| DIY Spekon Cable For Rel Presently using Duelund tin plated copper, I believe 12awg. I run 300B monoblocks with two REL, I use only single wire plus ground to each amp, excessive bass with two signal wires. This is a litz cable, have VH Audio Airlock, a solid core cable t... | |
| Sonore Signature Rendu SE Sonore Sig. Rendu vs the separates. My take on this is quality of lps supplied the separates makes a great deal of difference. I use Uptone JS-2 on OpticalRendu, this quality choke based lps, superior to lps in SigRendu. I've also found the Finis... | |
| Your journey with lower-watt tube amps -- Can a kit be good enough? Sorry to be a contrarian, but I did not find the VTA ST70 to be my cup of tea, this even with my own upgrades with resistors,caps internal wire, highest quality tubes. Keep in mind this at the end of my journey with class a/b tubes. . Part of... | |
| Linear Power Supply Recommendations! Uptone JS-2 is a choke based lps with two outputs, differs from the usual resistor/cap lps | |
| Neat "Tweaks" to improve the SQ of your streamed music!!! For those going optical conversion, not all is equal. Sonore converters superior to generic, quality of lps and dc cables going to the converters important. Transceivers used in these converters can also be improved, best are Finisar SFP 1475. | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. For those who believe GR offers no value with these mods, have you ever compared a modified to stock loudspeaker? I've been modifying my speakers for over twenty years, I've found great improvements can be had with top flight film caps, resistors,... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @brbrock In case you haven't seen tech and specs, http://www.mu-sound.com/DA006_detail.html Based on internal photos and sound quality/performance I'd suggest 006 isn't lacking in this respect. Resolution and dynamics, both micro and macro are top... | |
| Question about high current amps versus "not high current amps" Not only low impedance but impedance curves matter greatly as well. | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @wombat79 Comparisons are always informative, 006 does reach far above it's cost. @car123 Nice vinyl setup, I've heard most of your equipment at shows. Says a lot that you feel Musetec competes or surpasses it. Same vs my vinyl setup consistin... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. Why the anger for all this. I constantly hear audiophiles harping on the lack of negative reviews of equipment, so now we don't like negative reviews! He's providing a service, up to his customers to determine the value of that service. And... | |
| Declare the correct value on the Customs form? Listen to those who know. This is returned goods, no duty, no fraud, I've done this exact thing when I've had upgrades done with my Canadian build equipment (US to Canada shipment). If you list value as $50, how would that bring up red flag, t... | |
| ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT @vthokie83 Nice thorough explanation. For those contemplating using I2S interface very valuable to have dac that provides the ability to use async (use dac internal clock) with that connection, with this one can determine the value of slave or int... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship When I first installed Gaia was using an inferior power cord and sitting on stock feet. Added one of my diy power cords (these replaced pc's up to $7k throughout system) and placed on Stillpoints, easily heard improvement. I wish everyone with... | |
| ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT Whatever interface one uses they all can be less or more depending on one's optimization. While I2S has some inherent advantages that doesn't mean it will always sound better than usb or whatever. Clocking and power supplies to the clocks is of u... | |
| The Real Reason Why Music Is Getting Worse!! I get the criticisms for the pop music of today, many artists simply slapping out product using technology to cover up a lack of talent. But there are so many contemporary artists and music out there, real artistry produced with the tried and true... |
