| Opinions on McIntosh MHA200? Given Mac products can be very polarizing and often have a particular “sound” I personally wouldn’t buy their headphone amp unless I could hear it first. I would give Linear Tube Audio a call and ask them if their new Velo amp has sufficient powe... | |
| Headphones for sound control Your Ayre seems to have enough power for the Senns so certainly worth a shot. | |
| Do I need upgraded power cables? There are times though (especially in dense musical passages) that the sound is stage is a blur - as if of all the instruments are coming from the same place. A good power conditioner can sometimes help individual images pop by reducing noise. ... | |
| LAIV uDDC Arrived I should say I’m a fan of what LAiV is doing as a company and am rooting for them to succeed, and I’m asking about the clock purely out of curiosity. The fact that the OP realized significant improvements (as did I when I added an Iris to my syste... | |
| Sonus Faber Grand Piano Home for Mixed Genre? Congrats and enjoy! | |
| LAIV uDDC Arrived @jazzman7 That’s exactly what I was wondering, but if it’s a highly-evolved Femto clock I’d think they’d go into more detail on their site because it’s a critical factor. I’ll go look at reviews to see if any more info on it, but there’s not muc... | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? @westcoastaudiophile Three words — Audio Science Review. Go there. You’ll love it. They’re your peeps. | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? claiming as thicker than 100ft house wiring 3ft PC will tangibly affect sound is not justified! @westcoastaudiophile It is absolutely justified if just you use your ears. | |
| Do I need upgraded power cables? The Panamax certainly isn’t doing you any favors. I’d replace that first with a good conditioner as that would benefit all your components at once and then address individual power cords when you can after that. The EQUI=CORE 1000 offers balanced ... | |
| LAIV uDDC Arrived Maybe somebody here can answer this, but from what I can see the uDDC uses a Femto clock, but I would’ve expected at least a TXCO clock — am I missing something here? I believe the T2 has an OCXO clock, so would using the uDDC with i2S mean you’r... | |
| Wifi vs ethernet revisited It would be interesting to hear your thoughts on #4 if you get around to it as it would be a more apples-to-apples comparison with #1. Or I suppose taking fiber out of #1 and comparing to #3 could also be interesting. In any event it’s interesti... | |
| The new dCS Varese DAC...it is so good that all others are now relegated to history?? Did he bother to compare it to anything else? I assume if it’s a typical TAS review he did not. | |
| How remove odor from interconnect? If you can’t get rid of the odor maybe try inserting them into some plastic or cellophane tubing and seal at both ends. Best of luck. | |
| LAIV uDDC Arrived What cable are you using? | |
| 1 meter speaker cables You should be fine. The longer lengths will still exhibit the basic sound characteristics inherent in the design. |
