| Where to purchase cables? I agree with @lak who posted above about Veritas Cables. I started with one set of their Magnus XLR cables and love it so much that I just ordered a set of their higher end Argentum R silver RCA cables. I'm also considering power cables and maybe ... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found I just placed an order for a set of Argentum R unbalanced interconnects, which are finally available. I was informed that they’ll ship out tomorrow. At $450, they look fantastic and feel like a great deal, but we’ll see how they perform. I’ve been... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found @lak Definitely understand, it is confusing. I've already suggested/complained to Veritas via email that they need to get their website figured out. Then again if they are focused on building our orders I'm not sure I want them diverting attention... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found Thank you, a comparison with Lavricables would be very welcome. I used one of their cables for my Audeze headphones for a while, it was great. Later upgraded to a nicer Norne Audio cable but would still recommend Lavricables for headphones. I did... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found @lak thank you for that update! Sounds like they aren't just blowing smoke about targeting more expensive cables as competition. I can see how an internet direct brand with low overhead could really maximize value compared to the big guys who have... | |
| Raal Immanis top of the line headphones I agree we are all a little nuts in a way. We could all just buy a bluetooth speaker and stream spotify and still connect with the music on some level. Good music is good music. Even if you listen out of a tin can with a string connected, you can ... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found I had messaged Veritas last week asking to be put on a list for when their new stuff is ready. Just heard back saying within two weeks all the custom length orders should be good to go. Also the new speaker cables that don't have a name yet, and a... | |
| Low gain dac! Sounds like a nice setup you have there. The Audial shows 2.1V output so very slightly higher than your Schiit. Probably won't make a difference though. Should sound great with that TDA1541 sound! | |
| Music server recommendations needed. I have to echo what others have said about trying out the streaming services. I ripped a few hundred discs at one point and it really gets old even when the device has a pretty easy ripping feature. Decided to keep my CD stash and try streaming lo... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found @lak That's basically what they told me too. I plan on picking up the Argentum X later this year, but now thinking I might also get some of the Fidelis RCA cables for a tube system I run in another room that doesn't have any balanced connectors. W... | |
| CD Player: Vintage or modern ones? Some capacitors start degrading from the moment they roll off the assembly line. They have a built in lifespan, which might be a decade or two, but eventually they will all fail. So even if a CD player has never been used it could still be at end ... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found I'm really happy with my Magnus XLR interconnect. It might be tied with the Eversolo DMP-A8 as the best value piece of audio equipment I bought this year. And that's saying something since I really tried a lot. That Argentum X looks really inter... | |
| Raal Immanis top of the line headphones Good stuff thank you for posting! | |
| SACD Players I think if you are happy with your current MA5300 then it seems like auditioning the MCT500 makes the most sense. You didn't mention if you wanted new or used but there's a good chance a McIntosh dealer in your area can probably help get you set u... | |
| UPGRADE PATH FROM CHORD QUTEST DAC If you like your Qutest but just want "more" of that same sound it would make sense to stay in the Chord family and at least audition the TT2. Should be easy to find at a dealer. List price is a few hundred dollars over your $5,000 limit but I’m p... |
