| Uber expensive repair at United Radio Another reason to like point to point wiring.Seems excessive price to pay for replacement for two 16 pin chipsets, can't estimate their troubleshooting time. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC On presumption of bias by some toward Sabre chip dacs; I can understand that bias as I've heard what some characterize as digititus in particular Sabre dac setups. On the other hand, I've heard very nice presentations of previous Sabre chip dacs i... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I also have the 005, extremely highly resolving dac capable of sounding wonderfully natural in sympathetic setup. I've also experienced less than stellar results with various silver components and cabling. In this case I hear no deleterious effect... | |
| Upscale Audio and Primaluna Based on my long term experience in audio, lots of characters in this field of endeavor. In early days easy for me to take offense at perceived slights, over time I learned to listen and react in a curious manner. Knowledgeable and courteous respo... | |
| Any audiophiles into motorcycles Took delivery of my 2021 Ducati Supersport S yesterday. Fit and finish way above KTM RC390, should be based on price differential. The one thing I didn't expect was the ease of turn in, feels as flickable as KTM, and far more stable in turns than ... | |
| Where are the young audiophiles? I doubt the vast majority of young or old audiophiles are purchasing and or researching their audio purchases through audio dealers. Nearly all the audiophiles I deal with at any level are diy their systems. Look at plethora of mid level audio ava... | |
| Any audiophiles into motorcycles Not sure this is a representative sample, but where are the younger motorcyclists? Often hear talk about the disappearance of younger audiophiles, I fear the future of motorcycling is in greater doubt.I suspect cultural change brought about by inc... | |
| Any audiophiles into motorcycles Yep, comfort is an issue as you age, I get leg cramps after riding KTM for a few hours. I was thinking about purchasing an Aprilia RSV4 or Ducati Panagale, nope, not up for that severe lean because of wrist issues and pegs too high, leg cramps any... | |
| Best Digital Interface Apples to oranges apt description. Many if not most dac manufacturers optimize usb input, starting to see I2S implemented more often. I2S theoretically better, implementation is the key. I've found maximizing streaming experience is extremely comp... | |
| Where are the young audiophiles? I'm not worried about the future of high end audio. This is a golden age of audio for me, far more choices of equipment , music, and accessibility to that music; what a time to be a young, budding audiophile! Back when I was building my first sys... | |
| CD v Streamed I've found maximizing a streaming setup is a complex undertaking. Audiophilestyle forum was my go to for understanding the process. At this point I'm rather agnostic as to preference for my well over 2500 cd rips on Synology NAS vs. streaming Roo... | |
| So done with audiophile fuses This is an issue of inrush current at initial turn on. I've experienced boutique fuse failure only with tube amps and preamps, ss devices have never given me a problem. You can replace with higher value and they will survive the initial current su... | |
| I'm here for the sharing, not the snobery I've been here since the beginning, knew Arnie, the founder personally. Initially, this forum had a great sense of camaraderie, vast majority of us at earlier phases of building high end systems. Over time as systems improved more trolls appeared,... | |
| Favorite cable brand. I've had various favorites over the years, and have tried many higher end cables from lending library at Cable company. I'm done with spending huge money on cables. I now make my own power and IC's from various Helix DIY recipes. I use both VH Aud... | |
| Does a Tube Dac make sense? It all depends on how one builds a system. To my way of thinking I want the dac to maximize resolution and minimize coloration. Coloration can be incorporated from elsewhere in system.My Sabre chip dac would likely be considered on analytical side... |
