| Do people tire of audio forums? Do people tire of audio forums? Sure, people tire of many things and then re-ignite their interest, if it is something they are passionate about. Your responses below indicate most here believe the good outweighs the bad and that a little more... | |
| Simple device for downsampling? @veroguy - You should call Benjamin to discuss possibilities. He may have some new stuff on his horizon - as usual. | |
| Simple device for downsampling? @veroguy I have not heard anything about SMc having plans to put the DAC-2 into production. You could contact Patrick at SMc directly for more information. The SMc DAC-2 does sound very good to me, but so does the B4B (one of which I previousl... | |
| Roon Aquisition: Will This Help Or Hamper? Anyone know how many lifetime subscription holders there are, and/or as a percentage of total subscribers? Just curious, and happy to have invested early. | |
| Duelund Tinned Copper Speaker Cables Below are the tinned copper options I am aware of. They are all constructed a little different and are available in different gauges. I was not previously aware of Luna. Luna Cables (tinned copper in waxed cotton) Duelund Tinned Copper Speak... | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? Welcome @bob70 Man, I miss the days when I drove an American jalopy - stereo was a Pioneer in-dash with Jensen 6x9s under the package deck - some of the best days of my life! | |
| Duelund Tinned Copper Speaker Cables No cable will totally transform the sound of a system, IMO. I have made quite a few cables with both the WE wire and with the Duelund wire, and a few with the Jupiter wire, and IME they are similar to what people post - sweet but not super-extende... | |
| Duelund Tinned Copper Speaker Cables The Duelund tinned copper speaker cables were introduced as a result of the popularity of folks using NOS Western Electric tinned copper cables, which garnered a following after being written about by Jeff Day in his blog for Positive Feedback a f... | |
| I2S cable recommendations I used I2S to connect my Metrum Acoustics streamer with their DACs and found it interesting that the designer uses an RJ45-type connector rather than the HDMI connector/cable used by Denafrips and most others. The lack of an I2S standard is a lit... | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? @unreceivedogma "If you don’t like $1.2M audio systems, instead of not buying it, change the system that caters to millionaires." "Prices today are a reflection of the (passive, like you maybe?) acceptance of the grossly unequal economic str... | |
| Simple device for downsampling? @brbrock - I started conversing with Steve McCormack about the SMc Audio upgrade possibilities probably 10 years before I actually had them do work for me. In 2012, SMc upgraded a McCormack TLC-1 passive/buffered preamp for me using design featu... | |
| Anyone has a reference system where amplification is SS ? Will that be one 5-minute argument, or a course of 10? | |
| Anyone has a reference system where amplification is SS ? A "reference system" is simply an audio enthusiast’s primary system that they use as a comparison (or a "reference") when auditioning new electronics, speakers, cables, etc. Being one’s "reference" does not necessarily mean the system is anywhere ... | |
| Auralic Vega G2.1 vs Lumin T3 @mgrif104 If you like Roon - be happy with it. It’s clearly the best user experience. Just also know there might be better sound available. The good thing is - you can actually have both. Use Roon for everyday and keep Lighting DS (or whatever ... | |
| Looking for intermediate-step Streamer: better than BS Node and not @ Bartok level pricing @soix - Do you have specific experience with the Innuos Pulse? I ask because I am going down this road and I am interested in the Innuos Pulsar. My only possible drawback is only USB output and that I haven't heard it to assess SQ. Another I a... |
