| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found @nwres I see, that is a smart setup you have there. I’ve always wondered how much if any improvement my system might have with some of those audiophile oriented network components. Right now I just go straight from the wall to my Innuos Zenith mk... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Damien Rice - 9 | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found @lak Thank you, nice to have someone tell me I am not impulsive with audio gear because it sure feels that way sometimes. Even this morning I came far too close to buying a vintage Nakamichi amplifier that I've always been curious about. I have ab... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report The Bad Plus - These Are the Vistas (really complex jazz, challenging but fun) | |
| what dacs are fast, lively, energetic? When I think about a lively/fast/energetic DAC, my brain first thinks of Chord. I don't necessarily love them in my system but I respect what they do. The TT2 can be had within your budget and it is popular for a reason. Also look into Rockna. Th... | |
| What are the best speakers you have ever owned and why? My current Tannoy Turnberry GR speakers are the best I've ever owned. They would not have worked well in many of the places I've lived over the years though. Getting the right match for your particular room really is a huge part of the process. I... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found I started with the Connexa network cable and was satisfied enough to also order the Praesto AC cable. I love that too, about to pick up a couple more so my system runs exclusively Veritas power cables. Tempted to try out their interconnects. But... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found @nwres Thanks, I am planning on getting the Aperta at some point when funds allow. I have used my quota for the year but next year starts soon enough. It's nice to hear that you find them impressive, that seems to be the common thing I hear from a... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found @samureyex How is it going now that you probably have more hours on the cables? I had fun reading your updates for the initial hours, seems maybe things have tapered off or finished burning for the most part? @nwres I may have missed it but what ... | |
| Final Touch Sinope USB? Agreed with the above, I've loved every Audience cable I've ever tried. Haven't heard the Reserve USB yet but you really can't go wrong with Audience as a general rule. | |
| Final Touch Sinope USB? I have a friend who recommends the Final Touch cables, he has several of them including the Callisto USB and ranks them highly. I had been considering trying them out but then got side tracked with Veritas Cables instead. They sound great in my sy... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found @westcoastaudiophile So many of your post history is just you bickering with people about cables. Doesn't that get old? Please recognize that we are already the weird ones in this hobby. Most other people think we are all crazy for spending more t... | |
| Gustard A26 @audphile1 Haha I agree, total glutton for punishment I guess. In my defense this was over the course of maybe 5 years, so trying one every 12-18 months is not so bad. Also in context I tried quite a few other DACs during that time frame, ranging ... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Third Round by Manu Katche followed by Build Me Up From Bones by Sarah Jarosz | |
| Tidal and Qobuz playback I use both and rarely have problems at home. On the go is another matter. Tidal app on both iPhone and Pixel devices is rock solid. Qobuz on the other hand, all sorts of issues. I quit using it for over a year, came back recently to see if it was ... |
