| Shakti Stone These work but you need a mid level or better high end audio system to hear the effects of what the metal does for electrical/magnetic fields. I have one under my pass amp where the toroidal transformer is. The amp is on a raised stand. Movin... | |
| "audiophiles listen to their equipment" I do know “audiophiles” who only listen to a same small set of tracks. I am always looking for new music. Returning to familiar/favorite music when new gear pops in. Always great when new gear brings out new details in favorite music. | |
| 2 Channel system sounds weak and lackluster Untreated room!?!?! 🤣 As a test hang some blankets on all the walls, including and especially behind the speakers and listen again. You’re welcome! | |
| Does loudness play a part in your appreciation? For me loud enough is just below the level wherethe audio system exhibits strain and distortion. Don’t like distortion or strain. | |
| Is there any such thing as a bad sounding DAC these days? Mostly agree with you and I am an analogue diehard. DACs released after about 2015 sound quite good with modern digital recordings. What still does not sound good even on modern DACs are early ADC conversion of analogue tape to digital. My... | |
| Im going to regret my cable question I would suggest you contact the folks at thecableco.com and they will let you borrow multiple cables to try out for a small fee that can be applied to a purchase. very worth it to try different cables to hear which sound best in your audio sys... | |
| Why do tube amps often subjectively sound more powerful than SS ? tube amps typically have much higher current which is more important than watts in several ways (but marketing won't tell you this). | |
| AC Power If you want to get some of the effect of a good power conditioner at a cheap price than look for an original used monster cable hts-2000 power filter strip. released around 2010 it works quite well and very noticeable positive effect on SQ. can b... | |
| The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype This dude ignores that there is an analogue amp in every DAC. he can’t hear or has not bothered to on any worthwhile audio gear. dumb begets dumb. | |
| What's the weakest link in my stereo set up? I live in a townhome, so limited on space. @vrikkian thats why I suggested borrowing cables from thecableco.com. you should find out for yourself what is true or not. a poster after me suggest DHLabs cables. They are also good but a different sound signature than Kimber Kable. ask t... | |
| What's the weakest link in my stereo set up? I live in a townhome, so limited on space. Ignore the dullards who tell you cables don’t matter because of science. They know nothing about science and are too dumb to try something. I note below where you can borrow cables to try out. Your equipment would benefit from good cables. You... | |
| Power for two subs. If you want to do it inexpensive with positive results for filtering look for a used monster cable hts2000 power strip/conditioner. I run my pass amp and two REL subs off of that. the monster cable first gen of power conditioners are good and can... | |
| HAVE CABLES EVER TAKEN YOUR SYSTEM FROM SOUNDING JUST OK TO SOUNDING GREAT? Experiences ? A step up in sound quality each time I pull out the credit card to buy a new cable. BUT! …. I don’t buy new cables unless I’ve heard them in my system, and they had time to break in, and I clearly hear a difference going back and forth with my cu... | |
| Linear Power Supply Recommendations! You have asked for LPS…. but if you are looking for a clean power supply take a look at ifi products. the ifi elite power supply is quite quiet. | |
| Which sounds better 2 way or 3 way speaker design After much experience with many speakers (mine, audiophile friends, and at our local high end store) my conclusion is that under around the $10k price point a 2 way with a powered subwoofer (2.2 setup) is the best sound. under around $10k pric... |
