| What are your thoughts on Raidho? Nice, those QLN speakers look great. And I like what you said about matching your room, your gear, and your listening habits. Those contribute so much to whether or not a speaker is a better fit for you. Probably more than just raw potential any s... | |
| Upgrade PSB Synchrony One B to Sonus Faber Grand Piano Domus? Agree with everyone above. Those Sonus Fabers are really nice for certain genres, but probably not what you listen to. I'd skip them. So many other great choices in that price range to choose from. | |
| Have you ever bought something you've never heard of? I take "gambles" all the time on stuff I've never heard. A lot of it had good reviews already (Denafrips, Sonnet, Holo Audio) but just doesn't have a local physical dealer to demo in person. All of those purchases turned out to be enjoyable. Other... | |
| Who is Liable with Defective Unit I would say the seller is liable. Even if it worked fine when packed and shipped out, it apparently did not arrive in working condition. That means something likely went wrong during the trip, which no doubt subjected the device to more physical s... | |
| A Low Cost Pleasant Sounding Used CD Player? Good choice with the Shanling ET3. That's a nice unit which should give many years of trouble free music enjoyment. I love classic disc spinners as much as the next audiophile but the reliability aspect is nowhere near that of a new device like yo... | |
| Yet another streamer options thread... I like the Eversolo A6. Some people around here seem to not care for Eversolo based on issues they have had. Some of them will likely chime in soon enough. My A6 and A8 have both been pretty much flawless so I’ve got no complaints. The A6 satisf... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found So far I've got maybe 50 hours on the Optimus 100 I2S cable (left it playing non stop since receiving it earlier in the week). Had a listen again today to see how it is shaping up, and it is sounding brilliant in my headphone rig. Seems like it co... | |
| Mid Fi streaming question. Another vote for power conditioner or similar device. Just make sure it's something substantial rather than the "fancy power strip" type which doesn't really do much. I've had good luck over the years with balanced power units such as EquiTech, ... | |
| Moon, Simaudio Service I used to own a 430HA, nice headphone amp. I always wondered if that little sliding piece could be a problem down the road. It is well built and I did like the way it covers the unused headphone jacks, but still. It's always nice to hear when a c... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found @jackd Thank you. I am tempted even though I really should just be done with it. Comparing about 10 different I2S cables (maybe more) over a few months really isn't my idea of fun. Still tempted though so what does that say about me? | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found @jackd Thanks, now I am tempted to try a Ricable I2S as well. We'll see. Which one do you use specifically? Your setup sounds like mine though, Veritas stuff taking over everywhere. I still need to get the speaker cables at some point. @audiosti... | |
| I2S Recommendation I also got the Veritas Cables I2S today, so far it seems excellent. I'll update more once I've done comparisons to my other favorites which right now are the DH Labs and the Voodoo cable. But I can already tell I like the Veritas Optimus 100 more ... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found I got my Optimus 100 I2S today and spent some time with it. Initial impressions are extremely positive but I'll need a lot more listening time to form a complete opinion. So far it is in the running for 1st place compared to over a half dozen othe... | |
| help needed for new headphone system You really do want to try to audition gear in your own home if at all possible. I'm with you in that I don't get much out of listening at audio shows. Too much background noise and too many people around. Find a dealer with a good return policy if... | |
| I2S Recommendation I just ordered the new Optimus 100 I2S model from Veritas Cables. It is priced just a little higher than the DH Labs and Voodoo models that I enjoy, still way lower than the Audioquest and Wireworld options I have here. I'll update here once I fig... |
