| Hello Guys, @audiotroy You seem to be someone with a good deal of experience in this industry. Ignoring price, what technologies are truly useful when considering power cables, conditioners and power plant like products? Perhaps, this is an unfair question... | |
| Quobuz subscription I would never think to compare YouTube vs Qobuz. This just doesn’t make any sense. Something is wrong with your setup. There are plenty of poorly recorded albums, but YouTube specializes in censorship and not sound quality. | |
| Hello Guys, @mastering92 So, when others use the word “proprietary “, or ask us to believe their explanation of how their equipment works, we are suppose to doubt them and simply go to your system page…really? Can we distrust them and distrust you? I think... | |
| Hello Guys, The above proprietary claim is what seems to be used across the industry. What I want in a conditioner is the ability to provide stable voltage, isolation, noise suppression, surge protection and the ability to provide large amount of current for ... | |
| Preamp for VPI Prime 21 turntable $300-800 @panzrwagn Are transimpedance amplifiers appropriate for all moving coil cartridges, or are there impedance/gain concerns. I apologize, but I’m not that familiar with the design. | |
| Sound quality of new vinyl recordings. Considering that MOFI made digital copies of analog tapes for years and everyone thought the whole process was analog, I think that we can at least say that like analog, there is digital done right and not so much… It is pretty much impossible fo... | |
| Preamp for VPI Prime 21 turntable $300-800 @jasonbourne52 After reading many of your posts it seems that you have a storehouse of equipment. Yet, you don’t post a system. I get it. Must be same reason that you never start a thread. Anyway, appreciate your wide ranging experience with... | |
| Preamp for VPI Prime 21 turntable $300-800 @classicalguy The problem is that everything is dependent upon everything else in your system and your own preference regarding presentation. I had a knowledgeable sales rep from a large internet vendor help me with advice. We decided to start w... | |
| LP cleaning I enjoy listening to records and the Disc Doctor and Degritter make my cleaning routine easy and effective. When I need to glue two pieces of wood, wood glue makes my assembly efforts easy. | |
| Little Richard, Big Mama Thornton and BB King Can You Suggest Best Albums? @tomcy6 Qobuz… I’ll give all above a listen | |
| Preamp for VPI Prime 21 turntable $300-800 A moving coil preamp is asked to greatly and faithfully amplify with little noise. This not only requires a quality set of well designed internal components, but it must also have clean power. A good power cable can be found in your suggested pric... | |
| What is the current retail cost of your reference system? @bigtwin Well said and your wife is amazing. I hide my audio equipment expenditures from my wife and she pretends that she doesn’t notice. | |
| Little Richard, Big Mama Thornton and BB King Can You Suggest Best Albums? I streamed some performances of these three, but the recordings themselves sounded less than stellar. BB King probably sounded the best, but this just represents a small sampling of each artist. I think that many of these were recorded from live p... | |
| Shunyata Delta or Alpha V2 NR vs. AQ Hurricane HC @audphile1 I have two REL subwoofers, a 300 watt/channel integrated, streamer, DAC and phono preamp plugged into the Everest power conditioner.. The Denali has 3 and Everest has 6 30amp isolated circuits. | |
| Shunyata Delta or Alpha V2 NR vs. AQ Hurricane HC I have a Sigma on my integrated, but only compared to factory cable. Upgraded other components from Viper to Sigma V2 NR with improvement. Also, upgraded two Alpha V2 NR to Sigma V2 NR, but I really didn’t go back and forth with this change since ... |
