| Zavfino OCC SILVER DART 1.5 power cable This is an audio group where users discuss matters related to audio. Users here should be free to ask questions without being called "delusional," which is a form of mental illness. @cleeds Very well said. I think @jasonbourne52 is an ASR plant... | |
| Thought I’d share: Nicely done and practical DAC review Me too, but also check out reviews at www.soundnews.net — some of the best out there IMHO and he reviews lots of good, interesting stuff. That said, I thought Darko did a good job of explaining why product comparisons are so critical to creating a... | |
| Outlet - Shunyata vs Hubble 20 amp If it’s brass, it’s ass. +1 Maestro, Furutech, Porter Ports. Enjoy the Music did a shootout of several outlets years ago and Maestro did very well if I recall and was less expensive than other top outlets (Oyaide, etc.) so might be worth searchi... | |
| Im looking for the next upgrade. I'm not real sure which way I want to go Help! The Don Sachs pre I mentioned earlier is amazingly still available and actually dropped in price to $2250. Also there’s one in the cheaper metal case for only $1500. I’d take either of these over a PrimaLuna in a heartbeat, but that’s me. https:... | |
| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll I admit I’m more of a green, tree-hugger type, but I’m into audio for great sound and if it took a fire-breathing, Class-A monster to get the sound I love I wouldn’t think twice and would never say a word to anyone else who chose to go that route.... | |
| Coax to I2S Forgot to mention the Musician Leo DDC takes SPDIF (similar unit to Denafrips Hermes) and at around $1200 while not cheap is at least a bit less expensive. https://audioartcable.com/products/musician-leo-digital-interface | |
| CD Player - Dgital Out on Onkyo C-7030 Congrats! And thanks for the update. Of course you can always add a Remedy later if desired as it apparently works well with the 6000CDT. | |
| Amps for Focal Maestros Sweet! Congrats on the awesome new amps and thanks for the follow up. It’s always so gratifying when you finally find The One that does everything right. Enjoy! | |
| David Berning live My Quadrature Z monoblocks have a base that Steve designed. It’s made of copper and provides a multi-layer damping and ground system. @clio09 Yup, my DNA 0.5 has Steve’s Gravity Base he adapted from development work he did for Berning. Due to ... | |
| Flat Screen Television behind speakers +1 light blanket or even try a sheet. Too much absorption could suck the life out of the music. Not sure why you have the speakers close to the wall as that’s not doing you any favors either — your speakers need some room to breathe. | |
| Cables +1 @audphile1 I prefer the AZ Shotgun bi-wire cables to a single run and well within your budget. | |
| Bi-Wire Cables under $350 (Used or New) At that price level you might be better off getting a single run of better quality cable and good jumpers. | |
| Coax to I2S I recently added a used Denafrips Iris to enable me to use my Musician Pegasus i2S input and the improvement was huge. Even using these cheap Monoprice 0.5m cables provided a great improvement. BTW, the shorter the HDMI cable for i2S the better. ... | |
| David Berning live I recently ordered an LTA MZ2 to be both a preamp and headphone amp and looking forward to hearing the benefits of the ZOTL design. I also recently had my McCormack DNA 0.5 RevA amp get full upgrades through SMcAudio and was interested to learn t... | |
