| Are USB-SPDIF's relevant with today's DAC USB technology? Plug your new USB cable into a good converter like the M2Tech or the Berkeley. Then run a good AES cable (I use MIT) from the converter to the new DAC. That will be better than running your USB cable directly into your new DAC. | |
| Are USB-SPDIF's relevant with today's DAC USB technology? The Berkeley Audio DAC, which is one of the best, does not accept USB in. Why? Because using a converter is currently the best-sounding option. Their converter is top notch, as well as the M2Tech when its used with the optional battery and extern... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? While we're at it, could someone explain how those MIT boxes work? I like my MIT's but I'm fighting the urge to dissect one. | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Cable threads like this are a good opportunity for one to affirm one's own personal biases.To believe that cables make no significant difference is wishful thinking. Any audiophile able to do it has my congratulations. | |
| Wilson Audio Haters Sad to see another interesting thread hijacked by a salesman. First Audioquest cables, now Monitor speakers. Where's a good moderator when you need one. | |
| TAD Reference loudspeakers-How good are they? I've had the Ref1 in my main system for 3 or 4 years. Very happy with them. Would be interesting to compare them to the current best Magico, Raidho, and MBL. | |
| Fozgometer Rental Anyone? Just be aware, it doesn't work with all cartridges. | |
| Class D Technology Not much doubt that class D noise is independent of signal levels, and poses no unusual threat to speakers. I own the Spectron monoblocks. Superb sounding amps, amazing value relative to cost. | |
| David Berning preamp..looking for suggestions Don't listen to that nonsense about SMPS and digital hash/artifacts. Its all about implementation. | |
| Teres Audio Chris Brady, great guy. If you can reach him, he will try to help you. | |
| What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz? Vandersteen 5a. Nipple-high at most. | |
| Audio withdrawal Mixing and matching is so passe. Just buy well-designed neutral components, and you will be able to enjoy listening to music rather than equipment. | |
| What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience? That's very interesting! | |
| Aurender servers and power cords That's what I wanted to hear, thanks. | |
| Why has amplifier power become a big issue I agree that some (most?) of the complex multiway speakers can sound more authoritative on transients with more watts. But for the same dollars, a lower power amp may sound more musical. There are now amps that combine musicality with big watts, ... |
