| What CDP gets really close to vinyl? You should try and listen to "The last record player" by Einstein Audio, amazingly analog sound. | |
| Power Cord with great tone Hello Mapman and others, I suppose it is a common sense that tone is a function of the device being powered and not the power cord itself. It is just audiophile language that we keep using (abusing?) to describe things. Having said all that there ... | |
| FIM/Neotech vs. Furutech FI-25 G Thanks for the pointer Joao. Yes, Furutech Gold can sound slow. | |
| power conditioner for cd transport and dac? The most cost effective power related tweak I got was with a Monarchy Audio Regenerator. For about $700 it costs just as much as a decent power cord but the effect it has on the sound quality is just tremendous, Dynamics and realism take on a new ... | |
| FIM/Neotech vs. Furutech FI-25 G I only have experience with Furutech FI-25G vs Oyaide P004/P046 vs Wattgate 320..no experience with Neotech. The furutech sounds relatively laid-back, a bit slow, mushy (tubey) compared to others. It is a kind of coloration, if your system needs t... | |
| JMR Offrande Supreme V2 vs GMA Calypso Shakeydeal, I cannot overrule what you say, but I am yet to be convinced with the tone and body these stone-enclosure speakers produce. In my experience tone is something that doesnt require setting up to be judged. | |
| JMR Offrande Supreme V2 vs GMA Calypso GMA, as someone else has pointed out sounds extremely articulate, dead center pin-point images with clear cut boundaries...this is exactly why they sound artificial and cooked to me. Never can a human voice or a guitar placed 8-9 feet away from yo... | |
| Why do I always like a source with Burr Brown DAC? Isnt Analog Device AD1865 also a multibit DAC ?Alex, when I say I like the Burr Brown sound, I did not mean I liked only the 1704/1702 multibit DACs, I also like the 173X and 179X based DACs and CDPs. Typically Burr Brown has a tonality and that i... | |
| Why do I always like a source with Burr Brown DAC? The CDPs that I have heard with BB chips are Bluenote Stibbert, Ayon CD2s, Audio Space (forgot the model number), Assemblage (Sonic Frontier), AMR CD77 (TD1541A) and a few more which I will have to recollect.The typical delta sigma based CDPs I ha... | |
| Why do I always like a source with Burr Brown DAC? Jax2, could you please mention which are the two DACs you use with 1704 chips ? | |
| Why do I always like a source with Burr Brown DAC? Exactly Muralman1, what DAC chips are you referring to when you say they can do everything ?Coming to your assessment that I like BB because they use oversampling and filtering...well I have only heard one NOS DAC based CDP/DAC in my life and it w... | |
| Usher DMD tweeter upgrade: worth it? Usher BE718 already has a much better tweeter than its mid-bass driver. The thing that really needs an "upgrade" is the mid-bass driver. IMO adding a better tweeter (if it is really better) makes no sense at all, it is like adding better tires to ... | |
| Power Cord with great tone Mapman, in my observation, power cords especially on source has the highest impact on every aspect of sound compared to any other cables in the chain. I am not talking about entry level sources like the NAD, CA, Marantz stuff here. They do not car... | |
| Dual 1009 : Is it a good TT to buy ? Basically it means I should chuck it ? | |
| Lampizator DAC I suppose the E80 is LZ4 ? |
