| Why Do Cables Matter? How about I hear a change in sound when I change banana plugs or replace a fuse. And I have an Atoll In200, Aquarius DAC, and 'heavely' modified Infinity Beta 50 speakers 😁 | |
| Best Class D GaNFET Amp Comparison. Who to invite? @yyzsantabarbara Thank you for the update. This is big Knowing that you are very demanding with regard to sound quality. How would you describe the change in the GAN1 sound before/after modding? | |
| Best Class D GaNFET Amp Comparison. Who to invite? @yyzsantabarbara Is the GAN1 better than the Benchmark amp/Pre? Better than the Coda16? How can it sound better than a system with an expensive DAC? Thanks | |
| Best Class D GaNFET Amp Comparison. Who to invite? The other reason is that the unit sounds so good that I have sold a lot of gear that was now replaced by the GAN1. I do not have a backup if the GAN1 is gone for this event. The suits ought to learn a thing or two from Ric, but they won’t bothe... | |
| Best Class D GaNFET Amp Comparison. Who to invite? A class D amp shootout is a great idea. The winner should then go against a reference amp (A/AB) in the same price segment. This will attract attention from manufacturers. If you include a Peachtree in the competition, then maybe avoid it’s pre... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta @ricevs .. all the flak you keep getting on this thread and another for pointing out the obvious :). Thanks for all your advice and recommendations. You remind me of "the" dude who 2000 years ago tried to enlighten people to the path. I enjoy fo... | |
| "Audiophile" Power Cables: The Greatest Audio Conspiracy Theory of All Time? Comments in this thread denying the influence of cables are like vegetarians in a steak house complaining about the menu. | |
| "Audiophile" Power Cables: The Greatest Audio Conspiracy Theory of All Time? I experimented with the following cables to supply my power conditioner and I didn’t like any of them when used alone: 1- Mundorf Angelique 2- A short length from a Mundorf foil coil OFC Copper 3- NEOTECH CU-AG-20-20 Wiring Cable OCC Copper / OCC... | |
| Fantasy or reality? Inexpensive solid state preamps that get you 80% there? @hilde45 May I ask why you want a preamplifier? Is it to enhance (or color) sound or is it just as transparent interface with a volume knob? If it's the latter then go with @yyzsantabarbara recomendation of the Benchmark LA4. | |
| Solid core OFC vs stranded OCC copper @wolf_garcia Which cable (you own) of the ones you mentioned is the best performer sound wise? Thanks | |
| Cheapest but good cables…. Hi @celtic66 Duelund DCA 12 is excellent. Run that currently with ATC 20 passives. But not as cheap as Mogami at $17/m from Parts Connexion. It comes as a single wire, so pricing is a bit deceiving as you need calculate 2Xs for one speaker. 2m ... | |
| Solid core OFC vs stranded OCC copper I think the issue is a bit more complicated than just a generic difference between litz vs solid cables. I tried the Neotech OCC solid cables both copper and copper with silver and they sound terrible. People praize the Audio Quest Thunderbird an... | |
| Solid core OFC vs stranded OCC copper @pharaoh What is the name of the cables you're using please? | |
| Anyone tried fiber into EtherRegen SFP? @lollipopguild I use FMC (ethernet-fiber-ethernet) from ER port B to the streamer and it improves sound. I tried using the ER SFP input, but it degraded sound in comparison to ER ethernet input in port A. Here is an issue that puzzled ... | |
| Recommendations for good sounding streamer The Chromecast Audio 30-40$ Bluesound Node 500$ Zen Stream 400$ These are just basic streamers, some are better than the other. Buy used. Which one to choose depends on what demands you have from the system and what upgrade plans you have for... |
