| I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue Yes, great music to listen to in the car. There are quite a few albums I've struggled with until taking them on the road. The albums from Miles Davis's 2nd quintet really landed for me while driving around late at night. Maybe records like BLUE an... | |
| WRT Cables (Chen audio labs ) I've just received one of the power cords. Listened for a few hours last night and all seems promising, very accurate sounding from the start. We'll see after it settles in. Richard suggests at least 48 hours. It is replacing an Audio Envy Ocean b... | |
| Ethernet cables It's been fun and fascinating to hear how one cable can influence the sound of my system. I've owned a couple dozen or so ethernet cables (from $10-$1000) and they all sounded different to me. The Triode Wire Lab FREEDOM is the first cable that I ... | |
| *DAC Well, I've had my Mojo Mystique Y AM dac for a few days. It certainly brings out more of the recording than my ANK 4.1x. I wouldn't say it sounds better but it is more resolving. The Mystique is still settling in so we'll see.. hear. One of my cur... | |
| *DAC Yes, cables can have profound influences on sound quality. I used to think that cables had less impact on the overall sound quality of my systems than a component change. Now, I think of them as a component change. | |
| DAC upgrade The Border Patrol dac might worth consideration. Music is something special through this little gem. Form factor is high. | |
| *DAC No. Not cheap:) But, having been in this hobby for many years I think his prices are more than reasonable. It is easy to make lateral moves in any given price range. I'm not interested in lateral moves these days. I love the sound of my ANK dac an... | |
| *DAC My apologies for being vague. Mojo Audio is the company. Benjamin is the owner's first name:) I just preordered one of his new Mystique dacs. | |
| *DAC I'm in a similar place as you.. very much liking the sound of my system but still considering moves to make for hearing more into the music. I just ordered one of Benjamin's new Mojo Audio dacs after being very impressed with his power cables and ... | |
| BEST little know Jazz Album that you ever heard? Jakob Bro BALLADEERING. | |
| USB Cable Inakustik USB is my favorite so far. | |
| Tuneful Cables by High-End Audio I've had them for years, in and out of various setups. Sometimes underwhelming but most of the time shockingly good. I just put them in again recently following a long stretch listening to KCI Silkworm+ and Audio Tekne interconnects. Now, I'm thin... | |
| Best Tube Amp for High Sensitivity Speakers: 45, PX25, or 300B? I love my Yamamoto 2A3. Hand crafted beauty with soul. Plenty of power with my 96dB speakers. There are 45 and 300B options as well. | |
| Ethernet opinions As far as cables are concerned the best ethernet cable I've experienced in my system is the Omega Micro Ebony. It also happens to be one of the least expensive. Under $100 for 3ft. | |
| Think Its Possible To Order Tubes From the Ukraine? I recently received some NOS tubes from Ukraine that I ordered through an Etsy seller. I wasn't sure whether I would ever see them but thought getting some money to a citizen of Ukraine was worth the small risk on my part. |
