| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Intellectually I realize that ... I'll just need to succumb to the inevitable and let this process do its thing. ... Accept ... apparently, I'm just along for the ride.To say this, to accept, in the face of ordinary obstacles is difficult; to live... | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Patrick, thanks for another wonderful post. I'll be watching for news. I wish you all the very best... more than I can say, since this is your thread and I'm shy. I love biplanes myself, and now one day I'll take a ride in one thanks to you. | |
| PC recommendations for Shanling T-100 CDP Yes, Joeylawn36111, that power cord you describe sounds like the stock one. It is certainly better, lots better, than the three-dollar computer-grade molded cord you get "free" with most equipment. However you can do better still, if the rest of y... | |
| PC recommendations for Shanling T-100 CDP Let us know how things go...I've been wondering why you noticed no difference with a Tsunami, which is not supposed to be a bad cord.I thought of the usual question about downstream resolving power, but then I reread your first post and noticed (d... | |
| Is there any way to get into tubes for super cheap I concur re Cayin, in fact for new gear I would suggest checking out Chinese tube gear generally. The value for dollar is high. HIT Audio, Shanling, Antique Sound Labs are more names that come to mind. | |
| PC recommendations for Shanling T-100 CDP I used an Ensemble Powerflux FSF, which might just come in under your limit, if you can find one. It made a big difference in my system at the time. Here are my notes :-better detail across the spectrum-bottom end detail, definition, body and cont... | |
| What is the best DAC to buy used in the $500 range Italian has good advice if I may say so--the question, "What's the best unit for X dollars?" has so many answers that it is really not too helpful. The data you can gather by listening is the most reliable, but if reading is all you can do, it's a... | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Very sorry to have condescended to the late Mr. Webb Ellis. His spontaneous gesture created the game, of course. Whether it was against the rules or not is somewhat moot, since if I understand the game's history correctly, there were even fewer ru... | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Pat, I had no idea I was hobnobbin' with a Springbok... lemme buy you a cold one. I went to the school where the game was invented. A plaque on one of the old brick walls is dedicated to the thick-headed schoolboy footballer "who first picked up t... | |
| Help me pick a digital cable Chadnliz, that's funny! Your wife sounds great--it takes a big person to admit that audiophile fussbudgetry brings results. I got lucky myself--I knew it the evening my s.o. told dinner guests that every time I changed something the music sounded ... | |
| Help me pick a digital cable In the case of my cable test, the difference was so obvious that there was no hesitation whatsoever in saying which one was better and why. There were absolutely no disadvantages in using a 1.5 meter cable, only advantages.I went to some expense a... | |
| Help me pick a digital cable Goodness, Jeff_jones, I'm shocked. Are you saying my test wasn't honest? ;o) Why, I'm the soul of accuracy in all things.Actually, kidding aside, I would welcome the description of anyone else's minutely rigorous blind A-B test. The results in the... | |
| Help me pick a digital cable Jeff_jones, I have performed the test you ask about. I used Apogee Wyde Eye in 1-meter and 1.5-meter lengths. I made the cables up using Canare RCA connectors and 2% silver solder. A pal and I did listening tests using his Theta transport and Kora... | |
| Help me pick a digital cable Apogee Wyde Eye is the best low-price cable I know. I had one for a long time. I've just moved up to the Ven Haus cryo'd Pulsar and it is terrrrrrific. Smoooth, with detail detail detail, no edge. It takes a long time to break in but the upside, a... | |
| Best Used Bang for Buck if I Finally SWITCH ? I've bought Mac gear at www.ehmac.ca, but these guys all seem to be Canadians, eh. The gear worked fine, though :o).http://www.ehmac.caAs you know, in any used market, it is a Real Good Idea to know your stuff before you plunk your money down. You... |
