| What do the arrows mean on my cable? I thought I read that in interconnects one side can be connected to ground, which makes direction an issue. Am I making this up or is it a thing? | |
| REL Carbon Special in the house! I’d highly doubt it. Too many new variables but who knows, might be a good starting point. | |
| Class D for Repatriated Merlin TSM MMI @sbank Nice recovery, and it’s probably true. | |
| Have opportunity to buy BHK 300's or Pass Labs 250.8 for my Thiel 3.7's- thoughts?? DOH!!! Thanks @unsound. What an amateur mistake. I feel shame. | |
| Have opportunity to buy BHK 300's or Pass Labs 250.8 for my Thiel 3.7's- thoughts?? Sorry both deals fell through — that sucks. As another potential option, McCormack and Thiel have always made for a synergistic pairing, and there’s a nice DNA-1 on USAM for around $2295 that’s probably negotiable as it’s been listed since mid Jun... | |
| What do the arrows mean on my cable? I inadvertently reinstalled the digital cable between my transport and DAC once and my system literally sounded broken. That was a miserable 5 minutes until I figured out what I did wrong, and once the cable was installed back correctly all was w... | |
| Best budget USB @lollipopguild Just fyi and so you know it’s not just me, a few others here have tried Lavri and all have been very happy with their performance and in all cases they bested the cables they replaced. I found them because I thought the Apple Camera... | |
| Best budget USB I bought a 1m LavriCable Ultimate Silver Dual USB cable because the data and power runs are separated physically as two separate cables and it uses 5N silver conductors — design features normally found in much pricier USB cables — but at US$124 it... | |
| Gustard R26 he is a great reviewer, and has a similar taste in sound as me. I have bought a lot of gear based on his reviews and he has been spot on. He is actually the only reviewer that I have any confidence in matching my sonic preferences. @yyzsantabar... | |
| Weak Link in chain as I upgrade from mid-fi? Just saw this review of the new Gustard R26 DAC and think it should be very high on your list of potential upgrade options. I trust this reviewer’s ears as his take on my Musician Pegasus DAC very closely mirrors my own impressions, so when he sa... | |
| Class D for Repatriated Merlin TSM MMI Well, I think you should stretch a little and go for the Atmasphere GaN momoblocks or the AGD Tempo di GaN amp as they’re only $400 -$500 over your budget and will very likely give you many years of SOTA sound reproduction. As a backstop and if yo... | |
| Class D for Repatriated Merlin TSM MMI Budget? What sound characteristics are most important to you? | |
| Gustard R26 Wow, that’s one helluva review and looks like one helluva DAC, especially for the price. | |
| Weak Link in chain as I upgrade from mid-fi? what is the best solution to getting some controlled but blended oomph in the lower octaves? Good question and kinda where I was going. Possibly the most impactful and immediate improvement you could make would be to add a pair of good subs — y... | |
| Recommendations please! @nymarty Will do. Your DNA-1 would be $2800 for the same upgrade and $3500 if you choose the full Gravity base instead of the Jr. version, so your guess was right in the ballpark. |
