| AB testing of power regenerators?? Ever do it? I did some quick A/B testing between my older PS Audio Power Plant P5 and the Bryston BIT-15 which is based on a balanced power transformer (it's mostly a rebadged Torus design I think). In my system the Bryston offered noticeable improvement in d... | |
| Monoprice Monolith Amps I would also check out Nord, VTV, Apollon, and Buckeye. They all make similar designs based on some of the same Hypex modules (or others if you prefer, like Purifi or IcePower etc). Check out the looks, the pricing, and see if any of them speak ... | |
| Short List of speaker Upgrade Yup, you should really try to listen to each set, very minimum in a dealer showroom situation but ideally in your own home. That's really the only way to be sure. All likely great speakers in their own ways but hard to say which one is best for yo... | |
| Bryston Model T Signature speakers I've heard the regular Model T as well as the Axiom M100 which I believe they are based on (or vice versa?). They were both enjoyable, I would say a little bit relaxed sounding, nice dynamics, focus on being smooth rather than ultra detailed, so t... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found @mbolek thanks, appreciate your perspective as someone who knows way more than me about the building process. | |
| 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... |
