| Preamp/DAC Suggestions “Folks using DACs with volume controls as the best solution are far between. To do this and have great sound is very expensive and requires extreme knowledge and dedication to do it.” Far from it. What is so hard, it’s actually easier to eliminat... | |
| Streamer creates a Wow experience If you are using usb to your dac, your sq will always be flawed, it doesn’t matter how many tweaks/gimmicks you add to make usb sound better. | |
| Magico M9 a ton of weight and a million dollar price tag $750,000 Why would somebody mention B&W speakers in the same breath as Magico? No comparison, Magico’s cheapest floorstanding speaker sounds better than the B&W Nautilus IMO | |
| Tekton haters and bashers you just got a new target! CM is back under a new name. | |
| Paypal...buyer protection fees didnt help me This is the 1st time that I heard PayPal was for the seller, 99.9999% of the time PP will side with the buyer. The 1st issue is on your shoulders because you waited 1 week to do anything and this put you in a bind. Say I am the seller, how do I ... | |
| PS Audio BHK 600 Who listens to jasonbourne52? He’s never owned a quality product but has a negative response to things he has never heard before. His response is more in line with responses you get on the ANA audiophool site. | |
| Go get out your pitchforks, I’ve done a sacrilegious thing. . . Had an equalizer in the 80’s and 90’s, tried to use it for each song and it was a waste of time. I’d be adjusting the equalizer during the song and the song was either over or near over and my equalizer would be tuned, so I really didn’t hear the ... | |
| Music Server/DAC – Ethernet, USB, S/PDIF, AES3 or I2S. Usb is a flawed connection to a dac no matter what. You can buy all the reclockers/tweaks that you want to clean up the signal but in the end, it’s still bad. Your better dacs give you better options than usb. If you look at some of the better dac... | |
| Is it me or new audio gear is too perfect and give ear fatigue? Talk about noise, vinyl has more noise than digital, and with every vinyl play, it gets worse. I want it dead quiet, no pops, no scratchiness that vinyl produces. I got rid of all my vinyl for these and other reasons. If digital is producing nois... | |
| Is it me or new audio gear is too perfect and give ear fatigue? Nothing is too perfect. You have vendors and listeners that like analytical sounding gear, and most others don't. There are many vendors that pair warm sounding gear with their products to take some of the bite out, other vendors don't. 2 examples... | |
| Price Isn't Always Indicitive of Quality or Performance I never liked silver cable. Copper is more full range/warmer sounding side of things compared to silver which is more analytical/cooler sounding. Some people like a more analytic sounding system, I don’t | |
| I am taking a survey It’s ok 3.5 | |
| low bass response Your speakers are not the problem, your room and it’s contents are IMO. If you like nearfield listening, try moving your speakers on the long wall, way away from that large cabinet. You will be able to move the speakers out from the wall and you ... | |
| Many higher end preamps are dated and ugly, why is this? Seems like you want to impress friends rather than have good sq. Who cares what a preamp looks like, it’s the sound that counts. IMO, what you called high end preamps are just ok in my book, and some of the preamps you stated as ugly or weird are ... | |
| Almost equality I wanted be nice, but I second about the benchmark dac, it is a POS imo, like listening to somebody scratching a chalk board. If you like the benchmark, you will really like the sound of a quality dac |
