| Case in point: a $90,000 power cord by ASUNZ The $90,000 power cord is like the $40,000 toilet seat. Ask the US army procurement. Never heard of more of a ridiculous price for anything. | |
| Single driver full range speakers If you have a "full range" speaker. Look at the specification sheet the for that woofer. If it states the range 20hz to 20khz it is full range. A speaker would still be decent at 32hz to 20khz in the right cabinet because it could roll off slowly ... | |
| Case in point: a $90,000 power cord by ASUNZ I completely agree with you 100%. I use optical from one streamer, gold plated RCA to another. The RCA cost about $50 for the pair.The optical cable is generic. I have an 1800w power conditioner regulator, filter that is powered by a Furman filte... | |
| Last Critical Tweak… how to quell occasional high harshness…? When I built my speakers, I installed Lpads for the mid and highs. Purests might say this affects sound in a bad way, but oh well I find the controls very helpful if a recording was not EQed properly, which happen often in CD recordings, and I'v... | |
| SS amp or receiver that sounds like Tube Amp I tested the Shiit Freya in my system with a Shiit Vidar amp Changing from tubes to solid state made no difference with the Freya. | |
| Thoughts on DAC option The only DAC I have experience with is a Shiit Byfrost. In my opinion, it is excellent. Not lacking anywhere that I can tell. | |
| SS amp or receiver that sounds like Tube Amp If you are happy with the Onkyo, then stay with it, and save yourself alot of money. Shiit Audio has preamps, power amps that sounds much like a tube sound. I compared, and I stuck with the Primaluna. I read another person liked Hegel better, but ... | |
| Amplifier recommendations for 86 dB Sensitivity Speakers You have a nice system. The decision will be made by room size. A larger room will take more power for the same experience as a small room. I run 30wpc from EL 34s into 89db sensitive speakers. I am using the system in a 12 ftx15 ft area. I'm only... | |
| Thoughts and suggestions please The Bluesound streamer is a good product. I own both a Bluesound 2i streamer and an Innous Mini Mk III. From a sound stand point, I like the Innuos product over the Bluesound. The application for the innuous has come along way from 3 years ago an... | |
| Anyone heard from Charles1dad ? You are a very nice, kind person. I hope Charles is blessed no matter where he is. I am 68 yrs old, and realize we all are on life cycle timers. It's great we can enjoy discussion and learn new things in this forum. Thank you! | |
| The death of ultra hiend audio Price, I remember that people could not believe how great Crown International home stereo and Bob Carver sounded for the dollar back in the late 70s and 80s. Great audio, low cost! It can be done. Side by side either of these were competing with ... | |
| ??? Where Does "High End" Start ??? It’s all a matter of perspective. Everyone’s ears are different and the way a system sounds for your taste is what matters. In this forum, you might run into a bit of snobbery because of cost. Cost may have much to do with quality components, but... | |
| How can different CAT5/6 cables affect sound. I laugh at some of the discussions on this forum. I can tell the difference between DACs, Preamplifers, power amplifiers, speakers, and speaker cable, interconnects between sources which can be quite apparent. With the discussions about Ethernet ... | |
| How old is too old? I bought my Crown International in 1980. I used it for 45 years. The model was Pl-1 power amp, and SL-1 preamp. I was impressed the pre-amp had a separate gain adjustable phono amp. I retired it 4 years ago. I now stream and burn cds on an Innuos... | |
| DAC suggestions? I like my Shiit Byfrost. It is 5 years old, and does a great job. It delivers low solid bass, velvet voices, and nice top end. I listen for hours, no fatigue. |
