| HC Power cords for tight spaces -- unicorn hunting? @linndo FYI, VooDoo makes various types of right angle adjustable adapters that can be configured at whatever angle you need, whether at the iec or outlet or both. Check their website or The Cable Co. | |
| Anyone upgrade from Jays CDT2MK3 to CDT3MK3? @baclagg My interactions with Alvin left me with the impression that he is dedicated to providing a high level of customer service. I’d be shocked if he didn’t take care of you. Please let us know how things unfold. | |
| Anyone upgrade from Jays CDT2MK3 to CDT3MK3? @baclagg You might reach out to Todd at TEK audio -- they are the US repair facility for Jay’s and he’s a good guy. He might have a suggestion or two. https://www.tekaudiospecialties.com/contact-us I have the CDT2MKIII and have never had issu... | |
| DAC 'Scam' Vid @yyzsantabarbara I went from a $15K DAC to a $2800 DAC and that was a huge conic improvement. I am trying to buy the same $2800 DAC for another system. The maxim: "Spending more will not guarantee satisfaction" is true. I just discovered its ... | |
| Keep Acoustic Zen or move on? @dokosan The reality is, only you can determine what sounds best to you, in your system, in your room. FWIW, The Cable Company Carries Audience and Snake River. I don’t see info on returns from Jena but Iconoclast and Silversmith both offer re... | |
| For Those Who Are Unaware of The Cable Company @goldfishx I’m not knowlegeable enough myself to assert what "the rule" is. I’ve had silver cables that did lean toward the bright side, silver cables that were neutral and one that was on the warm side. None were power cords, however. Generall... | |
| For Those Who Are Unaware of The Cable Company @goldfishx No idea how much time and money I’d have wasted if I did this blind Yes; this is the whole point! BTW, it would be a mistake to assume all silver cabling is bright. This simply isn't true. | |
| DAC 'Scam' Vid @smodtactical Why not use your ears and decide for yourself? | |
| Is this a meaningful upgrade? The Music Room often has used yggies. Buy one, listen for yourself and return it if it doesn't please you. Note that you will have to pay shipping and a restock fee. Perhaps you could borrow one? | |
| What Meatloaf and Beer Have Taught me about Audiophiles @ghdprentice Ultimately that experience and some others drove me to find a ruler to measure sonic characteristics. Ultimately, I realized it was real acoustic music. Thanks, George, I’ll keep this in mind... | |

| What Meatloaf and Beer Have Taught me about Audiophiles @ghdprentice As a listener, when I think of all the live music I've heard, there's such an enormous degree of variation that I have great difficulty imagining how all of that could possibly be encompassed accurately by one system. But then, I do... | |
| Discovering New and Similar Music. Cool -- this will be fun to explore! | |
| Anyone Else Tried Darwin Cables? @nonoise I couldn’t remember who it was so I’m glad you posted, here. As products go, this is one of the best recommendations I’ve gotten on the forum, so, thank you, sir! | |
| Get it while you can! @bdp24 Two of the 10 LPs contain the original album, but remixed and mastered with Daniel Lanois’ dreadful production mess removed, a production Dylan has long expressed his displeasure with. Since Time Out Of Mind, Dylan has himself (under the... |
