| audible illusions vs supratek, vs holoaudio vs backert Need to know what sound characteristics you’re looking for. | |
| Which complete set of cables to try out? Acoustic Zen is definitely worth a look. Very natural and organic sounding yet still nicely detailed. | |
| 48kHz vs 96kHz: audible? I had some songs in both 16/44.1 and 24/96 and there was a definite difference. The 24/96 versions sounded smoother and more full/rich. Anyway, that was my experience | |
| Apple iPad music streamer I’ve been doing it this way too and got a nice boost in detail, transparency, imaging, and soundstage by ditching the Apple Camera adapter and getting the one from LavriCable. I was happy until I hooked up my CD transport and realized it sounded ... | |
| Looking for nearfield passive speakers that are warm and rich New or used?? | |
| Should I upgrade the cable of my Line Conditioner? There are a lot of companies that sell direct with generous trial periods and offer a lot of value for the money (Triode Wire Labs, Cullen, Morrow, etc.) so it’s easy to just try some for yourself. The other option is to buy used and just re-sell... | |
| I bought Emotiva GR1's to replace the Monolith 1060c's From the review I read on Part Time Audiophile they sound a bit tilted to the bass that can overwhelm the highs. If you’re into that sound I guess you’ll be good. If you’re looking for a more neutral and perhaps more refined sound, I’d recommend... | |
| Budget DAC recommendation for Office system I think you’ll be fine with the Modi 3, but I’d definitely pony up the extra 120 bucks to get the multibit version as that is their strength and probably adds a good dose of musicality and refinement. Best of luck. | |
| Are you pairing Tube Preamp/Line Stage with Class D Power Amp? Nice preamp! Obviously AGD should be on your list along with Ralph’s new amp and maybe even LSA if that’s more in your budget. I will say I heard Joseph Audio Pulsars at a show powered by Bel Canto mono block amps, which honestly shocked me, and I... | |
| Which Preamp with JC5? Rogue Audio RP-9 or Parasound JC2 So, I gotta ask — what are you looking to improve upon over the Sachs pre? I’d think that’d deliver everything you’re looking for. | |
| 48kHz vs 96kHz: audible? Were they both at 24 bits? | |
| Upsampling PCM or DSD in 2022 FI know in the past years casting Qobuz that I notice the difference between 16-bit and 24-bit content. But I haven’t picked up on SQ improvements based solely on sample rate. Yup. I notice a notable difference between 16/44.1 and 24/96 — not s... | |
| Conditioner vs. Surge protector Unless you need whole-house surge protection, I’d go with one of the better conditioner/surge protectors (Audience, Core Power, Synergistic, Shunyata, etc.) because you get cleaner power that often provides meaningful sonic benefits along with sur... | |
| Pre, pro $3k Anthem. | |
| The Best Preamp is no Preamp? I just re-read the post and realized the OP was using a damn AVR as a preamp. And not just any AVR, but a Marantz AVR which, IME is one of the most veiled and colored AVRs out there. So no wonder when the OP heard the detail and transparency of ... |
