| Holo May KTE Power Cord @pinwa - I am not suggesting you settle. By your own words, the sonic attributes you value are displayed through your current DAC and PC. Many around here never get that far. You have tried other PCs but none yet have sounded better to you. W... | |
| Holo May KTE Power Cord @pinwa the rich tonality and timbre that the Forte F3 is giving me. Acoustic guitar or a single drum stroke or bass pluck have a kind of plumpness with the Forte F3 that I am in love with. And the Forte F3 also strikes me as a bit more dynami... | |
| Holo May KTE Power Cord You probably like the sound of your Audience Forte F3 cord because of the large sized (10awg) copper conductors and noise rejecting geometry (usually means twisted conductors). The literature does not mention shielding. The specs are more in line ... | |
| Quick question for the Cables Don't Make a Difference Crowd. Why is there so much concern here about what other people do? | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC @teajay - Thanks for bringing the Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC to our attention. I have just started the process of comparing five different DACs I have here in the $4K to $10K price range, with the Aero being the least expensive. I am also using... | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC Thanks for the heads up @wig The LTA Aero has been burning in for a couple of days and, after a frustrating week of dealing with customs, the Merason is scheduled to be delivered this afternoon. By running the USB output from my Sonore Signatur... | |
| Scout's Honor No Internet Search R n' R Triva questions (4) Buddy Holly died in a plane crash after playing a show at the Surf Ballroom, a super-cool venue in Clear Lake, Iowa, that we ride past every few years on a bicycle ride across Iowa. The day the music died. | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC The LTA Aero arrived today. Unfortunately, the Merason DAC 1 MkII has been held up in customs only two hours from me for a week now. The LTA Aero was extremely well-packaged and super easy to set up. It sounds good right out of the gate. Very ... | |
| Spades vs. Banana plugs ?? If Furutech, WBT et al start making $500 Speakon connectors, they may yet become the audiophile standard. Are you in marketing? What a great idea! Create a new "audiophile standard" that almost nobody currently uses so that almost everybody w... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Tedeschi Trucks Band, August 10, 2024, Wings Stadium, Kalamazoo Margo Price opened. This is definitely one I would not miss. The 11-person band was excellent and it was fun to see Tyler Greenwell and JJ Johnson on two drum kits - Allman Brothers... | |
| Are all streamers the same? @jji666 makes a good point about there being a difference between a server and a streamer. In the Roon world, the server operates Roon Core and selects and/or stores music files while the streamer (or Roon endpoint) interfaces with a DAC. All se... | |
| Spades vs. Banana plugs ?? @terry9 - The observation was not about allowing your connections to become corroded, which is never a good thing, but rather the irony that a group who mostly believe that every small detail can significantly impact the sound of a system would se... | |
| Spades vs. Banana plugs ?? True, there are exceptions, but almost always the “flagship” model at a high price. The Audioquest you mention, Furutech 202 series, Neotech NC-01675RH and maybe a couple of others are copper or have a copper center pin, but the majority are bras... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship Wow, that Musetec MH-DA006 Flagship DAC is a nice looking DAC with a great looking display, well regarded component choices like Mundorf and Duelund caps, and good specs like total harmonic distortion + noise < -120dB, and dynamic range > 12... | |
| Spades vs. Banana plugs ?? Based on the discussion here, more seem to prefer banana connectors than spades. I find that interesting in that banana connectors are almost always made from a much less conductive metal than copper due to the inherent lower stiffness of copper... |
