| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @branislav I was perhaps the first or one of the first people in North America to purchase 005 two and a half years ago, purchased totally blind without a single review I was aware of. I had previously purchased LKS004 with intention to fully mod... | |
| What are we objectivists missing? What are objectivists missing? Trust in their senses, which may be good thing in that certain individuals have a less developed aural acuity. | |
| Tube interference from router EMI/RFI certainly a problem. I have Trifield Meter, you'd be amazed how much RFI generated by transformers. Shielding and proper placement of components can greatly affect system noise. Some manufacturers take this issue seriously and provide shie... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I’ve heard the DAC in my system, it sounds lovely, pure as a pure thing, no hint of any distortion. This from Rich Trussell of Network Acoustics fame, he sold his MM. | |
| Hot Rats Frank was a very intelligent cat. Some believe his put downs directed at them, could be. In that case they're justified in their disdain for him. I've always gotten the joke, never taking myself too seriously. | |
| Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming While I hate to say this, as generic FMC can be very nice upgrade, one can still further optimize optical. Generic FMC use pretty lousy clocks and noisy regulators, last FMC in chain injects it's own noise into network, and this, most likely close... | |
| Politics and Music Just off the top of my head, The American Ruse by MC5, really matched my perception of just about everything. I also very much identified with Respect Yourself, Staple Singers, I was very much an outlier in those days, alienated from both the 'sys... | |
| Hot Rats Oh yeah! Saw him three times in George Duke era, always a great show! | |
| Original Cary 300B Monos Reliability? @leahy Hopefully you won't have issues with the Cary monoblocks, While I can't speak to those exact amps, I did run SLM 100 monoblocks back in the day. The Jentzen coupling caps Dennis was using at the time were known to leak, sure that's been add... | |
| Best progressive rock album side @spiritofradio Yes, you did mention Bundles per Soft Machine. Some of the entries I'd not considered as prog rock prior to looking up definition of the genre. Far wider based than I thought based on these various definitions. As for prog r... | |
| Ethernet - Analog/Digital Signal Clean Up I too like the Sonore products. If going optical route with usb dac, Sonore OpticalRendu is sublime. Powered by Uptone JS-2 easily one the best network and usb rendering upgrades I've made. Whether one chooses to go optical or ethernet, only o... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @americanspirit Very nice! You're hearing exactly what we hear, 005 has ability to present music and/or live performers in room without artifice. You're assumption it may compete with dacs ten times its price may be correct. Since adding the F... | |
| Streaming vs Physical Media Matching clocks is another often overlooked issue with clocks. Sine wave vs square wave, what freq. running at. I recently experienced what I presume this issue in rather recent negative experience with audiophile switch. I believe John at Uptone ... | |
| I'm at the pearly gates and they tell me I can only bring in one jazz cd At one place they ain't giving you the choice, the other one would become a hell for me, having only one cd to play over and over again for eternity! This is why I can't play any best ever games, variety is the essence of what's best for me. | |
| Ethernet - Analog/Digital Signal Clean Up Sorry, wasn't totally clear, I meant streaming dac. Separate streamer and dac is another option, not clutter free, however. |
