| looking to replace Fyne speaker jumper cable If the OP's goal is neutrality, WireWorld would be my recommendation. Honestly, my old, beat up ears are no longer good enough to tell the difference between short jumpers. A long time ago, industry insiders determined that they could retire ear... | |
| Legacy Calibre - big soundstage - what other standmounts offer this? Having had a pair of active Calibre monitors in my home for a few months, I can confirm what you heard. Very few speakers at that price point do that so well. Pretty sick bass response as well for a speaker of that size. The quality of the veneer ... | |
| What is preferred/best contact cleaner these days? Thanks, Bob. I appreciate your detailed response and sharing the experience with your friends earlier. I understand completely. Might be worth a try one day. If equal or better than Q45T or even slightly less effective, many audiophiles would lov... | |

| ifi LAN iSilencer Thanks, Dave. | |
| ifi LAN iSilencer @davetheoilguy Please provide a link to the $13.99 device on Amazon you speak of. I can't find it when I searched for "LAN galvanic isolator" as you suggested. | |
| What did a good 10 MHz clock do for your Gustard R26? @pinwa +1, a subtle but noticeable improvement in my stereo. Worth the money. | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! I drive my Fyne F703 speakers with the S5.5. The sound quality is outstanding. I decided to sell my black S5.5 for a silver. I am yet another one that was told two weeks and now passing two months. Anyone ordering this amp after Terry's review c... | |
| Best DAC’S $5k to $15k Not sure what's best but my favorite based on both sound quality and features is the Weiss DAC501. | |
| Weiss 501 4 channel upgrade For further clarification, the original can still be ordered and is called Weiss DAC501 (black or silver). The new, upgraded version is called Weiss DAC501 - MK2 (black or silver). | |
| Weiss 501 4 channel upgrade The new MK2 (they changed the name since 4ch was confusing to most) 501 still has only two analog outputs (RCA or XLR balanced stereo). The DAC itself looks exactly the same. The upgrade is internal, I believe doubling the amount of DAC chips used... | |
| Anyone having shipping issues with Viva Tubes I purchased some tubes for my phono stage from Viva. Since they don't have a low noise testing option like, for example, TubeDepot, I specified that I needed a low noise pair when I placed the order. When the tubes arrived I found them too noisy f... | |
| In-wall cable I plan on upgrading several of my dedicated lines with this: Kingrex In Wall Wire |
