| Oyaide, Hubble, FIM etc, any consensus on flavors? Chadeffect, i had two heaters going 24/7 ( well mostly) for more than a month on these two lines. how much longer you think? Thx | |
| Oyaide, Hubble, FIM etc, any consensus on flavors? Blindjim, don't let my experience discourage you in your quest for experimentation. If it helps, I should add that I really think Oyaide duplexes were not the culprit but it very well could be the new 20 amp lines changed the tonal balance more ra... | |
| Oyaide, Hubble, FIM etc, any consensus on flavors? Chad effect said: ..." But there is that audiophile illness whispering in my ear "imagine how good it will sound if..." LOL! So true. My system was perfect (to my taste)and I thought "imagine how good it will sound if" I have 20 amp dedicated line... | |
| Are Dust Covers a MUST "I like it with cover on"I should add, 'thus far'. As I am still experimenting. I just got cover (custom shape) made and delivered on Christmas Eve. BTW my cover rests on TT plinth/stand. May be the cover acts as acoustic receiver and adds/impacts... | |
| Are Dust Covers a MUST I like dust cover primarily for protection from Dust, prying hands or accidents.As far as sound with the dust cover on,in my experience, it definitely changes the sound towards warmer side. If you had edge before, it would likely go away. If you h... | |
| Dedicated lines- need break in? Thanks for the tip, Rwwear. Yes, I am using heavy duty cords (Orange) and turn them off during night and when no one is around. It might take a bit longer but a lot safer. | |
| Dedicated lines- need break in? Bill, I did install the 'audio grade' face plates along with duplexes. I am sure your comment is tongue in cheek as usual. I happen to buy two duplexes and the audio grade housing and the 'composite' face plate about a year and half ago when I rea... | |

| What is the best DAC ever made? Just update to my post above. I have settled on the Zanden Transport and Zanden DAC signature since last two years. I also use the Zanden DAC with the Kalista Transport (no longer have the c2a signature DAC) but the best digital sound for my prefe... | |
| Phono stages belong to which tier? Add Zanden 1200 Mk 2 (or 3) to the list. In my book surely a top tier contender. Some other very good mentions aboveIn old phono stages Vendeatta Research was/is also an out standing performer, so much that it could belong in upper tiers. | |

| Detailed sound? Real? I should add that having this good timed thread will help me 'not be foolish, again' and make me not to buy the expensive cable that I am currently auditioning, even though there is absolutely nothing wrong with my current cable! | |
| Detailed sound? Real? This thread is perfect timed for me as I am auditioning a phono cable and going thru this puzzle one more time. Un amplified Live music to me is detailed up close (close miked or front center) and not so at mid row 20. I have listened to live both... | |
| Do you ever wonder? Shadorne, That was great, thanks. Ugh, I need a cigarette. |
