| Output from Mola Mola preamp to Headphone Amp? Thanks all for the pragmatic advice. @hifihandyman problem is I don’t want to be connecting and disconnecting my source all the time - cable termination wear and tear paranoia on expensive gear and cables etc… Mola Mola also got back to me and sa... | |
| DCS Sending Legal Notice To Reviewer (Golden Sound) Over an Old Review of Their Bartok DAC My highly limited legal knowledge would indicate that for DCS to seek a “remedy” in court, they would have to prove that financial and reputation damages were incurred directly as a result of the alleged false statements. If I am right on this (n... | |
| DCS Sending Legal Notice To Reviewer (Golden Sound) Over an Old Review of Their Bartok DAC I felt that Goldensound presents his case very clearly and substantiated with evidence. BUT - I think there is one considerable discrepancy between the accounts of each party. Goldensound asserts that he was not alerted to the specifics of what D... | |
| Did anyone return a PSAudio Powerplant? Why? @curiousjim I didn’t hear anything from ASR, loll…. It was Paul of PS Audio who agreed that Power Plants increase noise (“this is absolutely true”), in one of his videos. He then explained that Power Plants offer a benefit not by decreasing ... | |
| Did anyone return a PSAudio Powerplant? Why? I’ve not used Power Plants before but from Paul McGowan of PS Audio’s videos, the Power Plants do not reduce AC Noise. In fact, he even corroborated Audio Science Review’s finding that Power Plants actually increase noise! Paul describes the bene... | |
| Innuos Zen mk3 NG and Zenith mk3 NG introduced at Munich Wow I expected that Innuos was working on a refresh on their Zen / Zenith / Statement line but never expected this pricing. Expecting the new Statement replacement to go way up too. Speculating they will keep the Statement power supply and upgrade... | |
| Anyone bought a Gryphon Diablo 333? @62truck , I was curious about the Puritan as there was one in the system when I was auditioning my Audiovector R6’s. And a friend was recommending it as well. So that was it really. I think both the Torus and Puritan are great, however I perso... | |
| Anyone bought a Gryphon Diablo 333? Hi @62truck, great to hear from you and congrats on the A5’s! I am enjoying my Mola Mola Makua and Gryphon Essence immensely as well. I ended up moving to a Puritan PSM-156 instead of the Torus. They both were quite good and the Torus may have p... | |
| Synergistic Purple Fuse - Aftet 1 Year of Use @tomcy6 I would agree that would be a possibility if not for the fact that now, a year later, the fuses add a distinctly different character than I at least perceived they added initially… | |
| Best DAC’S $5k to $15k One thing about the Tambaqui is that I think some people write it off too fast. I too was not sure at first, until I realized it really, really needs a full 24 hours to warm up from standby. At first, I just wasn’t getting the dynamic impact and... | |
| Best DAC’S $5k to $15k I have a Tambaqui and love it (also owned the Merason DA1 Mk1 which is fantastic at a lower price, but not as high performing as the Tambaqui as you’d expect). I wanted to go to separates from my Diablo 300 integrated, but I didn’t want to add an... | |
| Townshend Isolation Products. I’ve used Herbie’s (Tender Feet, Big Fat Dots, Spike Decoupling Gliders for speakers), all to great effect. I tried IsoAcoustics Oreas under my amp and other components and returned them. I’ve now tried Townshend Pods under my Tambaqui DAC and now... | |
| Anyone bought a Gryphon Diablo 333? @kennyc yes the Mola Mola gear all looks to be top notch. I was only willing to take a gamble on the preamp based on my experiences having owned the standalone Tambaqui which has been fantastic, feeding my Diablo 300 as a standalone DAC and witho... | |
| Anyone bought a Gryphon Diablo 333? @ricky64 , not sure if you’ve read the same, but I’ve read quite a few articles stating why DAC’s with digital volume controls going direct to amplifiers will lack dynamics, depth, and body, while being “edgy”. Christiaan from HiFi Advice has an ... | |
| Anyone bought a Gryphon Diablo 333? @62truck , I received the reterminated Dragon back and installed it last night, and my system performance went down - there was a loss in clarity and dynamics vs the stock cable. I replaced the stock cable to be sure, and noticed that the bass wa... |
