| Most Important, Unloved Cable... @geoffkait Give me a break. YOU raised the topic of negative test results proving nothing. I simply pointed out that you are correct - the evidence must be supplied by those making the wild claims! | |
| Does a new cd transport require break-in time? How annoying to have to find specific CD players and other devices that send zeros when paused or in between tracks.Looks like a design mistake if this DAC was engineered to be compatible with a variety of devices.I can understand and accept a dev... | |
| Opening a can of worms @hifiman5 Thank you but I am actually the one who has no worries about dielectric burn-in. I don’t worry about the fact that the dielectric air around cables is constantly changing and therefore for a fact that the cable can never ever fully burn-... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... Geoff,The onus is on the person making wild claims to provide proof. If someone else says it is a scam then those making the wild claim should simply provide proof to the contrary.That is how science works. Jinjuku should have been challenged and ... | |
| Opening a can of worms So we agree - cables can never burn in! | |
| Need help selecting a system with Tidal streaming (Maybe MQA) and speakers for around $1k. iPad + Camera Connection Kit + Powered USB Hub + Meridian Explorer 2 and headphones | |
| Suggestion on XLR Cables @gdhal It is also ok to disagree. I respect differing views. Your points are always valid and presented logically - unlike some of the more crazy assertions made around here (mostly by Geoff 🤪 but I still enjoy many of his comments) | |
| Opening a can of worms @hifiman5 Glad we agree about the air around cables being a dielectric. Do you deny that as a direct consequence cables can never burn-in? | |
| Opening a can of worms @hifiman5 The most important dielectric is air! Since air circulates freely around then your wire conductors can NEVER EVER burn-in!Perhaps you should give up this hobby and start hunting for UFOs and aliens. | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... @grannyring There was an open invitation to anyone by Jinijuku to try whatever was proposed/offered in a person's own set up.To bad really. Should have offered some nice Wireword etc. for the test. | |
| New and searching Start by searching for a great speaker that you really love and go from there. I would be prepared devote up to your full budget on speakers. Deftech is great value but it is far from the last word in audiophile quality. | |
| Soundstage and explosive dynamics? @kosst_amojan I agree a lot has changed in the market - Meyer, Nexo and Funktion One make great gear for PA. IMHO EAW Anya has the best portable array system currently for stadiums. These days, it is as much about an easily setup and controlled co... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... If different ethernet cables have audible differences then it stands to reason that IOP will be an even bigger factor. It would not make sense to run listening tests on various ethernet cables without testing such a key factor as IOP at the same t... | |
| Should I buy a new cd player or DAC or both or neither? Burn your CD collection to hard drive and get a DAC and a Roon and Tidal subscription. Stereophile Class A+ list is a good place to start. CD players are obsolete... |
