| Best 6NS7 Preamp for a Pass Labs XA25 amp Dehavilland Ultraverve, I used one for a few years. Excellent open, airy sounding preamplifier. | |
| Review of Legacy Audio Signature SE and dealer Audio Doctor Actually that might very well be a room null issue. Have you checked your room acoustics? You can download an app called DB Meter for iOS which is very good. In which proper placement might be the issue as well as dampening. | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @david_ten did you move away from the Tekton and T+A system? | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? Makes zero difference. | |
| R2R Dac choices. Yes, it’s based on a chipset rather than discrete resistors. | |
| R2R Dac choices. You won't go wrong with Metrum IMO. And if you only have a digital front end, ie, you don't need source selection, Adagio or Jade would be fine. The less devices in the chain the better IMO. | |
| Besides Aja and zeppelin pressings, what others are demo level recordings? MusicMatters Blue Note stereos, Analogue Production jazz pressings, Dire Straits albums, originating Blue Notes in good conditions, Bill Evans. | |
| Anything wrong with PS Audio DirectStream DACs? oh no no, "burn in" by all means, hell do it for 75000 hours. the sound will be so exquisite it's as if maidens from Asgard have come down and are singing to you. | |
| Difference Between DAC Types Any good dac is suitable for all types of music. If a dac doesn't sound good with particular genres of music, then its not a good dac. NOS R2R dacs sound different than Delta Sigma dacs but that's more of a preference issue than anything else. | |
| Anything wrong with PS Audio DirectStream DACs? He has to let it burn in for a year? And then compare? | |
| USB printer cable VS USB audiophile grade cable? So in theory, using the audiophile cable to connect the printer should also yield higher fidelity, did anyone confirm this? Does the printer print out higher resolution text and graphics using the "audiophile" cable? | |
| Forking from the cables thread to a discussion of whether hi-res is audible..... ”the human ear is the highest resolution device known to humanity for hearing discernment.”of course not, most animals have better hearing. why not take the test non anonymously and publish the results here, by contacting the blogger? | |
| Metrum Onyx versus Metrum Pavane I would spend bulk of the budget on speakers, and then a very good source. At this level, Onyx is certainly not going to be the limiting factor. | |
| Dynaudio C4 old stock discounted I’d be worried if they were 40 years old. You realize people keep audiophile electronics for 20 to 50 years right? They change hands yeah but they survive. Else what are you paying for exactly? The wood finishing? | |
| Eastern Electric out of business? Best of luck, love my Minimax phonostage!!! |
