| LAIV Harmony @audiostick Obviously the Major US Audio Manufacturer is complacent and doesn’t really care about your business. Good riddance. Laiv is new and hungry for business so I say let them earn it, we’ll soon find out if this is a new Denafrips/Holo Aud... | |
| Morrow Audio Speaker Cables @mitch2 Agree, the DH Labs connectors are probably at the limit for me in terms of price/performance ratio. Anything "better" will cost far more than it is worth as far as actual contributions to the sound. Sure do love me some Furutech bling bu... | |
| Musical fidelity encore “frustrated owners” Honestly I'm not sure how many people are using Musical Fidelity gear these days. Particularly anything other than their amplifiers, which seem more popular and generally better than the rest of their line. I used to own of a few of their pieces ... | |
| Should I cash in? There are tons of really nice DACs in the $3k to $6k range, I'd demo as many as I could get my hands on and go from there. One needn't spend $20k to get excellent sound. | |
| How Could I Get A Mivera Audio Purestream and Superstream Serviced If Needed? I doubt Mike is interested in supporting Mivera owners at this point. Would love to be proven wrong, but his internet history is a mess: banned or disappeared from quite a few forums after various arguments etc. Seems like a talented designer but... | |
| EverSolo Streamer It sounds like you've got it set up correctly, and just can't hear a difference. Which is totally fine if you are happy with the sound. I would try to break out the Sonos and Cambridge stuff, see if you hear a difference there. It might be that ... | |
| Denafrips Pontus *15th* ? I have an "original" Pontus II (so no 12th or other numbers involved) and I very much enjoy it. Purchased it new a few years back and always felt it was a really good deal for the money. But I don't think I will be purchase anything else from Den... | |
| Small Green Computer - Sonic Transporter i9 (Gen 4) mini review Nice writeup, thank you. I've been curious about SGC and this is a great data point. | |
| LCD-2 from 2011 Older Audeze are notorious for having variations from one example to the next. That went on for many years until the more recent models, and I think they have it worked out by this point. But anything over a couple years old is likely to be pretty... | |
| RAAL 1995 headphones, Magna and Immanis I've been using the SR-1b for a while and now have the CA-1a. They are my favorite headphones by far. I do enjoy others from Audeze and Meze and Sennheiser but somehow the Raal models feel more like the real music experience to me. I don't want ... | |
| Benchmark DAC2 HGC vs DAC3 HGC or?? I hear the Benchmark DAC3 the same way, nicely detailed but a little sizzle up top depending on your associated gear. It can be a lot of fun or it can be too much, depends on the system. | |
| Who uses power conditioning? Always had good results with using balanced power products compared to other types of power conditioners. Have used BPT, Blue Circle, Bryston (rebadged Torus), Equitech, and now Plixir, and they have all gave bigger improvements than other brands ... | |
| Morrow Audio Speaker Cables They almost always have a big sale, either current or right around the corner. It's the sort of brand I would never buy at full price. I can't say I love that approach but it's not like they are trying to scam anyone either. That said, they ma... | |
| Anyone own DH LAB Red Wave Signature PC's? Friend swears by them and uses a half dozen to power his entire system. I have not heard them in my setup but it seems like a great option based on his system. Prior to that he was using some rather expensive AQ model with the little inline batt... | |
| Morrow Audio Speaker Cables They do make quality cables, in my opinion the SP4 (and MA4 interconnects as well) is probably the sweet spot in terms of value per dollar. The lower models are fine but don't really stand out as much to me. And the higher models are great, but th... |
