| Pass Labs Int 25 vs Int 60 I have the INT-25 and it is among the best amps I have heard. Integrated of course. It's silky, like velvet. Warm, rich, huge, impactful, real, and has an immensely deep soundstage and just the right amount of details. The 60, which I do not own b... | |
| New JBL L82 to replace L20t3’s? https://youtu.be/ksBuDdoOaOo | |
| MoFi Ultradeck or Technics 1200GR Had both here. For me the MiFi won hands down. All of this will depend on your system, amp, speakers, cables, room, etc. The Technics in my system was nice but lacked musical flow and was quite a bit more flat sounding. The MoFi was more alive, mu... | |
| What are the top 3 USB cables being used today in reference systems? USB cables do make a difference. Even into my $3500 DAC. I have 5 cables here now and some are NIGHT AND DAY, it's not even funny how much difference can be made with a USB cable in a well set up and resolving system. I use an AudioQuest Diamond a... | |
| Is it even possible to set up a system in 12x12 room? I am in a 12X13 room and I have never heard a better system in my lifetime of 35 years in HiFi. At shows, at dealers, no matter the cost. Starts with choosing the right speakers. Small ones. Avoid floor standers, and stay with small two way high q... | |
| Klipsch Heresy 4? My review: https://www.stevehuffphoto.com/2020/02/17/klipsh-heresy-iv-review-klipsh-steps-into-the-audiophile-r...Some of the best speakers I have owned, and I have owned speakers up to $45k. A steal at their cost, and lifetime keepers. I used to ... | |
| Klipsch Heresy IV Hey Big Greg. The photos in my review are almost all from Klipsch. The last one, is of them in my room. They are just about 3ft from the back wall and not pushed up against the wall in any way. One should never place speakers against a wall if the... | |
| Innuos - New Re-Clocker I compared the Bluesound Node 2i, a modded Sonos Connect and the Zen Mini III on it's own, with the Linear Power Supply and with the Phoenix. https://www.stevehuffphoto.com/2020/03/01/hifi-innuos-zen-mini-mkiii-review-with-phoenix-usb-re-cloc... | |
| Innous Zen Mini MK 3 I compared the Bluesound Node 2i, a modded Sonos Connect and the Zen Mini III on it's own, with the Linear Power Supply and with the Phoenix. https://www.stevehuffphoto.com/2020/03/01/hifi-innuos-zen-mini-mkiii-review-with-phoenix-usb-re-cloc...Ne... | |
| Innuos - New Re-Clocker I am using an Audioquest Diamond and Forest. Stock power cable for the Pheonix (and will not buy an aftermarket). I was reading a review of the Chord M Scaler and there was a paragraph there that explained EXACTLY what I find the Phoenix is doing ... | |
| Innuos - New Re-Clocker Yep, "From Vinnie Rossi on the L2 DAC module. On-board FPGA buffer and femto-reclocking circuitry negates effects of jitter. Isolated input stages."That is correct. Doesn't matter. This changes the sound and it's not a small difference. Again, I d... | |
| Innuos - New Re-Clocker Oh and my DAC is quite nice. It's a $3500 module. I have a Vinnie Rossi L2iSE with the L2 DAC. The Re-Clocker does improve the sound dramatically with the Mini III going into the L2 DAC. Not sure why or how but I do not care as all I care about is... | |
| Innuos - New Re-Clocker I will say that compared to the Zenith III, the Mini III with Reclocker brought me a little bit more body. Without the re-clocker the Zenith III wins over the Mini without question. With it, in my system, not really. I could have bought the Zenith... | |
| Klipsch Heresy IV I own the Heresy IV, reviewed them on my website and on YouTube. These speakers are a huge improvement over the III (I owned the III and enjoyed them). The IV are way more transparent, more wide open, have a huge soundstage, image amazingly well, ... | |
| Innuos - New Re-Clocker I have one on loan from my local dealer and have for about a week. Placing my order today after an entire week of testing it out. But I use a Zen MINI MKIII and it drastically improves it with exactly the same things LiquidSound said above. When I... |
