| SACD Transport Recommendations Hm, and Nuprime now have 3 transports available but none of them for SACD. I really like formats so i keep buyings cds | |
| Are Preamplifier’s Relevant Today or just a Hinderance with Digital Playback ? If you listen to live instruments many of them are sharp sounding. Many audiophiles like smoother sounding. I dropped the ideal of true to life sound when i admitted to myself that i have preferences. | |
| Cardas Clear breakin. How many hours needed? I can not disagree to other opinions, but i for sure (after 25 years) leave all silver along. I just don't feel like taking another chance.A speaker designer told me that cables that needs brake in isn't right.I don't say that! When he came and se... | |
| Seriously? Why Buy ARC Ref 6SE? seems Benchmark LA4 is a better choice. I think many have a certain ideal when it comes to hearing/ listening.Neutral or not, it's just the way it is. | |
| SPL: Reference level performance, German build quality, and innovative designs Same here, i also look at Elector or possibly Benchmark LA4. 'dI like something which is dynamic,- a bit of swing, which i am afraid none of these will offer :-( | |
| Wirewold Eclipse 8 - Burn in To be honest, i had these IC's and i sold them. There you have it! | |
| HDMI MOST MUSICAL CABLE You should start off with Supra. I say no more. I have a dac and transport running IS2 here.Supra cost 15 times less than Audioquest Raven and sounds better.Next is Cardas Clear. It's a more musical cable, but to be fair, the other cables are AES/... | |
| Bang for the buck vs. “money no object” cable recommendations Cables of from any super expensive brand should probably only be used if you have seen what your room can do without peaks and valleys.Just start with an easy thing, clap your hands and tell us what you hear!?Or sing and tell what you hear (echoes)? | |
| Looking for my "last" CD transport Many years ago i ran my Krell KPS 25c through a fairly expensive DVD. The sound was devastatingly bad. I can't dive in to details, but it was shocking! This is something i think of when i use my current transport.Can't stop wondering if a really s... | |
| Digital coaxial advice needed This is weird that i say now. I had Audioquest Raven aes/ebu. I feel that my Supra IS2 cable sound better, so i sold the Raven. But i ain't to keen on skipping aes/ebu anyway since i don't use DSD needed upsample bandwidth. I like the lower settin... | |
| How far away from your speakers are you? It's a good question, but it begs for another question.Do you have near, mid or farfield speakers?How large is your room.I have nearfield speakers in a small room.(Barfoot sound MM27)What annoys me inspite of room tuning (acoustic material) is tha... | |
| Which transport with my Jay's Audio DAC? Just buy the Jay transport if you have the money over Nuprime 8.I have Nuprime Evo dac and CDT 8 Pro.I don't think you should get all crazy over NOS or OS.I don't think it sounds better with upsampling.I have noted it also becomes more of edge. Th... | |
| 2 way, which are the best designs? Kenjit, the later version have several voicing settings, mine have two. Flat and Nice. According to Thomas there’s about 0.5db difference. Actually, i tried now and perhaps i like the "Nice" better when using Nuprime Evo dac. With my Wadia 381 fla... | |
| 2 way, which are the best designs? Gosta, i think the IB 2S is a superb speaker. You'll for sure adore the fast punchy bass. It's no boom but full of detail. Actually, in an A/B, they would hammer my MM 27. Overall it's probably a better speaker.Ofcourse, i drove these with Krell F... | |
| 2 way, which are the best designs? Kenjit, if you think MM 27 are harsh, i wonder if you've heard the latest gen 2 and not gen 1?No way gen 1 is too harsh. If you think so i don't know, but you simply must hate all hifi speakers and if so, why aren't you hanging at a DIY forum? I d... |
