| Supra Cat 8 Ethernet cable I have a two story house, with my router in my office, next to my dedicated music room. The house is wired with CAT 5e ethernet cable. My MSB Discrete DAC and music server are connected to the network. For the music to get to my DAC, it must go d... | |
| Comments re: MSB Director upgrade cost, additional hardware and cables @jjss49 , i upgraded my Analog to the Discrete. The Discrete has more resolution and a better soundstage width. But the Analog had better soundstage depth. I am very happy with the Discrete, but to my ears anyway, the Analog is a great DAC and w... | |
| Magico A3 vs. Wilson SabrinaX I have the Sabrina X’s powered by the Pass Labs 250.8. The Pass gives them all of the power that they need and mine sound both detailed and dynamic. Remember, what any speaker sounds like is also dependent on the rest of the system and cabling, ... | |
| Dan D'Agostino S250 MxV enough power for Wilson Audio Alexia V I use a Pass Labs 250.8 to power my Sabrina X’s, which have similar power demands, with no problem whatsoever! | |
| Wilson Audio Duette Series 3 I have an 11x11 dedicated music room and I use Sabrina X’s, about 2 ft from the wall and about 2.5 ft from each side.They sound fantastic. | |
| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! Listening to YouTube comparison videos is clearly of limited utility. That is not to say that it might be possible to hear differences between two systems playing the same music, four example, but obviously cannot be relied upon for a buying deci... | |
| Absolute Sound's "Reviews" Just once I would like to read a review of a pricey piece of equipment that said that the reviewer couldn’t hear any difference between that and something far less expensive . . . | |
| Vinyl - One Word - WOW!! I must agree with @pcrhkr. I have a decent vinyl collection from "the good old days" in the 70's when it was either vinyl or cassettes. I had a pretty good system back then and cleaned my records before playing them. But now, with a very good d... | |
| Speakers that are good with tubes When I had my Focal Diablo Utopia III's, they loved my PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premier HP amp . . . It was a very good match. | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina X vs Yvette vs Sabrina (Regular) My music room is 11x11x11, untreated. I have Sabrina X's about three feet from the rear wall. They sound great in my small room, and my dealer urged me to get the Sabrina's for my size room over the Sasha DAW, for what its worth! | |
| DAC recommendations I know that this is out of your price range but I love my MSB Discrete DAC with Premier Power Supply, with the Renderer module. If you can find one, the MSB Analog DAC used is in your price range and I thought that the soundstage was phenomenal -... | |
| patricia barber - diana krall - holly cole I wonder how the SACD version compares to the XRCD? Let me know if you want to compare them by PM | |
| I have found out why new cables and tweaks actually work! @immatthewj, LOL! But way too extreme. If you're wrong, there's no going back from eye-gouging! I would try something like removing earwax first, and see how that works. Or you can walk around the house with an eye mask on for a few days and s... | |
| What's the oddest thing in your music collection? Oddest thing . . . Hmmm, I would have to say that "An Evening With Wild Man Fischer" produced by Frank Zappa has to be up there in the running! | |
| patricia barber - diana krall - holly cole I can't say much about either Diana Krall or Patricia Barber live, but I can say that Diana Krall's albums are generally magnificently recorded, especially Live in Paris and Love Scenes. Patricia Barber . . . another artist that I would love to s... |
