| Advice on Optical Ethernet Conversion SGC currently has sale pricing on the opticalModule. You can also simply use this switch near your router and output the 40 feet of fiber. I own both and currently only use the switch to run 45 ft. of fiber into my Signature Rendu SE Optical. I ... | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC I appreciate the effort by LTA to burn in the Aero unit at the factory and then verify it performs as advertised/expected. I believe this is important for a company offering a 14-day audition/return period. We discussed that I currently own (and... | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC @teajay - Have you heard the Merason DAC 1 MkI or MkII? If yes, any thoughts compared to the (half the price) LTA Aero? Michael Lavorgna currently has the LTA Aero DAC in his Barn for review (pending) and has also reviewed the Merason, so I also ... | |
| Is D for Dry? Class D... There is always new product hype - e.g., according to TAS, AGD has "unobtainium" GAN transistors that only Alberto Guerra has access to, and "everyone else in the industry is using GAN devices that were not specifically built for audio". The audi... | |
| Is D for Dry? Class D... Audiophiles really, really want Class D amplifiers to sonically rival Class A and AB designs. What’s not to like, small size, low power consumption, low heat generation, and relatively high power output with low distortion. The same 10 Audio revie... | |
| JBL's Marketing Blunder.. @larsman +1 the ad is not aimed at audiophiles! @cleeds Almost all of the Youtubers can be safely ignored. Yup - their opinions at least. I do need them occasionally when I have to figure out how to do something. @deep_333 - Awesome YouT... | |
| Do different speaker stands can really make a big sound improvement? Here you go...in white oak these look to be TonTrager'ish, and a good deal. | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC Michael Lavorgna reviewed the LAIV Harmony DAC on his Twittering Machines website. He said good things about the Harmony DAC in his review, and particularly for the price. He happened to have the LTA Aero DAC in his Barn for review at the same t... | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC My comment about the wait was based on my conversation with the owner, Mr. Mark Schneider a little over a week ago. I went ahead and placed my order as soon as we finished our discussion that day. The confirmation email indicated: "Lead time for... | |
| JBL's Marketing Blunder.. I agree with @roxy54, and I don't understand the outrage. I didn't have the impression that the girls were being portrayed as idiots. The ad seemed to target young buyers who want an easy, set it and forget it, audio solution that interfaces wit... | |
| JBL's Marketing Blunder.. Apparently Gen Z. | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC I had the Aqua La Scala II DAC (not Optologic) in my system for a while some years ago and eventually sent it back. There was nothing specific that I didn’t like about it and I believe my comparison was with the Metrum Pavane, which I kept. I sort... | |
| Network Acoustics Eno2 It seems the game plan of small box companies is to keep coming out with new small boxes. I owned eno and muon and can't really say either made a difference, and certainly not meaningful. I do use optical isolation both by using converters out o... | |
| Looking to downsize and for suggestions for amp(s) You have really nice amps that provide the power you need for your 87dB speakers, and that you like the sound of. Is it really necessary to change? They are not Class A so there shouldn’t be too much heat and it seems they would do fine in an open... | |
| Do different speaker stands can really make a big sound improvement? The list of frivolous stuff that audiophiles convince themselves as making a meaningful sonic difference seems endless. I don't understand how a flimsy stand would improve the sound of a speaker with a flimsy cabinet (Stradivarius, yeah right). ... |
