| Uptone Audio LPS-1.2 Failures I should add, I've been using Uptone JS 2 to power a variety of devices for years, no problems whatsoever. Uptone makes quality products. | |
| Uptone Audio LPS-1.2 Failures Problem with that ps is relatively low amperage output, many devices run off them placed great strain on it. I always use linear power supplies that can supply an excess of amperage to devices it powers. Running lps with little amp margin runs th... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Just noticed I misspoke in last post, meant to say OpticalModule to match my OpticalRendu. OpticalModule replaces generic FMC, less self generated noise and much better clocking with module vs generic. The Muon will replace two generic FMC PRIOR t... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @melm ,Yep, the 005 will expose virtually all changes. Try some quality ethernet cables, easily heard improvement over many generic iterations in streaming setup from many years ago, meaning I heard this in much lower resolution setup. Update ... | |
| Audioquest Vodka vs Wireworld Starlight 8 (Not Platinum) Ethernet In my steaming setup, this some years ago, both WW compared to various models of AQ up to Vodka. In general WW what i'd consider analytical vs all AQ models. For me, all AQ more forgiving, with increased transparency, resolution as you go up the... | |
| Best turntable for the buck I don't know if $4k will get you there. Digital does transparency and resolution pretty well at relatively lower price. Analog requires much higher expenditure than the $4k you're talking about. My digital surpassed my analog on transparency/resol... | |
| The review wehave been promising is up Haven't read TAS reviews in years. Context very meaningful, and that includes all price ranges. So, if context doesn't matter, why do we even need to know rest of equipment in system review piece being inserted into. Why even bother to tell us how... | |
| Best progressive rock album side Some believed Klaatu were actually the Beatles. | |
| Need suggestions: High pitched female singers Yep, Minnie Riperton, first to come to mind, four octive range. I like her work with Rotary Connection, very unique sound. As an aside, her mother was the inspiration for Cab Calloway's, "Minnie The Moocher". | |
| Do audiophiles creat the high prices we complain about. I can't help but think some equipment manufacturers pursue high profit margin, low production business model for prestige and/or less hassle. High production, lower profit model may require higher input costs such as management, marketing and grea... | |
| I use qobuz and roon, Play lists seem really bad, what do I do? Previously used Soundiiz, with Roon I only use self made playlists, from both Tidal and Qobuz, don't care for the curated playlists Do like Roon radio, while I haven't checked out this feature, if radio songs could be pulled from history to creat... | |
| How many speakers and AMPS do you own, and why? I have 2 sets of speakers, 3 amps. Keep the extra speakers since major pain to box up and ship, three amps for back ups in case of possible power tube failures. I only have one set of boutique tubes for each, don't care to listen to second rate tu... | |
| 2019 Mac Pro vs. Roon I can think of one area where your computer would have advantage over most dedicated server, in that you have powerful processor, great if one is using dsp such as HQPlayer. In just about every other way, GS computer inferior. Noise is the culpri... | |
| Old CDs and records I did say vast majority of artists always get screwed. I can't help we live in society/culture that doesn't value artists more highly. If we did, artists as a whole would have the power to alter supply/demand structure to favor themselves. As thin... | |
| Basic switch....should I upgrade? Many different takes on switches continues. I agree, lps on present switch is good way to go. In my case, not convinced of using any switch, Netgear router with lps better than audiophile switch, or any switch for me. I recently went FMC route... |
