| Campfire Trifecta cable recommendations Maybe it’s worth trying the Amp 13 card with the iBasso (if you’re not already using it of course)? This review seems to indicate it might be a better fit for something like the Trifecta. Frankly I find the reviewer to be a bit confusing as he s... | |
| Help me with the next step after the Sony Hap 1zes… Yeah, budget and associated equipment would be most helpful here. | |
| Campfire Trifecta cable recommendations I’ll ask again — what specific iBasso and iFi players are you using? | |
| When did you put the most effort in setting up your audio system? Immediately after my divorce. @sounds_real_audio Ha! When I relocated and was in a 14’ x 14’ second floor apartment it was a nightmare especially dealing with bass as you might imagine, and despite a lot of effort never got great and balanced s... | |
| Campfire Trifecta cable recommendations After 200 hours break in Campfire Trifecta sounds bright using iBasso and iFi headphone amps. With the supplied balanced cable, the Trifecta sounds better - less bright. I’m confused — if the Trifectas sound better with the stock balanced cable... | |
| Solved my streaming grunge (inner detail) problem Glad you figured it out as that must’ve been very frustrating. Very interesting info, and thanks a lot for sharing! | |
| USB Cable measurementalism @cleeds Not sure if that’s a word, but I like it!!! Fitting that it contains the word “mental” in it and also makes it sound like the cult that it really is — killing two birds. Hey, “ain’t” wasn’t initially in the dictionary... | |
| Who is using I2S cables? @donruydesilva It’s highly dependent on how your DAC inputs have been designed (which input sounds best) and if the i2S pin configuration on your DAC and transport can communicate with each other as there currently is no standard for this connecti... | |
| Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like? @atmasphere @lalitk Just to be clear, I found the review informative and loved how he compared the new amps to the M-60 and found the GaN amp to lack nothing compared to an excellent OTL amp (just as Ralph has maintained all along). That part mean... | |
| Sopra No 2's or other alternatives? I’d be interested in your perspective on the, er, Perspectives. Sorry. | |
| XLR cables for a reasonable price? One of the problems, and a big one, as I see it, is Ralph’s endless self-advertising. As if there were no other good amps or engineering approaches. There are, and many. +1 @jim2 and I couldn’t disagree more with this statement from @inna. Ther... | |
| Preamp to Pair with NAD M23 @docroasty Love to hear your impressions of the Atmasphere amps once they’re settled in. | |
| Auralic Vega G2 or Denafrips Pontus II 12th + streamer? Do you use tube amplification or SS? I was a little concerned with the Orchid given I'm going to be running it through tubes. I feel like it might get a little too warm sounding overall. That sounds like a very valid concern and may be a good a... | |
| What’s the most underrated used Audio Research gear? Maybe not sleeper, but I always thought the “SE” versions of stock ARC components were meaningful (but pricey) upgrades and when bought used you get the upgraded versions at a very nice discount. Kinda like when you buy used SMcAudio-upgraded McC... | |
| Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like? Where is his very precise review of these new mono blocks against all the LATEST class D or otherwise,,,,,done directly in his listening room, RIGHT NOW. NOT there....not there at all. How does the Atmas-sphere compare to a Benchmark amp, to a VT... |
