| Blue Jeans Cable Iconoclast Sorry! The Design Theory link. | |
| Blue Jeans Cable Iconoclast On the site, click on the Blogs and Links. There’s a nice bunch of stuff there. | |
| Blue Jeans Cable Iconoclast This may help. Go here https://www.iconoclastcable.com/index.htm Read the design theory and technical papers. Provides an interesting insight into the whys and wherefores. | |
| New speakers unveiled from Clayton Shaw - Caladan I wish Clayton luck, but just an observation - I’d have thought Spatial would have insisted on a non-compete clause or agreement on his departure. In other businesses I’ve been involved with I’ve seen as short as six months, but as long as two yea... | |
| SF Serafino G2 vs Von Schweikert Endeavor RE I’ll try to swing this back OT. I own the Endeavor SE (not RE). I’ve heard the RE three times at shows, in systems familiar to me, and it sounds essentially similar to the SE. I’ve heard many Sf speakers over the years (although in different syste... | |
| Any experience with Magna Mano Ultra MkIII streamer The Kitsune Holo Red has I2S and is quite good. Given its price I’m quite happy with it. | |
| direct stream 2-Stereophile review Admittedly, the MkI and MkII do let through ultrasonic noise, which can be problematic for some gear. I thought this was true of all DSD DACs that don’t band limit their output (but I could be wrong). In my case my Pass gear is completely unaffect... | |
| direct stream 2-Stereophile review Another MkII owner. IMO JA’s review has no reflection to the reality of how good this DAC is (other than his admission he continually exceeded his allotted timeframe listening to it, which is a curious juxtaposition). I’ve been a PSA DAC user sinc... | |
| Where to go from XP-15? XP-17? XP-25? My Ref 1 and these Koetsus are all spec'ed at a .4mV output, so I am guessing the XP-17, and most quality phono stages would handle these (noise wise)? Yes. You shouldn’t have any problems with the XP-17 at an output voltage like that. | |
| AXPONA — PS Audio I heard them both at AXPONA. Stopped by all three days. As should be no surprise they both sounded their best on Sunday. Since PS Audio had a fixed playlist for most of the time each day, I got to hear a number of the same tunes on both speakers. ... | |
| Where to go from XP-15? XP-17? XP-25? I realize this thread is a few years old but I would love to hear a follow up on your XP-17, assuming you did end up getting one from Reno? @hpower, yes I did get it from Reno. All I can tell you is that I’m very happy with it. Sounds great, ha... | |
| Any racks that use coasters/ wheels ? Adona racks can be had with threaded inserts suitable for heavy duty casters, the likes of which are available from McMaster Carr and other similar places. | |
| Shunyata PC Shootout @spearl8, how so? | |
| Thoughts on Shunyata and Transparent? @nyev , did you get the AQ Dragon yet, and if so any thoughts on comparison to the others? | |
| Anyone know the weight limit for a 4x4 Kallax with undeframe? Ugh! Confusing yes! It had never occurred to me that IKEA would have different versions of the EKET cubes be different sizes! 😑 They’re dumb cubes! 😀 In any event, it seems the leg mount EKETs are limited to two rows. My space limitations and numb... |
