| Chinese DAC's 100% POLITICAL response disguised through projection! | |
| SACD Player/Transport Choices There's also the Playback Designs MPT-8 Dream Transport. The perfect name for something that starts at €23,990. All the best, Nonoise | |
| Vinshine X Collaboration with Kinki Studio, TheTai Hang power enhancer Not knowing if I can get one before the May 1st deadline is what made me hesitant. Then I read this morning that a 104% tariff against China will go into effect at midnight tonight so so much for that. No way in hell I'm going to pay just over d... | |
| Problem with CEC transport Check out these Dindiki belts from Germany. They're made out of silicon and are permanently dimensionally stable unlike those black butyl belts which rot and deform. Just scroll down to see your model. All the best, Nonoise | |
| Problem with CEC transport For the prices Audio Union asks for CEC CD players, they should be more accommodating. I almost bought a CDT (forget the model) before I went with my Technics CDP and the price at the time was around $1700. They even had package deal offers with b... | |
| SACD Player/Transport Choices There is a new CDT from Metronome called the DST that can resample 16/44.1 to DSD256 but not SACD. Srajan at 6moons has a preview of it on his site while he waits for the unit to arrive. It's a slot loader who's drive is made by StreamsUnlimited €... | |
| Vinshine X Collaboration with Kinki Studio, TheTai Hang power enhancer I did a quick look online and this that looks well made: Audio DC Blocker One R5 which I believe is made in Australia. The price works out to about $360 US dollars. It has two outlets. All the best, Nonoise | |
| Vinshine X Collaboration with Kinki Studio, TheTai Hang power enhancer It has been released but demand may have emptied out supplies. All the best, Nonoise | |
| Power Cords/ Conditioner/Surge Protectors I used a Brickwall (Zerosurge) for a short while and found it limited dynamics and soundstage compared to going directly into the wall. The same with a Tripp Lite. The AQ Niagara 1200 worked the best with my older gear until I got my Technics inte... | |
| "audiophiles listen to their equipment" I look at it this way: mediocre equipment separates one from the musical event while great equipment brings it to you. The former makes you concentrate on the equipment while the latter frees you from it. It's all a matter of perspective. All it... | |
| Musical Fidelity M6SCD vs Technics SL-G700M2 The reviews on the Technics SL-G700 M2 as a music streamer are up there with the best in regards to sound quality. It's the user interface that gets poor marks. All the best, Nonoise | |
| Standmount speaker suggestion That's the order I put them in as well, but I'm biased from owning the Atalante 3. If I had a bigger space, I'd get the Atalante 5 and if I ever won the lottery, their new Atalante 7. Here's a shot of it: That's a 15" woofer with a -6db @ 23 Hz... | |
| Standmount speaker suggestion I know that You Tube is not the last word in fidelity but with a decent computer setup you can discern differences between models in a controlled setting. Here is a video comparing the Atalante 3, the Dynaudio Evoke 20 and the Totem Signature. Giv... | |
| Vinshine X Collaboration with Kinki Studio, TheTai Hang power enhancer Srajan at 6moons gave it an award and may buy another. Its main purpose is to scrub DC off the line and in so doing, opens up the sound more. He noticed more clarity without any downsides and he's a fiend for clarity. As for comparisons to the P... | |
| Standmount speaker suggestion Revival Audio Atalante 3 monitors. Like you, I've been through speakers trying to find one that isn't bright, that sizzle or etch the sound, drawing attention to themselves and these fit the bill, for me. They're well under your cost limits bu... |
