| Combination streamer and music server…without DAC Brandon: I’m newly retired and the Aurender W20SE would account for 1/2 annual of my combined Pension and SS! I do want to thank everyone for their suggestions. A lot to mull over.. | |
| Uptone EtherRegen It’s interesting to read the different opinions on the EtherRegen in this thread. I noticed no difference whatsoever but perhaps it will work for you? One question for owners: the unit has a provision for grounding. Has anyone tried this and n... | |
| I Recapped my Conrad Johnson PFR. Wow! Some of the best $$$ I've spent Artemis-5: do ‘you (or anyone else for that matter) know of anyone that is doing upgrades on Vintage CJ equipment? I’m more inclined to have a complete overhaul on my PF-R but at the very least would like to have the caps replaced. Thanks. | |
| ETHERNET CABLES Agree with the comments regarding the Etherregen. I have it and did not notice any improvement in sound quality (it's fed into a Sonore UltraRendu). | |
| Doubling a Set of Speaker Cables Apologies to anyone that thinks this should be a separate post but In a similar vein can someone provide cable recommendations for DIY speaker cable runs of 25 ft. My speakers are 4 ohms with dual sets of binding posts. The leading candidate so ... | |
| Price Isn't Always Indicitive of Quality or Performance Well, I have to agree to a certain extent with wesheadley’s rant about cable costs. So often we’re told that Most of the cost is associated with R&D and terminations. Really? So why is it when there is an incremental change in the length o... | |
| Zavfino Has anyone compared the Fusion to other similarly priced cables from other boutique cable mfrs (such as Triode, Lavricable, WyWires (lower tier), etc.)? Just curious. | |
| Choosing Headphones up to 1700 USD erik_squires 12,512 posts 01-08-2021 at 02:04pm Does anyone have an opinion on electrostatic headphone amps? I too looked at the WOO GES. From my research they tend to be pretty pricey, whether it’s Blue Hawaii, mjolnir, upper tier Stax, or lin... | |
| What are the Best FM tuners? It’s interesting that no-one mentioned Fanfare. This ranked as one of my better purchases. | |
| Kiseki Purpleheart This is a very helpful thread and truthfully, the PH was on my short list but no longer due to the quality issues mentioned. The Cadenza Bronze took it's place. FWIW My short list is: Miyajima Saboten Hana ML or Unami (a little price diffe... | |
| Conrad-Johnson PF-R Preamp Review Summary? I would have to say that as an older audiophile of 65 the PFR was without a doubt the best purchase I ever made ($850 on Ebay) in my audiophile life. I replaced it with an Ayre k-5xeMP and noticed a slight improvement overall, probably due to the... | |
| AUDIONET HUMBOLDT INTEGRATED SONIC NIRVANA !? Yes but.....can the AudioNet Watt give me 90% of the Humboldt at a fraction of the price? | |
| High end cartridge There are a lot of good suggestions here but one thing you should consider is whether you plan on installing the cartridge yourself or have it installed at the dealer where you purchased the cartridge. In my case I definitely want the latter but ... | |
| Do good power cords have to be stiff? i suspect that the Cables zavato is using with male ends will tend to be more on the stiff side 😂 ‘Sorry. I couldn’t resist. We had an ice storm in the northeast and I’m suffering from cabin fever. | |
| 聖HIJIRI Users thread Ok but it’s a little strange that there is no pricing info. On the website and “that you have to call Colin for pricing”. Reviews? Return policy (if they have one)? Let me guess: I have to call Colin to discuss… |
