| Led Zep Fool in the Rain @quincy Thanks for that. I hadn’t heard it, but that made me think, why? Then I realized I don’t own any Led Zep albums. Yeah, I know. I also don’t own any Who albums, which made me ask, why? Upon further reflection I realized I’ve never been a fa... | |
| DAC comparison. Cheap vs expensive with 15 test tracks Always wanted to try the VBS, but rarely for sale separately Yeah, and although I’m not familiar with your 1.5 it may well need to be upgraded as well to even accept the VBS, so there’s that wrinkle as well. I’ll just say it’s worth keeping in... | |
| Help With New Preamp Decision You’ve got some excellent contenders but really depends on what improvements/sound characteristics you’re looking for as many of them sound very different, so personal taste is absolutely key. | |
| can subwoofers make things worse? That neck bearded reviewer on the vid though...he kinda looks/ sounds like a 1 note boom @deep_333 Heh heh. Good points BTW. | |
| New Amp... Is it time to switch my speaker cables?? Please don’t laugh, but these will do what you’re looking in spades (pun intended) at a bargain price. If I’m a liar you can turn around and sell them for little/no loss, but if they work you’ll save a bundle — so why not? https://www.usaudiomart... | |
| Led Zep Fool in the Rain @onhwy61 Thanks for that — hadn’t seen it before. Gotta love Bernie Purdie! The Purdie shuffle was actually the first shuffle I learned and then moved on to Bonzo’s “Fool in the Rain” shuffle that’s a quite bit different. @hifiguy42 Thanks for br... | |
| Led Zep Fool in the Rain @roxy54 Yeah, I didn’t really think of that but you may well be right. Good point. | |
| DAC comparison. Cheap vs expensive with 15 test tracks Bel Canto makes really nice DACs that I think fly somewhat under the radar today. I reviewed their DAC3 and then their DAC3VB with their virtual battery supply (VBS) and they were excellent. It was amazing how much improvement the VBS provided t... | |
| Why do I prefer R2R over Chip based DAC's? @cdc Just generalizing because there can obviously be differences between individual models, but my experience is an overall more natural sound with better imaging and deeper 3D soundstage — this is versus a decent single-bit DAC BTW. Just my exp... | |
| "Count Me In" Documentary on Netflix That was a gift. I very much enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing. Not enough good shows about drummers out there. | |
| A Few Nice Words For Upscale Audio Nice! Thanks for sharing and glad your pre is back and better than ever. | |
| New streamer I think you should add Innuos to your list. Excellent streamers and customer support, and their Sense app gets top marks for both sound and usability. Here’s a used Zen Mk3 that’s in your budget, and it’s also got a cd drive and onboard storage ... | |
| Integrated amplifier for Martin Logan Ethos Really depends on what sound characteristics/improvements you’re looking for, and several of the amps you listed sound very different from one another. Also, the DAC is very important and I’d advocate for buying a standalone DAC if you really want... | |
| can subwoofers make things worse? @sudnh Note he did not say SVS was a one-note boom sub and said it was capable of doing bass tonality. In general are they as good as REL or Rythmik in that area, no. But neither are they a one-note boom box as you imply. That he lumps JL Audio... | |
| Best sounding headphones you have owned? @yyzsantabarbara Why did you sell your SR1a ‘phones? |
