| When were the best tube amps made? There seems to be a consensus here: Today is the era of best tube amplification. And: some of he best stuff comes from artisan electronic designers. I just took delivery of a Supratek Grange phono-/pre-amp. I have not yet hooked it up because I am... | |
| Do Costly XLR Cables Make A Difference? to mceljo: we actually do just that - or at least trying to - with loudspeaker frequency response curves, for example. They do actually give one a pretty good idea what the speakers may sound like (in an an-echoic chamber at least) by just looking... | |
| Do Costly XLR Cables Make A Difference? For holmz: check this website for cotton-insulated wires: https://www.vhaudio.com/unicrystal-occ-silver-wire.html BTW: the way I understand it, the electromagnetic field around the conductor arises the moment it gets connected. What we call the '... | |
| Do Costly XLR Cables Make A Difference? I honestly do not know, @holmz: I never did the comparison in a blind A/B setting, let alone did I perform any measurements. I just re-iterated what I had read in various blogs and articles written by specialists (I, on the other hand, am an organ... | |
| Do Costly XLR Cables Make A Difference? This is a fine discussion and - so far - unencumbered by righteous zealots. I was a cable skeptic until I visited a NordOst demo at the 2008 RMAF (together with my unbiased - because uninterested - wife: we are both scientists and know everything ... | |
| Open Baffle Experience It is really sad to see more and more dogmatists spoiling this forum, which I thought was meant to create an easy way to exchange our experiences: EXPERIENCES, not theoretical arguments. In case of the open baffle loudspeakers and the voiced criti... | |
| Looking for a London (DECCA) Reference phono cartridge Same here: no response from Avantgarde HK. Meanwhile, I was offered a good-as-new (40 hrs play time) AudioTechnica AT_ART 1000 for $3K: I guess that will be my choice unless someone here tells me :" Oh no, don't do that!!!". | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? I just sold my EMIA SUT. Not that I did not like it: it is a great piece, albeit it make my soundstage a bit more forward; and quite frankly, it was also a bit "bombastic", larger-than-life in a way (interacting with Dave Slagle, however was a won... | |
| Looking for a London (DECCA) Reference phono cartridge Thank you very much for that info. I do indeed have friends in HK. I already contacted Avantgarde. | |
| Sternklang Cables I looked at the XLR cables: where is the ground wire? | |
| Streamer creates a Wow experience I am following this thread with great interest, as I feel finally ready to take the streaming plunge. I already subscribed to Qobuz , Tidal and HDTracks, but am still on the fence about which streamer to buy. My music files are organized on my Mac... | |
| Too many choices for R2R DACS--opinions appreciated I got a MSB DAC (Platinum Signature) from my wife for Christmas: never looked back! Smooth and yet well delineated sound, deep sound stage, great and focused bass, and zero sibilance. The music comes through, and I forget about any gear. Isn't tha... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread Pictures, please! Mick just agreed to have mine painted in Pearl-White to match my speakers: these things should be in a design museum somewhere one day. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Bill Evans Trio :"Sunday at the Village Vanguard", DMM Cutting | |
| DAC Merry Go 'Round- why I stopped at Weiss Thanks for the illuminating DAC comparison. I recently settled for a MSB Platinum Signature and am as happy as a clam. I also visited the factory in Watsonville CA, which is about an hour drive from my home: this was truly the experience of a life... |
