| Why is the snake oil topic closed? Some over complicate things. It's simple...if like I, you believe there are differences, spend your money, share your experiences with others, and enjoy. If you don't believe there are difference, don't spend your money and enjoy. | |
| Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed? The Ultra High-End is for people that love music and have the money to purchase what ever they want. It cost a lot of money to hear incremental improvements. In general I think being an "audiophile" at any level is a pretty lonely hobby and very, ... | |
| HELP ADVICE FEEDBACK PS Audio BHK 300 - Hegel H30 - Pass Labs X250.8 or Pass X350.5 amp When I was thinking about replacing my Jeff Rowland 625 S2 amplifier, I had a home audition of the PS Audio BHK 300 mono-amps. To my ears, in my system with the BHK 300s I lost detail, spacing, and the soundstage collapsed. The Rowland just sounds... | |
| Power Cord jafant,Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving to you. The other thing I’ve been doing is comparing speaker cables. So far I’ve had Shunyata Alpha, Audience AU24 SX, and my own Wireworld Silver Eclipse 7(which I sold). In a week I will have Clarus Crimson s... | |
| Power Cord The Fire has a more three dimensional sound to it. The Fire is cleaner and allows details further back in the soundstage to be easily heard. Cymbals, lead guitar, and other instruments have really come to life, without being bright. There is de... | |
| Power Cord Unfortunately, I submit the answer can only be discovered by listening in your own system. | |
| Power Cord I auditioned Shunyata Sigma NR power cords a couple weeks ago in my system. I thought they were different, but didn't add enough to my musical enjoyment to sell my Wireworld Electras. Since then I decided to pursue interconnect cables. Long story ... | |
| Cable recommendation between Dac and Integrated amp We can give recommendations, but no one can tell you what is best in your system. e.g. I had .5 meter Wireworld Platinum series 7 XLR cables. I recently tried an Audioquest Niagara 1 meter XLR. In my system, my wife and I preferred the Niagara. I ... | |
| JEFF ROWLAND AERIS WITH PSU AND AURENDER W20 OR ESOTERIC N-01 You can send Guido a message through Audiogon. He has the passion and knowledge regarding Rowland components to lead you in the right direction. If the PSU improves the Aeris as Guido describes, I submit getting the Aries is a no brainer. | |
| JEFF ROWLAND AERIS WITH PSU AND AURENDER W20 OR ESOTERIC N-01 Guido can provide his opinion of the Aeris DAC with the PSU. I have the JR 625 S2 amp, Corus preamp, and had the Aeris DAC. In lieu of getting the PSU to go with my Aeris, I decided to sell it. I purchased a Chord Dave DAC and couldn't be happier... | |
| Power Cords highstream,I don't know anyone that will loan me cables for two weeks. In all honesty I just don't have the time to audition something over a two week period. I know it may not be the perfect way to audition cables, but it's my only option.It my a... | |
| Magico S5 vs KEF Blade 2 vs TAD Evo One vs YG Kipod II Sig w/pwr bass I’ll never understand why some resort to name calling on Audiogon? Of that's right, we must act like one big clique...everyone must agree to the same thing. I've heard subtle changes with break in, but never night and day. | |
| Magico S5 vs KEF Blade 2 vs TAD Evo One vs YG Kipod II Sig w/pwr bass My comments aren't about Magico or any manufacture, but I have some doubts about break in. To me it's more believable that our ears get accustom to the sound. For me, I either like something or I don't. | |
| Power Cords A friend that I meet through Audiogon sent me an Audioquest Niagara XLR interconnect cable to try. Several months ago he came to my house and listened to my system. He thought the Niagara would be a good fit. Again, to my ears cables sound differe... | |
| What was the first system you heard that made you think the high end made sense Big Krell amplifiers and Martin Logan Statement speakers. I can't recall the other components. |
