| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic The oft mentioned solution to aggressive trolls is to ignore them, and they'll go away. The problem is, they don't. Moderators do what they can, with limited time and resources, but I think it’s up to us, the majority who can carry on a civil and ... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic You read the posts by the “usual suspect” trolls, with long histories of derailing threads, and you’re upset with him? It's about time someone called them out for what they are.There are members here, almarg being a prime example, who can post wit... | |
| Least expensive discrete resistor ladder NOS DAC? wharfy,old as as in a chip that’s not being made anymore. Way back at the beginning of CD, before oversampling was a thing, I had a Meridian MCD. It was the first “audiophile” CD player, and used a Phillips DAC chip that, I believe, was only 14 bi... | |
| Least expensive discrete resistor ladder NOS DAC? I currently have an old Audio Note DAC Kit 1.1 that is NOS, and uses the AD1865 chip, with a tube output stage. I'm very happy with the sound I’m getting from it. Audio Note is working on their own discrete resistor DAC, which, hopefully, will be ... | |

| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic I have found that, as I progress in making improvements to the sound of my system, it becomes more and more about dealing with problems that I didn’t have (or rather, didn’t realize I had until they were fixed).Another way of saying it is: You'll ... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic Because they have the sense to know that someone who hasn’t tried it saying it doesn’t work tells them absolutely nothing about whether it actually works, or not.Saying that you think it is unlikely to work, and therefore don’t feel the need to tr... | |
| GutWire Ultimate Grounding Cable You know the audiophile cliche about hearing things you never heard before in familiar recordings? Well... | |
| Burlington, VT - Any interest in starting a club? I know this is an old thread, but I am in Burlington, and am interested in an audio club. If any of you are still on audiogon, and are interested, please respond. | |
| GutWire Ultimate Grounding Cable Apparently it needed a little more break in. The sound opened up further today, and I am one happy camper 😁The Ultimate has taken my system, which I was already very happy with, to the next level. If you haven't already implemented a grounding sol... | |
| RCA Shorting Plugs I used RCA caps previously. While they did make a difference, there was definitely a noticeable improvement going from caps to actual shorting plugs, like these:https://www.hificollective.co.uk/accessories/rca-shorting-plugs.htmlAdding a GutWire U... | |
