| Adding a SACD player There is, and it has been written about extensively. Less processing, one filter, fewer parts and a simpler more analog waveform. One bit processing is very pure and simple to implement. Almost all new DAC's are including DSD and or DSD over PCM (... | |
| What do you void listening? ^ BAMMMM!!!! Lightening Bolt... I smell something burning:>) | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream Grandiose claims made by manufacturers are nothing new. It is called "marketing". Terms, jargon, made up names and theories abound. They do not need to be proven and 99% cannot be measured anyway, it is mostly a subjective hobby. The main thing is... | |
| Do powercords make a difference? A Test. I think you should patent the idea and sell it as an audiophile tweak for several hundred dollars. Come up with a catchy name and you may well be able to make enough to retire early. | |
| New Pass Labs 250.8 - Jan 2014 What kind of trade-in value did you get for the .5? I hope you didn't pay full pop. | |
| KEF LS50 IMO, I think that the NAD is underpowered for use with the KEFs. If you listen to dynamic music at loud levels. I would not want to push those speakers to 85+ db as you may start to hear compression and distortion at the higher levels. If that hap... | |
| KEF LS50 I have owned the LS50's since Feb 2013 in a second system. I have used: a Naim Nait 5i-2 (60wpc) but really seems like much more. Edge i3 (100wpc into 8 ohm, 200wpc/4 ohm)Simaudio i3.3DPX (100Wpc into an 8 ohm load and 200W into 4 ohms)I have sett... | |
| 12 gauge zip vs Cat7 DIY speaker cable - oh my what length are you using for your main L/R? | |
| most clear, crisp sound power amps, monoblocks ? This is your first post and this is what you come up with.a very vague question that encompasses thousands of possible answers. Not to mention you left out about a dozen important qualifiers that anyone with any knowledge of audio would need to ma... | |

One was shipped from Montreal the other Alberta. Both came via FEDEX no extra fees or duty. Just like buy... | |
| Hidiamond vs Hifidelity interconnects "under your furniture"... that is definitely not part of the audiophile approved set-up procedure!They really should be supported above the floor and away from base boards and power cables. | |
| Tube Integrated Amp for Dynaudio Focus 140 I had excellent results using a Unison Research Unico SE hybrid tube integrated amp. 140 wpc/8 ohm and 240 wpc/4 ohm.I was driving the Dynaudio Contour S1.4 and then the Volent Chorale CL-2. Both speakers were 86db 4 ohm. No regrets! | |
| 24/192dac Amen! I refuse to buy any download that the provider cannot prove was actually mastered at least at 24 bit/96kHz. (known as provenance) This BS of remastering from tapes that are 30 years old from an analogue tape master that only achieved 14 bit... | |
| What do you void listening? WOW!!! I really like all those bands and singers. I can usually find something redeeming in anyone gifted enough to put their music and talent on display for others.I may not "get" their message or like their tone, but I am not about to make a neg... | |
