| Do speaker cables really make a difference ? AUDIO: SPEAKER CABLES - From Alan Shaw (owner and designer of HARBETH) ” … So, the moral of the story is this: the most important factor of the loudspeaker cable that you should select is the amount of metal in the cable core. More metal mean... | |
| Best concert video ev-ah Well, given that it took place ~50 years ago, the audio and video quality pushes my vote to Hendrix in Maui: Jimi Hendrix Experience Live in Maui 1970 | |
| Synergistic Research Euphoria HC power cord. Yes, I have thought, related to one of my Audio Axioms: the more hyperbolic the name of a component, the more skeptical one should be, especially of relative value 😀 | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? I have to say that some of the responses by certain posters, including the OP, have been very disappointing. @prof is a serious audiophile who has related, professional qualifications, is an independent thinker, and a very helpful contributor to ... | |
| Audio Note DAC Owners- please share your thoughts @designsfx I am also using an Aqua La Scala Optologic MKII, and if you find any DAC that you consider to be clearly better, I'd be interested to hear about it. I say that because it's difficult for me not to imagine a steep slope of diminishing ... | |
| Has anyone truly compared Vintage vs. Modern? I have never done an A/B comparison, but a few years ago I enjoyed using a re-capped Accuphase E-303X. When I switched to modern amps (Hegel, GATO and now Circle Labs), though, I would say that it was clear that they were better. | |

| LaScala dac with telefunken tubes @designsfx I would be interested to hear your impressions of any differences between the two. As I mentioned, I am quite inexperienced with tubes, and my current hybrid amp and DAC are my first forays into that world. I don’t doubt that there ar... | |
| Has anyone compared the Coda CSib to a Jeff Rowland Continuum S2? am sure in the ensuing decade, with successive iterations, the product has been improved sonically, but i have no desire to try again... i just feel with that brand, the money is put towards the sexy milled faceplate as much as the innards and ac... | |
| LaScala dac with telefunken tubes I am using a La Scala DAC, and am delighted with it. I am not, however, a tube expert. FWIW, the reviewer Christian Punter, who hold the Aqua DACs in high regard, had this to say on the thread topic: As the manufacturer has specially selected t... | |
| Has anyone compared the Coda CSib to a Jeff Rowland Continuum S2? Thanks for the responses thus far! I find it interesting that all have been focussed on Coda, and none on Jeff Rowland. I presume that the lopsided disparity is due at least in part to the fact that the latter is Class D, and many audiophiles rem... | |
| Has anyone compared the Coda CSib to a Jeff Rowland Continuum S2? @jjss49 I'm still happy with the CL, but my favorite previous integrated was a first gen. Rowland Concentra, and I have always wondered about how his current models sound. As for the comparison in the thread title, I have seen the high praise ... | |
| Cables to settle brightness Many recordings have a hot top end. What you are hearing is likely an accurate rendering of the recording. This may be true, and I agree that taking the recordings into account is very important when assessing a problem. I moved into a new home... | |
| FIdelity Cables or Virtual Dynamics I used VD David speaker cables and XLRs for a number of years, and was very happy with them. They are stiff, but can be molded to adapt to different spaces. I bought them used, and for a reasonable price, and would be inclined to do so again if t... | |
| This is purely subjective opinion. Aqua LaScala/ Atma-Sphere Class D But one does not need to paint flames onto the Pinto. 😂😂 |
