| Preamps can color sound considerably. Surprising? Tube preamps color the sound much more than SS preamps. Why do you hear go with a tube preamp and a SS amp? Every time you roll a different tube in a device you get a different sound. The SS device will sound the way it is forever. | |
| The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them Never trust what Valin says because he is so biased. But, I think it’s funny that analog junkies are changing their tune toward these albums, 1 minute they are praising the sound of these albums and when they hear that DSD is involved in the proc... | |
| Magnepan .7 Alternatives Any other speaker, I just don’t think any Maggie speakers are that good when you want to play a variety of music thru them. I have friends with the 3.x and 20.7’s. For you smaller room and in your budget for used speakers, check out the Totem Mod... | |
| The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them What do you expect from an audio magazine that gives every product they review a glowing review, the best of the best. This MoFi issue just makes my point that hires digital sounds as good or better than analog, that's why I sold everything analog... | |
| Advice on Improving a Wifi-Mesh -> Ethernet Setup? Why would anybody think reclocking Ethernet would improve sq? Ethernet is not like usb and reclockers were gimmicks most of the time for usb | |
| A rookie with 10K, seeking advise The problem with asking a wide open question you will get a wide open set of answers that won’t make your purchase any easier. There’s a benefit of better power cords/cables, but for your system, $125 power cord will get you a bigger benefit than... | |
| Which Ethernet filter? Why use a filter? Why would anybody use toslink? Toslink doesn’t support hires files like dsd or MQA. I’ve tried the Ethernet to fiber then back again, didn’t do anything toward sq. I also tried all the tweaks/gimmicks for usb and that was also ... | |
| 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... |
