| Short in my system? I've gotten into the habit of touching my rack before my gear. I've had static here recently. | |
| Recommendation for an HDMI cable under $200 for audio only I use the Wyred 4 Sound cable that @soix mentioned. I haven't tried any expensive I2s cables to compare, but it works well for me. | |
| Favorite Albums Not in the Mainstream Found on Streaming Services @jsalerno277 have you listened to Angus and Julia Stone? Their self titled release and Down the Way are excellent. | |
| Favorite Albums Not in the Mainstream Found on Streaming Services I like their first self-titled album Carolin No. Great stuff. October Project - The Ghost of Childhood is one of my favorites. | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Device - 22B3. Not on Qobuz. Cool disc from 1986. | |
| I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume? My meter reads dBA. I cranked the volume up and 75 to 80 is pretty loud. I don't care to go much louder except for certain rock songs. My ears would bleed at 100+ dBA. | |

| Will a high quality preamp really make a difference in sound?? Also speaker cable @mcmike +1. Silversmith Audio Fidelium made a big improvement in my system. I was surprised. I didn't actually expect much from a speaker wire. | |
| To which song(s) did you blow your speakers? Don't know, but somebody blew my Altec Lansing speakers in college during a frat party. I was not too happy. | |
| HDMI cable to utilize I2s Connection from LAIV uddc to Denafrips Terminator 2 @soix I did use the Monoprice cable and a DH Labs cable, but not with my current dac. They seemed to work fine. I used a short cable in both cases. I had forgotten about the short Monoprice cable until you mentioned it. I was thinking of the many... |
