| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Mattnshilp, I admire your effort, but so much is very fragile with everything these days. Or you comparing the units all in exactly the sale location, with the same wiring and ac plugs, and on the same isolation. I have found the location of feet ... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Audiolabyrinth, yes but so often I've heard major improvement in just the playback equipment of the same recording. I now have original double DSD recordings played that way as well as 44.1/16 played double DSD. The former is much better but the l... | |
| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? In my personal experience, the Koda takumi K 10 is the best I've experienced. You might want to check out Audioexotics.hk/ for multiple raves. Everything they say is right on. The only American line stage that approaches it is the Exemplar XP-2. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Audiolabyrinth, maybe you are right, saying "crazy like a fox." But it is going to be very few that will take our advice. I'm in wonder that I ever got to this point. In part, I think it is good fortune and in part, I think it is just getting old ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Audioengr, I have used it with your former colleague's Legacy Music Server and with several top rated dacs, whose names I will not give as have three other respected dealers and manufacturers. We all have concluded that the PureDac is exceptional.... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Mattnshilp, I've mentioned the BMC PureDac earlier. You should add it to your list. It is very cheap at $1790 retail. I know of a man who bought one for use in his bedroom system and now uses it in his main system in place of the expensive dCS mul... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Calvinj, I can sense your enthusiasm which I think is the best measure of a review. You, like me, are in the strange place of loving a power cord that costs exceeds the component on which it is used and further remarking that we don't want to do w... | |
| A New Superstar Power Cord Mcondon, you said,"how system dependent power cords and all cables really are." I think it works both ways. I am amazed at how much inexpensive components are on the cables that you use. Presently I'm using nearly $20k worth of cables including po... | |
| Best Placement - CT-1E All that I can say is that the further you go up the HFC lines, the longer it takes for everything to settle down after any motion in the cables. The HFC Ultimate References are a nightmare for reviewers, usually an A/B comparison has to be long t... | |
| A Must Hear under $5,000 The LSA1 speakers that are now only $600/pair are unbeatable for that internet direct price. I think the BMC PureVox at $6490 are clearly better, but for the price of the LSA1, nothing else is even close. | |
| Stillpoints under a turntable? I have used first SP Ultra SSs under both a Bergman Sindre and a Nantais Lenco Reference. Later I used SP Ultra Fives under both. The Ultra Fives were far superior and as always four feet, whether SSs or Fives, are clearly much better than three.I... | |
| Biggest Baddest Audio Cables Dadbehsh, they have been well reviewed here, but I don't know if they are sold here. I would try AudioMart Canada and perhaps some in Europe. It is expensive to sell here. | |
| Reviews of $10k plus ics, speaker wires, and pcs Czarivey, you need an education into reality, but if you are happy just stay that way. Please, however, don't post on threads that you have no knowledge to bring to bare. | |
| Reviews of $10k plus ics, speaker wires, and pcs Czarivey, hmm, let us try that: parts $800 and labor $1200. $2000 x 5 + $10,000. The AudioQuests are too cheap. | |
| How long before your cartridge warms up? Mapman, I do think this phenomenon does happen. And as always I agree with you when you say there is no reason to have discussions of personal experiences as our tastes vary greatly. |
