| XLR, RCA or BNC? I'm not sure there is a "best" termination. I like XLR for my present equipment because it sounds better than RCA. I don't know why, it just does. If RCA sounded better I'd use that. | |
| Wadia 27ix Clock Synch w/ Transport-good thing? One more thing on this subject. I know Wadia prefers and recommends glass interconnects for their product but that doesn't mean there's nothing sonically better out there. I keep experimenting. | |
| Wadia 27ix Clock Synch w/ Transport-good thing? I believe the Optimism v1 is no longer being made and has been replaced by the Optimism v2. The v1 is orange while the v2 is lime green. If you're using ATT glass with your Wadias these are the way to go. You should also consider the Aural Symphon... | |
| Guitar playing audiophiles, Martin or Taylor? Each guitar is different, even same make and model. Also the strings can make a world of difference. A string that sounds great on one guitar can sound awful on another. The age of the string also has an effect. If you're comparing guitars make su... | |
| Where will audio be in 10 years? The audiophile and the "general public" have 2 different systems now. | |
| Difference between Marigo apparition 5.5 and 5.7 Sutts, are you using the balanced or single ended? If single, bnc or rca? Thanks. | |
| Best Digital Cable, Regardless of Price.... Have also noticed shortest length for Marigo Apparition is 1 1/2 meters. | |
| Coping in an Age of Uncertainty CDs with all their warts are a certainty. The future of DVDa and SACD are uncertainties. Yes there will be better formats but until they become mass market they are only a niche product. When a better format becomes mass market (like the CD) I wil... | |
| Best Digital Cable, Regardless of Price.... When I purchased Illuminati D60 years ago, they recommended 1 1/2 meters. | |
| Best live album you've ever heard? While not a huge Eagles fan, Hell Freezes Over has got to rank up there as one of the best live albums. | |
| Best Digital Cable, Regardless of Price.... I would suggest trying your present cable with BNC terminations first. I'm not a big fan of RCA for digital. BNC and AES/EBU terminations are superior. | |
| Jazz CD suggestions for evening ambience John Coltrane-Ballads | |
| Wadia 27ix Clock Synch w/ Transport-good thing? The 270 is built like a tank, probably sounds good with any DAC especially the SE model. When I purchased my 27 I used a ML transport (270 was not yet available) connected by Illuminati D60 and it sounded excellent. When the 270 became available I... | |
| Candidates for Re-mastering? I agree that the DCC gold "Blue" sounds pretty good. "Court and Spark" may not be quite up to "Blue" but still better than standard issue. As for remastering and hopefully gold, I'd like to hear Patti Smiths "Easter" and all of Rikkie Lee Jones ti... | |
| Kimber Palladian power cord vs. Non Palladian... If the 2 cables are identicle except for the "sausage", then that's one expensive "sausage" figuring that its cost is the difference between the 2 cables. Even more reason to have some minimal understanding of the "sausage" function. |
