| Who says cables don't make a difference? Keep your 50 dollars cables.... But treat your room and prepare yourself for a big surprize....The best improvement is not about cables but a dedicated controlled audio only room.... :)Really??? Oh, and 2x2=4, you forgot to add. (Please forgive... | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? My biggest mistake in hi-fi after 30+ years was to underestimate the importance of a speaker cable. There were times when I was using $7,000 speakers with a cheap cable which, as I realised much later, was suffocating the excellent speakers. But... | |
| Are these Speakers the BEST on Planet Earth ?... These are not even horns... c'mon, everyone knows that the best speakers in the word are Romy the Cat loudspeakers!! ))http://www.goodsoundclub.com/Playback/MyPlayback.aspx | |
| What integrated should I upgrade to? Lavardin IT, if you find it used, but owners rarely sell them. I won't )) | |
| A warm DAC? Border Patrol or a used Aqua la Voce. Both sound organic and natural. Add a Cardas Cross or Golden Cross interconnect, and it will be organic and warm in a way that you will never get tired of it. I ended up with Aqua and found its combination wit... | |
| Unbelievable All I know is that lacquer is important to piano manufacturers, as its use is correlated to the hammer stiffness/density and consequently the sound character we call brilliance. The lacquer/varnish used by Stradivari is the main reason why his vio... | |
| Best DAC for around $2,500 or less A used Aqua la Voce S3 would be a fantastic option. They don't come up used often though. | |
| Aqua hifi La Voce s3.....anyone audition it yet? @stuartk Sacrificing musicality for the sake of detail is a false concept. What kills "musicality" is distortions and artefacts that some users take for extra details. A natural, coherent sound with better resolution and sharper focus on timing a... | |
| Looking to get the best out of Redbook Cd listening with Dac a d Transport under 5K? I can vouch for a Innuos ZEN + Aqua la Voce combo. Zen will completely change the way you listen to the music, and la Voce is a killer DAC for the money, it is a modern NOS R2R ladder DAC with organic, natural, dynamic sound that was simply beyond... | |
| Why do you think Bi-Wiring improves the sound ? In my experience bi-wiring never improves the sound, it is always horses for courses, you win something and you lose something. The initial feeling of an improved sound is often caused by a slightly better separation, but after a while I realise t... | |
| Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? It's 2020 and people are still arguing if cables make the difference. Unbelievable.Regarding Ayre and Cardas, it makes perfect sense to me. I used to have Ayre CDP many years ago. It had a clean, sterile sound. In the end I used it with Cardas C... | |
| Metrum Dac owners I was looking for a new DAC recently and auditioned Onyx and Aqua La Voce in the same system. Very, very close. I could live with either. In the end La Voce won by a small margin sound wise and due to a clearly better USB input and its modular up... | |
| Streamer v DAC - which is more important? "Having a high quality stand alone DAC is worth every penny paid." pgcollie just nailed it. I made some costly mistakes in my system building before realising this. | |
| Looking for recommendations for a 'warm' sounding DAC "Is there a list available of how all the DACs ranked? I would be curious which PS Audio model you tested and how it performed".As I just wrote in another thread, DACs are not sprinters, they are not all running in the exact same direction )). The... | |
| Looking for recommendations for a 'warm' sounding DAC Aqua La Voce S3 would be a great choice, it sounds nothing like the Chord or most delta-sigma DACs, you can listen to it for hours (and hours, and hours) with no fatigue at all, actually you'll find it hard to switch it off. |
