| Focal Headphone Cable Replacement Satin Audio cables seem to offer good value. I was looking at the 8-braid version of their Hyperion silver-plated copper cable for only $100, but this is their mid level and they offer pricier cables as well. Best of luck. | |
| Backert Rhumba 1.3 OR Modwright LS 100 ? What aspects of sound reproduction are most important to you? | |
| JA Perspectives VS Tyler Acoustics Linbrook Sig System The Perspective’s crossover still operates on the basic principles of the patented Infinite Slope design — common to all JA speakers — with tweaks to the slopes for more optimized performance (this is paraphrased from what Jeff Joseph told me in p... | |
| Amp Upgrade time, $6000 budget, used or new. @soix take meds? Your attitude is arrogant, I’m a good person!and don’t deserve the sarcasm.@arctikdeth — Aw. You sound annoyed. Let’s call it even. As for being arrogant...@soix McCormack is some mighty fine gear, serviceable, reliable, mable ... | |
| JA Perspectives VS Tyler Acoustics Linbrook Sig System I wouldn’t downplay the significance of the proprietary JA Infinite Slope crossover. To my ears it gives the speakers a special sound that sets them apart, so I’d buy used Perspectives but that’s me. The JA Profiles would also be high on my rada... | |
| DSD DAC/Headphone amp for iPhone? Another potential option is the xDuoo HD05 Plus. Lots of power and good battery life, and it gets very solid reviews for sound and value. A bonus (at least to me) is that it gives you the ability to swap op amps so, along with the four different... | |
| O.K., downloads, streaming and more....but I still like many of my CD and SACD disks DAC all the way. CDPs are dying while DACs are flourishing. Frankly I’d consider something like an Innuos Zen Mini Mklll that you could easily load (i.e. load the disc into its slot and it stores it internally — done) all your discs into and play ... | |
| Need help on buying a streamer / network player I’m not a computer moron (pretty close tho), but regardless I absolutely HATE troubleshooting computer crap. HATE HATE HATE. If that sounds like you, I’d just bite the bullet, ditch the frustrating NAS, and get a server/streamer like the Innuos ... | |
| The Mhdt lab Balanced Pagoda DAC I’d be happy to put together reviews of equipment if I was compensated by a manufacturer to do so. But sadly I’m not a professional "Influencer" - I do have another job.@janehamble — That’s just a cop out and a load of crap. Most reviewers have ot... | |
| Headphone Amp for Focal Utopias? I will actually try to avoid listening until that 200 number is passed.Ha! Good one. Seriously though, congrats and welcome to the headphone world. I’m also a recent ‘phone adopter after being a 2-channel guy for a long time, and I’m really enj... | |
| Headphone amps do sound different Ok, I promise not to tell you about the LTA MZ2. Congrats on the big sonic jump. BTW, which integrated do you have? | |
| Amp Upgrade time, $6000 budget, used or new. Hey @arctikdeth, I think we got it. The horse is dead already. You had me at...do I own one, no.Now please go take your meds. | |
| The Mhdt lab Balanced Pagoda DAC Hey @teajay — without spoiling the upcoming review, can you share any differences between the Balanced Pagoda and the Tubadour SE? Understand if you can’t, and looking forward to reading the review. And thanks for the heads up. @janehamble — when ... | |
| Good Streamer with WiFi Connectivity If sound quality is important I’d go hardwired to the router. | |
| Good Tube Pre Amp under 2K There’s a Unison Research Unico Pre available here now for $2k that retailed north of $5k new. Unison makes good stuff. Best of luck. |
