| My new review for The Absolute Sound comparing AGD GAN amps with BHK300’s Nice objective review and better than typical TAS reviews because you deftly compare two excellent amps and articulately explain critical differences, which really provides a useful relative perspective on each amp rather than just extolling the v... | |
| Thin Line Between Critique and Courtrooms: A Dialogue on the Recent Audiophile Drama I think it’s fair to say @mahgister is guilty of smiley face emoji abuse. 😜😝🙄 | |
| Noob question about streaming . . . What improvements are you looking for, and what sound characteristics are most important to you? Sharing this info will get you much better recommendations here, and glad you’re upgrading your speakers — you’re in for a real treat! | |
| Give Up on Bacch? Looking forward to your thoughts and glad you have the time to evaluate. | |
| Re: streaming recommendations for newbie You could get a streamer/DAC combo unit like the Bluesound Node X or the Eversolo DMP-A6 and be off and running for under $1000. But, if you’re more serious about audio I’d go with a separate DAC and streamer as you can upgrade each in steps, whic... | |
| People complain about lack of bass, not enough mid range. Solution? Ok, I get it now. No room acoustic treatments needed and bi-amping is the key. I'm doing it all wrong. @baylinor Heh heh. As my buddy who’s a computer consultant used to say about his more tech-challenged clients — We’re dealing with about 100... | |
| Looking for an HDMI cable If you can make the 0.5m length work — that’s the shortest they seem to offer for this cable — then do that. i2S was initially designed to make connections internally within a component and so wasn’t designed for distance, so that’s the reason to... | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? I can’t even. | |
| Looking for an HDMI cable This DH Labs cable gets some good feedback here and won’t break the bank. With i2S you wanna go as short as possible as performance degrades with length. They’re offering 10% off if you give your email. Best of luck. https://silversonic.com/pr... | |
| Looking for an HDMI cable Are you looking for new or used? | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing You previously stated you surmise anyone who cannot hear differences that you perceive in cables, to have compromised hearing and/or equipment; that sure seems like professing to me. I’m unclear which stance you actually hold since it couldn’t... | |
| Small amp or all in 1 choice? Sounds like the SVS Prime Wireless Pro SoundBase does everything you want at a very reasonable price as long as it can run 2 pairs of speakers. One thing I don’t quite understand though — are you planning on listening to TV through two pairs of s... | |
| Best USB cable upgrade for around $1000 Just curious how the Wywires Platinum USB worked out? | |
| How do I get a job as a headphone reviewer? You can just contact the publisher/editor via email for sites like Soundstage, Part Time Audiophile, Stereonews.net, etc. and tell them you’re interested in reviewing headphones and a bit about your audio experience/equipment. They’ll probably as... | |
| Verity Audio speaker manufacturer silent... I was still holding out hope someone with deeper pockets and some vision would save the company and turn it around because IMHO the potential is there and is so very worth saving. Sigh. |
