| Audio nonsense Audiophiles seem to want to believe that little doodads can transform their systems and improve whatever it is they believe needs improving. Doodad manufacturers are all too ready to take advantage. Vintage examples here and here, and present day ... | |
| Survey on Cost of Loudspeakers Supported On Townshend Seismic Isolation Podiums Aerial LR5 - $11K inc. Sound Anchor Signature stands. 175 lbs each when mounted on the stands. Decoupled using springs but not Townshend platforms. I am curious why speaker cost has anything to do with it. It is more about making your speakers... | |
| Anyone using a LAN isolator? Thanks. Was it a smooth transaction/good seller? How about the switch, can you hear any difference between the OCXO clocked silent switch and others like Bonn or English Electric? | |
| Anyone using a LAN isolator? @thyname - Where did you purchase your SILENT SWITCH OCXOs? Did you find a seller in the in the USA or did you need to order them from Hong Kong/Asia? | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... @sns , The Ediscreation FIBER BOX II is an optical isolation solution not unlike using fiber and two FMCs, but somewhat less clunky as it is contained in a single box. I suspect it would work well right in front of the ENO. They also make the SI... | |
| starting equiment that ic cold from being shipped I too am in the upper Midwest and just yesterday received new electronics from Hattor. They were on the truck 3 extra days due to the snow slowing delivery. They were cold when I unpacked them so I let them reach room temperature over 5-6 hours - ... | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... In my experimentation/complete overhauling of my copper to fiber LAN, there was never a marring out of details. My experience too. I had switched back to 45 feet of Ethernet over the weekend and just switched back to fiber. Even with the t... | |
| Question about Class A IME, in addition to higher heat and lower efficiency, there are also sonic trade-offs between Class A and Class AB amplification. After extended living with both, IMO it is not so much about one being better than another but more about selecting t... | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... @debjit_g This recent exploration of my streaming set-up all started because I purchased the ENO Ag and a Network Acoustics network cable. A member here alerted me to this unit being for sale and I was fortunate to jump on it quickly. I have a... | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... In working through my network connections, I have recently done some reading on switches. The more I read, the more skeptical I become about what is being marketed and sold as an "audiophile" switch, and the high prices of these switches. The th... | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... Been listening and comparing the sound through Roon with: DejaVu server connected directly to the EVO B4B DAC using USB (DejaVu is core and player), and DejaVu connected by Ethernet to the Metrum Ambre and then by AES/EBU to the EVO B4B DAC (D... | |
| Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming @peter_s Does anybody know whether one can disassemble the cables from the clips, run them through smaller holes, and then reassemble onto the clips? The answer is yes - that is what I did. Here you go. | |
| Tidal vs Qubuz - Steely Dan "Jack of Speed" I have had Tidal for a couple of years and Qobuz for the past month. I signed up for a year of Qobuz after the free trial. I agree with @jjss49 who said: i think both services sound very good, though subtly different However, I would not asc... | |
| Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming As described, this is a simple and inexpensive solution for connecting an audio server to a home network that offers the benefit of immunity to RFI/EMI (except at the converters). My run is 45 feet long and I am using this fiber into two of these... | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... When using my DejaVu server as the Roon core and the Metrum Ambre as the Roon player, I wonder what the effect would be to move the ENO between the DejaVu and the Ambre, instead of having the ENO on the upstream side of the DejaVu where it is now?... |
