| Thin Walled Speakers -Tonian, Musical Affairs, etc Cluxa,Nicely put. I recall reading a review of the Tonian Tl-D1s and the reviewer went on to say that although it may not be accurate, it was very convincing which made it so enjoyable to listen to. It kind of mirrors what you say about them. I st... | |
| Does the Quality of the USB cable matter? There's been so much discussion about 'it being only 1s and 0s' here and on other sites. It's true if all you're doing is faxing a document or printing a photo but music is much more complicated, not to mention the many and varied platforms that i... | |
| Thin Walled Speakers -Tonian, Musical Affairs, etc It would be impossible to do as you suggest but I bet that's not what the designer was aiming for. The same can be said for very inert cabinets since they, too, cannot cover all the bases. And they don't. Otherwise there would be a formula, of sor... | |
| Best DAC for $500 Schiit Bifrost+1I've only tried a couple of DACs in my system but after inserting the Bifrost, my room felt crowded. I never thought I'd use that word to describe a product but there it is.Every player had equal billing. Prominence on the right an... | |
| Does the Quality of the USB cable matter? You will get different responses from different camps on whether cables make any difference. I hear a difference in USB cables. It's not as dramatic as other types of cables but it's enough, for me, to justify the extra cost.I, too, use a 5 meter ... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? Fascinating.I always thought that it was a theory but as long ago as 1919 there was proof that light does bend due to strong gravitational forces. I need a new rock to live under. One with a better view. | |
| Do you believe in Magic? Bryon,I just had to mention that I now understand, anew, and appreciate your "those who confuse the Obscure with the Profound" mini treatise. It ties up lots of theories (conspiratorial and the like) that permeate our lives. And I do believe it is... | |
| cable burning Maybe the resistor wasn't properly reattached? Something missed in addition to the resistor? Hard to say as this is way over my pay grade. | |
| Audiophile Truth 26 For snake oil to work there's usually a happy customer (shill) harking the benefits in front of a crowd. The shill is always in on the act. Are we to say that people who have tried it and agree that there is a positive effect are in on it? Or that... | |
| Start PC music Server from Scratch I agree that the Centrance DACmini is great.I have one. But I moved it back to my computer desk top rig to play through my Audioengine A2s after I got the Schiit Bifrost DAC. The Bifrost is a better DAC: bigger soundstage, deeper bass, better arti... | |
| NAD M3 owners, your assistance is requested I have a stepped attenuator in my Burson PI-160 integrated and the clicks and pops are normal. Sometimes I get a loud 'crack' and have been told that this is a normal by product of a stepped attenuator.You're breaking a contact and making it anew ... | |
