| 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... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found @samureyex That is very weird. I can't even think of a way that would be possible. Now with headphones and their cables which get stressed by regular use then it makes total sense. It's one of my biggest frustrations with headphones in general. Bu... | |
| Experience up-leveling streaming with USB cables? I'm in the same boat, currently have a Zenith MK3 and plan on getting their reclocker as well. Been looking at cable options and picked up a few when I see good deals. So far I've go a Clarus Crimson, Crystal Cable Diamond, Audience Frontrow, and... | |
| Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords? My experience is that everything matters in an audio system. That includes cables, and yes, power cables. Even on source components. Sometimes especially on source components. People are free to disagree with my opinions. We all draw the line so... | |
| Streamer apps critical For me, Roon was an easy choice to bring my current streamer and all future streamers into the same excellent user interface. I know the price seems high at first, but if you think about it, a lot of people spend the amount of the lifetime Roon li... | |
| Elac Debut 3.0 DB63 Review Good writeup, thank you for taking the time. Looks like a nice value on these. Always nice when something is affordable and also can be had from a lot of places which allow easy returns. Makes for a low risk experiment to try them out. |
