| 3 things I learned from using MANY interconnect cables Hats off to you for going through so many! I agree on the price thing, disagree on the second point, and can't comment on the third, but see the logic. I think most of the time we're not hoarding cables we didn't already like much in the hope they... | |
| Furutech FP-3TS762 or FP-TCS31 As said above, from my small sample set (basic Wattgates, basic copper Furutechs), I do think you can continue to tweak your sound by changing the connectors over time to different platings. Kind of expensive to do but might give the ultimate syne... | |
| Does any one know a cable that is able to compete with clear day double shotgun? Yeah I’m OCD so I took out a big cable loan from cableco. I mean, a lot of cable stuff is very system dependent. For me it went:1. Audience AU242. Black Cat Morpheus (discontinued, sounded very nice and much cheaper than Audience, but picked up RF... | |
| Question About DACs Think you've made your point, pal! Though nobody is interested in arguing it. | |
| Need to under stand Asynchronous USB Last follow up, trying to improve the USB stick input on the Marantz would be sketchy. It’s going to be one of those USB 1.0 devices like on a cheap blu-ray player, and you’re still connecting to the M51 via coax anyways. I mean, you’re using the ... | |
| Need to under stand Asynchronous USB Oh I get you now, @last_lemming . The Marantz is feeding the contents of your USB drive via coax to the NAD. Like Erik said, for coax, the clock is embedded in the SPDIF data stream from the Marantz. Here the source is the clock master and this si... | |
| New speakers? No thanks. Maybe she's wanting something that looks different, heh. | |
| Paul Hynes Excuses to deliver the power supply SR7 , I Lost my money "If you pay him, he will refund your money" -- what a vouch! I don't think any power supply would be worth the nonsense. | |
| SONIC CRAFT ??? IS THERE REALLY A SONIC CRAFT STORE ??? Madisound and Parts Connexion also have Mundorf caps. Or create a new account. | |
| Does my amp have enough juice to power my speakers? Kind of depends how loud you listen. John Atkinson’s measurements show min impedance of your speakers is 6ohm, which is good, though 84db sensitivity might suggest they want some power. Do you have anything to compare your amp with? | |
| Long XLR cables - DIY construction suggestions? DNM do XLR? I've heard their speaker cable and RCA interconnects. They used solid core conductors separated across plastic ribbon, so won't be very flexible. They didn't sound at all good to my ears, just muddy and veiled, though they're meant to ... | |
| Does any one know a cable that is able to compete with clear day double shotgun? I had Clearday; compared with Black Cat, Goertz MI2, Kimber 8TC, Zu Satori, Audience AU24. Kept the Audience. Clearday had nice tone and fair details. Audience more natural, more defined, more presence, more extended bass. YMMV | |
| Need to under stand Asynchronous USB I have the M51. The USB - the type B - input is async from XMOS. The DAC uses its own clocks. However, it’s been widely agreed from reviews and users (and I concur, also) USB is not the best input for it rather than AES. I tried various USB decrap... | |
| HELP!!! I need a “GOOD-CHEAP” preamp solution??? Um, despite needing a preamp, have you considered different speakers? They have the largest affect on the sound. A generalization but I’ve heard some of the lower end Focals and didn’t like their metal tweeters. I’d find it hard for anyone to say ... | |
| Bookshelf speakers for near-field (desktop) use How much room will there be on this desk from the corners and rear wall? You’re going to get potentially huge (distorting) bass gain from most speakers designed to be free standing.A safer choice might be sealed box or at least front-ported speake... |
