| power cord for pass 250.8 @dhite71 I did a tour of the Shunyata facility about a month ago with my local audio club. They were excited about the Gamma and Theta lines but we didn't audition them. We were very impressed with their listening room and the demo of the Altair... | |
| power cord for pass 250.8 @dhite71 I have a NRG Custom Cables 4 outlet distribution box and attached cable. It is very well made and wasn't particularly expensive but I have no idea if it improved the sound quality since I didn't do any careful A/B testing. He isn't taki... | |
| Kind of Blue @simonmoon Thanks for that list. I found some new to me discoveries. | |
| Eversolo DMP-A8 What an interesting question. You can definitely use the digital outs of the A8 to your DAC effectively limiting the use of the A8 to being a streamer. However, you need to specify ONE input and ONE output. So once you specify your digital sour... | |
| Burn your power cables in PROPERLY with Haglabs Frycorder I hate to get in the middle of these pointless arguments where all the people that have never given a product a try deny that it could have any effect and must be snake oil simply because they can’t propose a mechanism for its action but I am goin... | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers @thecarpathian Way more than 40 Wilson Audio speakers for sale on Hifishark. I guess all their speakers are crap too? BTW, perhaps you failed to notice that almost all the Tekton's for sale are their low end models? There was exactly 1 Moab, 0 ... | |
| Has anyone heard the BACCH-SP "purifier" 3D audiophile imager? A friend lent me the Bacch SP adio to use for about 6 weeks. It is a fascinating device. It is also hugely overpriced. The Bacch4Mac is a cheaper solution and probably nearly as good for a purely digital flow but it is still fairly expensive. ... | |
| Excellent Solid State or Hybrid Monoblocks Recommendations I am also a fan of the BHK 300 mono blocks. I have used them with Tekton Moabs, Magnepan 3.7s and now Magnepan 20.7i's. I heard a friend's 3.7i's being driven by a D'agostino S300 amp and even though his room wasn't very good his 3.7s sounded a ... | |
| Are there other people like me ? Amazed by their low cost system :) If knowledgeable people aren't coming over to listen to your system and tell you that it is amazing then it probably isn't and you are deluded. | |
| Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper vs. Cardas Clear interconnects @dbt Sorry, I read your post a little too quickly and made the assumption it was about AES cables. I have a VPI Super Scoutmaster turntable, Skyanalog Ref cartridge, Allnic H-3000 phono stage, Berkeley Reference 2 DAC, Audio Research 5SE preamp, ... | |
| Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper vs. Cardas Clear interconnects I have the Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper XLRs which I felt were an upgrade from Harmonic Technology Magic Link 2's. I also have the AZ Absolute speaker cables which are great. I didn't carefully compare them to anything else but my system certain... | |
| Help me pick a Dac I have carefully listened to 6 DACs in the last 6 weeks in a system set up to do level matched A/B or in one case A/B/C comparisons. The differences in DACs are generally small so any "upgrade" you make may not provide you with the improvement yo... | |
| Allnic H 7000 XLR out. No idea about the technology but I run my H-3000 with balanced cables and it sounds fantastic. I didn't try the RCA outputs because my best cables were all balanced. You should let your ears be the judge of how it sounds in your system. | |
| 2a3 Tubes - Favorites? When I was using a 2A3 tube amp the best tubes I had was were the Kron 2A3SQ that I bought directly from the manufacturer for about 600 euros. They outperformed a variety of NOS tubes. But NOS 2A3 tubes are still relatively cheap so I would sugg... | |
| Cary Audio SLP-5 Preamp Tube Replacement. @immatthewj I have the LinLai E-6SN7 tubes in all 6 sockets since I used the SLP-05 balanced. I don't use headphones so I have cheap throw away tubes in the other two sockets. It has never been clear to me if you could leave those sockets empty ... |
