| "World's Best Cables" vs Audioquest interconnects Cable burn in and electronics burn in is very real if one has decent audio system and actually spends time listening for nuances. it can take several days worth of playing music to achieve the first level of noticeable break in. Things will conti... | |
| everything sounded great until the upgrade You don’t give much info. new electronics can take several weeks worth of continuous music playing to break in. Until break in completes sound can be thin compressed and lacking in warmth and bass. if you have passed the point of break it ... | |
| Denefrips Pontus "burn in" period? The project dac s2 plus is a really good dac at its price. I own it and added the ifi elite power supply and that was a further huge improvement and lowered the noise floor and removed glare (edgy sound) and added clarity. I recently compared ... | |
| Which Tweeter preferred- dome natural material, Beryllium/Metal or Planar Ribbon? Why? Back to tweeters…. Best I’ve heard so far are the ribbons on the Quad z-2. As described in Stereophile … as it goes in the wrriteup goes for the smaller lower quad speakers Have heard the quad S-2 that have a smaller version … “were incandes... | |
| Better Sounding Systems, Objectivists or Subjectivists? The “objectivists” use is a misnomer here. It suggests these “folks” have “all the facts”. They don’t. There are countless “measurements” missing that we don’t even know about. The joke forums like ASR are full of morons. I have challenged the few... | |
| Analogue from Digital I also see no point now in buying any new vinyl. It’s almost all digitized now and notice the vagueness where most new pressings now never say it’s all analogue. This is because I have found out that the cutting lathes are driven digitally. So eve... | |

| "Power Cords-More Recent" ”We could look at it scientifically. All the power cable needs to do is supply a constant voltage at a single frequency.”this is the engineering view to assume that this is all that is involved (per the memorized formulas). The scientific view wou... | |
| why do so many discussions turn contentious? Most contentious posts involve people with no knowledge or experience posting what they think they know. Best joke these days is who thought access to all the world’s knowledge on the internet would make people stupider. Legit posters here own hig... | |
| Need help buying new speaker cable I would recommend spade connectors over banana plugs if your amp and speakers can handle spades. Most banana plugs allow for spin which means there is not a solid connection. But you mention you aren’t able to hear differences in cables so I wonde... | |
| How are most audiophiles going from streamers to DACS Hmmm…. So many variations of advice. My streamer is a MacBook Pro that supports usb and optical. I tried many usb cables and while they all had a differing sound / noise signature all had a glare that induced listener fatigue. I tried the ifi devi... | |
| What DAC upgrade made you say “DAMN, that sounds SO MUCH better than my last DAC”? While staying with the same dac (project dac box s2+) I did upgrades,,,My “DAMN, that sounds SO MUCH better...” upgrades are:1) Change to the new ifi Elite power supply2) Change of optical cable to the Supernova 7 Mini Toslink OpticalI was stunned... | |
| Looking to improve my system I see you have quite a few responses...The couple of folks who tell you to ignore the first responder who recommended power cables, getting the cables off the floor, etc are wrong and appear to be mid-fi hobbyists if they haven’t experimented with... |
