, I suggest Furutech FP-3TS20 or Neotech NEP-3002. Both are shielded and both are made with with PC-OCC copper. I prefe... | |
| Herron M1-1A monobocks, what do you think? Hi Bpoletti, I went back through pics of stuff I have sold and found I was mistaken in my earlier post. The Herron amps I owned were the M1 monos, not his latest M1A monos currently shown on the Herron website. I could find no info by Herron of a ... | |
| Agree or disagree with the following statement. If you have never listened to any particular component, you can't have an opinion on how it sounds.That statement is true. You can have an opinion on how you believe the component will sound but, if you haven't heard it, you cannot speak to the ac... | |
| Herron M1-1A monobocks, what do you think? I will swim against the current here and say I was underwhelmed.Herron Audio is well-respected by all and enjoyed by many but, in my system, while the M1A amps sounded nice, clean, and pure, they did not display the same level of dynamics, impact ... |
