| Has Anyone Auditioned an LKS MH-DA004 DAC? He should understand high profile reviews will be needed to sell in numbers. As it is, I can only state how 005 compares to a couple of $1500 dacs, well worth the extra money for me. My present plans are to get a Holo May in fall, definitely want ... | |
| Has Anyone Auditioned an LKS MH-DA004 DAC? Melm, thanks for responding.I have a more in depth review of 005 over at head fi under 'Four years after lks 004. More forgiving in my use of word can mean one of two things. Less resolving equipment can be more forgiving as it can make lesser qua... | |
| Has Anyone Auditioned an LKS MH-DA004 DAC? Not sure if anyone will see this, but I've directly compared MH-004, Auralic Vega, Okto Dac8 stereo and Musetec MH DA005. 004 higher resolution than Vega, Vega superior musicality, more forgiving. Okto at least equal resolution to 004 with greater... | |
| Is It Time To Sell My Vinyl Rig? So, you prefer your digital setup, only have 200 albums and need funds for surgery. It appears you've already made your decision, sell the vinyl rig, get the surgery! I'd keep the albums in case you get back into vinyl in future. | |
| VINYL SUCKS! The major difference for me is digital streaming is about new discoveries, massive genre changes, all within one continuous listening session. Like my favorite mix tape all the time. Vinyl is mostly about nostalgia for me, memories of way back lis... | |
| members and their systems I suspect accumulation is the key to how many get to higher priced systems. I started out many years ago asking the same question; all this high priced equipment, how can people afford it?Starting out with beginner equipment, over many years buyin... | |
| Worst Concerts You Have Attended ?? Easy one here. The absolute worst, Todd Rundgren and Utopia, Hill Auditorium, Ann Arbor, mid 70's, worse than many high school bands I'd heard up to that point. My friend and I stuck it out to the end, perhaps half of audience had left prior. Big... | |
| Schumann Resonator I started using SR's many years ago, at first a single up near ceiling, front wall, centered between speakers. Sound stage greater height but more recessed than without. Added second near ceiling, behind listening position, centered. This pulled s... | |

Engineering expertise, how those parts are put together. This is more difficult to ascertain, one ha... | |
| Dedicated power Two dedicated lines is the way to go. In my case high current tube SET amp benefited from it's own line. Everything else on other circuit with power conditioner, all digital equipment powered by linear power supplies. Switching power supplies inje... | |
| Does Age Matter? 67, started streaming and ripped cd's about five years ago, changed my listening habits for much the better! Prior to that was mostly listening to cd's with a lesser quality analog setup. I was content with cd listening but the analog revival spu... | |
| A deeper more holographic soundstage. Wow, OP has to be totally confused after all this! Unfortunately, optimizing audio systems is very complex undertaking, lots of good advice through thread. Only personal experience with advice here will get you to system's full potential. Changes... | |
| Does Anyone Think CD is Better Than Vinyl/Analog? Very few could give a definitive answer, one would need to equalize vinyl and digital setups. And can that equalization be proven? Ultimately it would be something like Michael Fremer level analog vs. MSB, Totaldac, etc. And then you have the iss... | |
| Why is there no love for Prima Luna? I own PL Dialogue Four amp, didn't much care for sound in stock form, too solid state for my setup. Modded with Takman carbon resistors, Miflex Kpcu, mundorf film and electrolytic caps, so much better! Newer PL equipment comes with Takmans. I regu... | |
| Audiophile demographics? Applying stereotypes to audiophiles based on sex may be problematic. What is the percentage of males who are audiophiles? Likely less than 1% of total male population. The vast majority of men don't get it any more than the women. I suspect nurt... |
