Veritas Cables a new brand that I found
@mbolek Any thoughts yet on the Argentum X compared to the Magnus? I'm very happy with my Magnus, maybe since I have no experience building my own cables. Compared to a half dozen other XLR sets from bigger brands though, it is wonderful. I do hav... 
RCA Interconnect recommendations
I've been really impressed with the Veritas Cables Argentum R interconnects I got a few months back. It's a small new brand that sells direct on US Audio Mart. Not the cheapest cable I own, not the most expensive either, but possibly the best valu... 
Received my Denafrips Venus 15th
Maybe off topic but has anyone gone from any edition of a Pontus to any of the Venus models? Out of the whole line, those two seems so close that I'm not sure what the extra expenditure get us. I have experience with both of them but never at the ... 
Veritas Cables a new brand that I found
@maxima95 Absolutely. Even though they are the lower model of the two options I remain highly impressed by them. I can't imagine anyone being unsatisfied with the performance they bring for the price. And that's coming from someone who has tried a... 
New Eversolo DMP-A10
Same, I'm happy with both the A6 and the A8 in the places I use them, and plan on grabbing an A10 at some point soon as well. Curious to hear thoughts on how they compare.   
Thinking about buying new Grado Headphones
Buy them from some place you can return easily for a full refund if needed. The newest Grado headphones actually sound real nice to my ears, and I'm someone who hasn't like a lot of the Grado designs over the past decade or more. But I will freely... 
ZMF vs Super Review*
I think ZMF could have handled it better, and he admitted as much in his follow up apology. I'd also say the reviewer is largely to blame for poorly handling the measurement process and then arguing about it. He should have taken the pointers abou... 
Balanced wiring for Sennhesier 800 S
I've used Forza Audio Works and Norne Cables with great results. Both should have many options for different cable options, termination choices, maybe even colors, so you can find something to fit your budget.  
Sound quality of HD Radio vs CD vs Streamers??
I would listen to music played out of a tin can with a string connected to it, if it was music I loved and that was the only way to hear it. This is why I use Spotify and Bandcamp even though they aren't the best quality. But when given more choi... 
Dac with build-up streamer
I'm a fan of the Matrix Audio DACs with built in streaming. They have different models starting under $1,000 and going up to about $10,000 with many stops along the way. The different models I've used sounded just as good from the integrated strea... 
Veritas Cables a new brand that I found
@maxima95 Sorry that was me, I get long winded at times. In summary the Magnus XLR cables are really clean and fast, but also have nice tone so not thin at all. I compared them to a few different XLR cables (some a lot more expensive) and the Magn... 
Experience up-leveling streaming with USB cables?
@luvtubes69 Thanks for that link, that was a fun read. I feel similar in that all the USB cables I've been messing with make a difference but it's not huge at all. On the one hand I feel like people might be expecting too much of an upgrade when ... 
Line Magnetic LM 24 thoughts
The drawer being a bit flimsy is a tale as old as time. I've owned so many CD players or transports where they build out some huge beefy chassis, nice looking footers, top notch sockets out back, etc. But then the drawer pops out and it feels abou... 
Anybody heard the Modwright Linear Power supply with the Weiss 204 Dac?
ModWright makes excellent gear. I still regret selling my upgraded Oppo 205 disc player, what a beast. I'm convinced it sounded so good largely because of the big external LPSU they included. However it's tough to say how much came from that versu... 
Experience up-leveling streaming with USB cables?
No I don't believe I saw that, have a link? I always appreciate when people post their in depth experiences. I find that those are often more valuable even than a pro review on some website or in a magazine. That's because the person is writing ou...
