| Question for cable/wire naysayers..... I felt this thread was trolling but it seems to have life. Good to see some healthy skeptics providing balance to the tin foilers who think the Holy Grail in audio are interconnects and speaker wire.It is obvious that excellent audio equipment des... | |
| Subwoofer advice please @willemj Subwoofers are hard to do well and 8 inch woofers are rather small for that application. Room modes are certainly part of the usual problem. If you have a chance - try a JL subwoofer before buying another PV1D - you may find it integrates... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! Oh dear. Another failure might begin to suggest a possible design fault. This thread got me interested in the build quality and I have watched online videos showing how the inside is built. I would call it scary. Sorry but I don't much like the wa... | |

| External DAC Benchmark DAC 3 is excellent - exceptional measured performance. | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... @geoffkait I don’t recall ever seeing you apologize. And you probably hold the record on audiogon for belittling folks and calling them sarcastic names. Your standard tactic being to insult the person rather than address the points in a discussion... | |

Replacement, shipping expenses etc.You can’t expect a manufacturer to accept to take consequential damages.The only w... | |
| Streaming vs traditional Like others I can hear no difference between identical files either from a CD or server or streaming. Provided you have good gear it should reliably play an identical file with the same quality whether it was from a CD, a sever or over the Interne... | |
| Dac+Amp recommendation for streaming-only system https://www.stereophile.com/content/zu-essence-loudspeaker-measurementsWho said Zu are supremely good speakers.This is a niche product that measures terribly but will sound better (louder and dynamic) than most other designs with a flea powered tu... | |
| Magico S5 vs KEF Blade 2 vs TAD Evo One vs YG Kipod II Sig w/pwr bass @fsmithjack You really need to listen. It depends on your taste. Do you like 1 a totally neutral accurate sound or 2 some bass emphasis or resonance.IMHO two cents YMMVBlade and TAD are camp 1 (driven by a British and Japanese preference for music... | |
| Comparison between the Bryston 7BSST² and the Bryston 7B³ Bryston SST2 is already slightly smoother than the older versions. I have not heard the difference on a 7B but it was there on the popular 4B. I think you will be fine with either model - so cost may be the deciding factor.Why do you need so much ... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... @geoffkait Glad you are happy and had a good laugh. Life is too short to get worked up over things like this and we can all use a good laugh 😆I can disagree with people as much as much as anyone but I still respect everyone and their right to hold... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... Cool. I hope you can meet up and above all keep things friendly. Kudos to wgutz for being willing to try. I know my setup isn’t affected audibly by cables or even an audio bridge but I believe others have encountered this phenomenon. So I believe ... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... Well Soundlabs U-2 are super revealing speakers and with 100K+ of other gear let's hope wgutz is willing to step up, as with the quality of his gear there would be absolutely no reason for any differences not to be easily audible. |
