| Upgrade my DAC or buy more weed? dbtom2116 posts08-17-2016 9:19amI believe that DAC is a known 'gateway' device. Your desire to upgrade it is typical of a user's path to harder, more devastatingly costly equipment. Titration might help stem the progression. Please, for the sake o... | |
| The most transparent speaker cable dave_b1,706 posts08-26-2016 7:35pmNordost definitely should be tried...I have found their designs to fall into the flawed camp. Not balanced in their presentation.Hmmmm....... Certainly not my experience. I would put them at the top of the list. | |
| Cable Controversy psag OP349 posts07-29-2016 9:49amOk, but even for short runs, I don't agree that a single ended cable will outperform a balanced cable. There may be exceptions, but in general, I think its accepted that balanced cable is an advance oversingle ende... | |
| Cable Controversy Psag, I guess I was not clear. That is the same point I was trying to make. For short runs cmnr is inconsequential ergo inclusion of a a phase inverter is a net loss (all else held constant). | |
| Cable Controversy Atmasphere, Interesting post. Your views certainly are in contrast to many of your peers. Obviously, many well regarded designers believe the benefits of a single ended topology significantly outweigh the benefits of common mode noise rejection (a... | |

| Raidho just announced new D .1 models They still can't confirm a turnaround. I have been trying since March to get into the que. They will update the delivery date when they get my speakers. | |

| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Yes xti16 you are correct about Soulution/Raidho but you must be careful. If you use these types of instruments with properly designed isolated power, an MSB Diamond Dac V and a purpose built room you might start hearing differences in cables. Thi... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? almarg6,477 posts06-20-2016 4:13pm....... identifying the root cause (or causes) of a sonic shortcoming can often be sufficiently difficult to make adhering to those philosophies problematical. To a greater or lesser degree, of course, depending o... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Drac,Regarding your comments 1,2, 3, and 5 you seem to lack an appreciation for how things work in a free market economy. Operators capable of raising capital must set pricing on the products the capital is used to produce at a level that maximize... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Al, I understand your points. I guess I was presuming if a person was going to take the step of using a wire with superior properties (capacitance, inductance et. al.) they would take the steps to engineer the system holistically. Taking things on... |
