| dacs that I have had in my system - a listing @jjss49 So when can we expect to dee your detailed comments assessing the sonic attributes/deficiencies of each unit on your list? ;o) | |
| Rant: PSA to builders, housewives, and general complaint @larsman No worries! | |
| Rant: PSA to builders, housewives, and general complaint @charles1dad Smart! When we built our current house, I’d just barely tipped my toe into audio and regrettably, didn’t give much thought to it when we were in the design phase. I seem to have lucked out, though. Despite the fact that the living r... | |
| Audio people you've had contact with that proved to be good people. @toro3 Rob Fritz seems genuinely nice. I’d probably purchase more of his cables - even if they didn’t sound nice (they sound great btw), simply out of principle of him seeming to be a solid guy. I wholeheartedly agree on all points! | |

| Rant: PSA to builders, housewives, and general complaint @larsman unless I was hiring the contractor to be my decorator, why would I care the slightest about what the contractor thought about feng shui or anything else regarding home decoration? If he laughed at me, he'd be a contractor looking for a... | |

I prefer actual rooms -- I like being enclosed within a discreet spaces. My idea of a living room is not ... | |

| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister I never need equalization with my speakers or my other headphones too... I never remember you saying anything about using EQ in the past with your previous system but then, I'd never noticed the tone controls on the Sansui before.... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister I was surprised to learn the Sansui had such EQ controls. I figured, given what you've discovered and commented upon RE: "embedding" systems, that EQ wouldn't be something you'd utilize. I use a Schiit Lokius occasionally, usually to... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister I'm curious -- do you use the EQ controls on the Sansui? | |
| Timbernation Platform Problems I've had only one experience. The rack arrived with cosmetic damage. Whether this occurred in transit or was shipped this way, I can't say. I don't care for the sonic signature of maple -- too bright for my tastes. | |
| If the DAC is the same, how different do CD transports sound? In my room, paired with Aqua La Voce S2, Jay's CDT2MKIII transport yields far more detail and noticeably more bass than Sim Audio Moon 260DT transport. I found the degree of improvement disproportionally high, given the price difference. Whether ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks, @mahgister Am enjoying your suggestions... Some may be challenging to find on CD but I will look. @curiousjim Arturo O' Farrill +1 |
