| Cost effective power cables recommendations, low and high power Thank you all for the responses thus far. Just so I am crystal clear, I am not wanting to debate the benefit of power cables, I am asking users here what they have used that they have found cost effective and satisfying in their systems. Sure, I ... | |
| Pass Labs Class A Amplifier Meter Reading Thanks for the replies. | |
| Most underrated female recording artists.. One of my favorites is Chantel Cumberland. | |
| Which arms share the Rega Geometry? Origin Live and Audiomods arms are really amazing, they take the Rega arm and do wonders. I think it shows the goodness of the basic Rega designs. Solid stuff that works. | |
| Disservice: XLR interconnects I too have learned that even if something has balanced jacks or connectors, doesn't mean it is actually a balanced circuit. The connectors can have one of the pins dead, passing the signal on the other two pins. Learned the hard way on that a fe... | |
| Ether Regen and AfterDark Master Clock I found this thread from last year. I now have an Etherregen and would like to hear more user experiences with putting in a standalone better clock into the Etherregen clock input. The Etherregen is supposed to have a very good clock in it alread... | |
| DH Labs. This the kind of excellent small vendor that I really like, with reasonably priced products and great service. There should be more like DH Labs. | |
| USB microphone setup to measure room for PC or Chromebook (non Apple user) How does UMIK-2 do a better job than the others mentioned? If I could use a mic that has traditional XLR output (not USB), is there an adapter or something like that that would allow its output to be plugged into a computer running the measuremen... | |
| Sound quality of Roon Thank you again to all who have taken the time to post their thoughts. My thinking at present is to get an Innuos Zen Mini, which can run the core Roon program, as well as be a pretty good streamer. (Thanks to @jjss49 for that idea.). The raw comp... | |
| Best SET power amp below $5,000 Low power SET amps are among the oldest circuit designs, with little new ground broken other than new cases, perhaps better choices of parts and sometimes less ideal tubes used as more common ideal tubes have their good old stocks used up be expen... | |
| Midfi Integrated amp w/ phone stage recommendation I would suggest you check out the older British integrated amps, which of course came with decent phono stages built in. Like ones from Audiolab, Rega, Naim, Arcam, Cambridge and from the Japanese side, Rotel and Denon. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I have to agree that this lord melton guy is pretty hard to take, as much as other folks here on this topic seem quite reasonable, friendly and balanced in what they write. Guess there is always one bad apple in every barrel, quite a turn off. | |
| Sound quality of Roon Thanks for the additional comments. I am slowly feeling my way through this to figure out what is the best way to try Roon. @jjs49 your comments were really helpful to my understanding, as always. I am wondering if you wouldn't mind saying if y... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @jjss49 I am looking into a DAC upgrade and saw this thread. Your comparisons are really outstanding, even though the Weiss and Bricasti are above my pay grade so to speak but your care in how you did what you did sets a high standard for how peop... | |
| Brass versus copper binding posts Sorry I meant corrosion not rust. Poor choice of words on my part. I haven't seen speakers with silver binding posts though but maybe those are well above my pay grade so to speak. |
