| Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000? @knittersspouse - Glad to see that you have been at it for a while. At the end of the day, it’s all about enjoying the music. I am very bullish about digital. I think that’s the future: we will match the best table sound at a fraction of the cost... | |
| Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000? The good news is, one day in the near future, these technologies will be worth $500. I cannot blame the engineers for wanting to capitalize on their research and development. Too bad a lot of us won’t be around to enjoy them. I am glad that digita... | |
| Help me build up a jazz album collection. Can you suggest a must have album? You all do know that there are lists of the 50 greatest jazz albums already compiled on the internet, right? The 50 best jazz albums of all time | |
| Aries Cerat Helene vs MSB Premiere DAC vs Lampizator Pacific 2 The biggest mistake you could make is to buy either one based on someone else’s opinion. You might as well do mini mani moo and pick one. Good luck. | |
| XLR cable placement Easy! Put it between the DAC and the preamp and listen to it for one week, then move it to the other location and listen to it for another week. If you still can’t make up your mind then the location doesn’t matter. You can’t lose. Good luck and h... | |
| Stereo Times 2024 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS List @thecarpathian I think you got confused way before that if you think you are providing a public service correcting spelling and grammatical errors on the internet. No one cares besides you. | |
| Stereo Times 2024 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS List @thecarpathian I said we counting the other posters like @fthompson251 who said: “I am forever thankful to Terry for his pointing me to the Coda S5.5.I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!”. I am not the only one who thinks you should let go and frankly should h... | |
| ACTUAL MUSICAL SOUND VS. MEASUREMENTS @ghdprentice +1 | |
| Stereo Times 2024 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS List @devinplombier Oui, oui. I know. Looks like my spellchecker sneaked it in on me and I was half asleep at midnight. Thanks. ‘My point to @thecarpathian is that no one cares. We don’t read Terry’s reviews for his prose but because we appreciate... | |
| ACTUAL MUSICAL SOUND VS. MEASUREMENTS @mswale Physics is physics, and math is math. Those are usually not open to debate. Sorry, but you couldn’t be more wrong. Science is always open to debate. That’s why most of what we know about physics today is called scientific theories... | |
| HAVE CABLES EVER TAKEN YOUR SYSTEM FROM SOUNDING JUST OK TO SOUNDING GREAT? Experiences ? @steakster Which position is the right one? The most dramatic or the one that places the triangle where it was in the original recording? That’s the goal, right? Was it a live session? | |
| Stereo Times 2024 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS List @thecarpathian You still didn’t get it right. Yours is what is called in French, accent grave (è). What you want is an accent aigue (é). Criticizing is so much easier, isn’t it? | |
| If you HAD to purchase a used (over 4 years old) DAC, what would it be? @aberyclark I don’t have to. I like what I have. | |
| Stereo Times 2024 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS List Looks like we have some English teachers here who get seriously offended by grammatical and spelling errors. I understand their frustration. With spellcheckers and AI chipping at their jobs, they fear that soon they will be a dying breed. Funny th... | |
| How many subs? There is one device that can configure them for you in the frequency domain and in the time domain with the push of a button: DSpeaker 8033, up to 4 subs. I sold mine when I bought an AVR that could configure 4 subs but regret that I did now. The ... |
