| Interesting video on cables So many DDCs, so little time. BTW, and if u don’t mind me asking, what’s the rest of the equipment, cables, etc. in ur system? | |
| Interesting video on cables I have considered purchasing the Gaia DDC for the IS2 connection to see where that takes things. Nice DAC! I think that’s a great thought but not sure you need to go all the way to the Gaia. You could pick up a used Iris for $400 (that’s what I... | |
| Upgrading cd player I asked the dealer if u could take home the Mac to demo on my system and he said he can’t do it. So I don’t even know if it’s worth hearing it on their Mac system. So, the dealer has a chance at a $12k sale and he won’t let you take his demo u... | |
| SACD is VERY confusing Isn't the point to sell SACD's? Making it difficult for people to hear them at their best by putting up roadblocks doesn't seem like much of a business plan. A good question. Possibly because the old factor of....greed, got the better of them.... | |
| Interesting video on cables Sorry man. I feel like I’ve been a bit of a preachy jerk here. I’m surprised you didn’t hear an appreciable improvement with the HiFi Rose streamer, but I’m also a huge believer in following and trusting your own ears and if you heard what you h... | |
| Interesting video on cables Ok. I get it. It’s a process and a progression. But don’t say things like this… These are USB cables but I’m sure the principle applies to speaker and IC cabling. because that’s not accurate and why I said something. No good audio-purposed... | |
| SACD is VERY confusing There are thousands of people out there buying SACDs I think you mean hundreds. | |
| Interesting video on cables Ok, Apple is NOT a cable company. Period. They’re a computer company that lightly dabbles a bit in making some cheap cables purely for computer purposes. That’s it. I used their Camera Adapter for a little bit to get music outta my iPhone/iPad... | |
| Interesting video on cables These are USB cables but I’m sure the principle applies to speaker and IC cabling. No, not really. This is geared more toward computer audio/video than USB as it’s used in more serious audio applications like sending a signal between a streame... | |
| ISO - grit, texture, decay, life from snares and bass drums I’ll look into ATC - any particular models as a good value. As you seem to be looking at speakers in the $3k range I’d recommend the SCM19 v2. Music Direct offers a return policy so I’ll include their link here… https://www.musicdirec... | |
| Looking for intermediate-step Streamer: better than BS Node and not @ Bartok level pricing @mitch2 Unfortunately I don’t have experience with the Pulse and not many do as it’s a relatively new model, and there are frustratingly few reviews of any of the Pulse-series streamers so they’re still a bit of an unknown but likely to share ma... | |
| Ideas for Pre/Power $9000? I'd split your budget in half. Half for amplification and half for new speakers. Big +1 @ozzy62 Dang. I realize that the Elacs are not high-end, but I didn't guess I'd have to toss them out before upgrading the amps. If you’re spending th... | |
| My VERY POSITIVE Experience with VTV and Warren Coleman (Attention: Sound Lab Owners!) Just curious what made you choose the Hypex amp over their Purify models? | |
| Endgame Vocal+ DAC Help: Terminator Plus 12th vs. Chord DAVE vs. Holo May vs. Weiss502. Don’t matter how you get there, just that you get there so CONGRATS! I will say I’ve never heard anyone say the Terminator sounds “glassy,” but there it is. Enjoy man, and Goodonya! Love hearing stories like this as they’re few and far between. | |
