| Denafrips offer to replace my faulty Pontus 15th, for a replacement fee? I'd think one may be better off with a replacement unit. You all seem to think repairs are a simple and quick thing. Do you know the waiting time for techs these days? Techs are dying out, retiring, too few, long wait times. Will it be repaired co... | |
| Incredible Audiophile Imaging -- at a Concert! Good friend of mine runs a sound reinforcement business and occasionally engineers in the studio. Introduced me to the audiophile world via Dynaco and Linn LP12 setup at his parents home way back in the dayl. Anyway he went into sound reinforcemen... | |
| Streamer Options Needed I do recall not all the usb ports same sound quality, one with shortest path was Irecommended. And I could see this as an advantage with M2 if usb is indeed connected directly to cpu, interfaces are extremely important in obtaining best SQ. W... | |
| The cool factor- who has it? Meant to say Laurel Canyon, Zappa, Joni Mitchell, Byrds, Morrison, etc. | |
| The cool factor- who has it? I believe Michael was a very serious guy, especially when it came to his music, he and Don Kirshner had major issues what with his insistence on studio musicians. Kirshner was a control freak, always claimed the Monkees were nothing without him. ... | |
| Autoformer Volume Control (AVC) Before or After Active Stage? I can't speak to your specific components, but I have transformer volume control with my active tube pre, so essentially my active is the buffer. Seems to me putting the buffer in front of autoformers defeats the purpose of the buffer, the passive... | |
| Incredible Audiophile Imaging -- at a Concert! My issue is that I'd not want to hear a 70' wide keyboard, I want my home stereo or concert experience to present life size images. This sounds like spectacle and special effects rather than life like presentation, may be interesting like pyrotech... | |
| Streamer Options Needed Vlad, I'm afraid I was a bit too dismissive of modded mini as just a 'passable' streamer in my last post. I experimented with a series of three different mini's over a few years, everything from stock to maximal mods. I had three different Intel,... | |
| Is AI going to kill Hifi? @jssmith Yassir. Far too many have this idea AI learns at the same or approximate rate as humans. Y'all be wiser soon enough. | |
| How can different CAT5/6 cables affect sound. @herman My first post on this thread mentioned the endless repetition of the same old tired refrains on this subject, and then I get involved yet again. I will try to remember this and simply tune out next time. | |
| The cool factor- who has it? For some reason I never forget this moment when I was perhaps 12 or 13, listening to the Monkees, really tthought them great, and one of my older sisters puts them down stating session musicians did all the playing, I was kind of hurt, but I conti... | |
| What A Drag It Is Getting Old I have long experience with DUH! | |
| Streamer Options Needed Mini just a glorified computer even with every possible operating system mod, adding a quality lps absolutely necessary to make it into a passable streamer. | |
| Is AI going to kill Hifi? White Lotus' meaning or symbolism in Buddhist philosophy/religion concerns ignorance and the path one travels in reaching enlightenment. If you pay attention to the sound track you often hear monkey like sounds, these just as the characters are ab... | |
| How can different CAT5/6 cables affect sound. Galvanic isolation in quality streaming components is virtually a given these days, certainly there are generic streaming components lacking this, and I do agree this needs to be addressed. |
