| Revisiting PPT Perfect Path Technologies Graphene Contact Enhancer Contact enhancers can be effective. The issue for me was the effects wear off after awhile. At that point the question becomes reapply, which means continual outlay of cash and cleaning the old enhancer off or just forget about it. I chose forget ... | |
| Well...I am taking the plunge into digital.. Streaming can be both frustrating and incredibly enjoyable. One can have relatively simple setup, for the curious many rabbit holes to go down. I'm in curious camp, steep learning curve in beginning, network stuff can be very complex, over time t... | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... @glory That is one nice serverr! Always impressed by Antipodes technology, they understand how to optimize various outputs on their servers, not many do. Also have slightly different take on power supplies. | |
| Forgotten heavy bands from late 60's to early 70's Toad, Swiss band with members from Brainticket and lead guitarist from Hawkwind. For some real heavyosity try some Krautrock bands like Eloy, Faust, Amon Duul, Ash Ra Temple. As others have mentioned Michigan bands like MC5, Frigid Pink, Bob Seger... | |
| Do I really need an " Audio Grade Network Switch "? At this point no single best streaming solution has been discovered. @jumia You'd think 100% galvanic isolation would make anything prior superfluous, this not the case. Every single component in streaming chain will manufacture noise and/or allo... | |
| Holo May KTE vs Meitner MA3 Attempting to fairly compare Meitner against most other dacs problematic in that Meitner has much proprietary engineering, built in streamer and preamp function. Meitner is really all in one component, hook it up to server, good to go. The Holo re... | |
| Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle And also important to use nice receptacles in power conditioners as well, for my BPT Sig 3, Oyaide R1 and PorterPorts as well. And then we have IEC's, these can also be changed out as well, Furutech makes some nice ones, some with filters. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Well, I actually owned the Okto Dac8 stereo, LKS005, LKS004, Auralic Vega and total diy Frankenstein Perpetual Technologies setups all coincidentally or within short period of time from each other. All except the Okto large parts count, if parts c... | |
| When You Buy The Whole Album And Only Like One Song. I probably have over 6,000 cd's and albums, far too many sit unused and stashed away all over house due to excessive filler and or changing musical interests. Not a very utilitarian use of resources. I find much greater utility in streaming, I onl... | |
| Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum? Why is freedom, freedom, freedom such a calling card today? Having real freedom means not only receiving the benefits of that freedom, but also the costs or consequence of that freedom. Cancel cultures promoted by people from all over the pol... | |
| hana sl or one of the AT-ART9? @stone1 I have Modwright SWP9.0SE, 68db gain. I've not heard any of these cartridges, my choice would be based solely on reviews of all. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? @jafant Hilarious memory of seeing Black Flag at Pontiac, Michigan venue back in the day, same night Pope was appearing at Silverdome. Spike haired, chains, leather, nose and body rings passing by pure polly and paul purebreds on street, totally h... | |
| Does Formula 1 racing and high end audio go together for anyone else? I observe road racing, both cars and bikes is Euro centric, straight line and ovals an American obsession. Wonder if there's correlation between type of racing preferred and audiophiles. Speaking of nitwits, got out on the bike yesterday for f... | |
| hana sl or one of the AT-ART9? Recently, I've been looking at the three cartridges you mention for upgrade. I have more gain with my phono stage, so based on my research of reviews I'd pick the XA. Assuming you have enough gain XA is the way to go. | |
| Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle Oyaide R1 is very nice. I tried a number of receptacles with my power conditioner and wall outlets, combo of R1's and PorterPorts is what I ended up with. |
