| REVIEW: Schiit Bifrost DAC Maudji - which one did you miss - Bifrost, Gugnnir or DAC-1?I guess which one you prefer depends on how much you are prepared to spend to get close to reality.Up until recently I had thought my $550 Bifrost was pretty darn close to my $1500 Moon L... | |
| REVIEW: Schiit Bifrost DAC Mauidj - I think the DAC-1 may be the next level up in terms of sonic performance. The Schiit product that may be comparable is the Gungnir. Even so, the Gungnir is a pretty "basic" design in terms of functionality, but an excellent performer from... | |
| Magico S1 owners - speaker cable suggestions I'll second the gZero6!I took a pair of gZero2's to a friends house - he has the Magico V2's driven by an Ayre pre+power and they were very very good. Provided excellent control, smooth highs and fuller, deeper bass than the $$$Cardas cables he ha... | |
| Looking for an advice about speaker cables The Essense gZero2 from KLE Innovations is an extremely good speaker cable and nicely priced, especially when you find out just how good they really are.Probably the last cable you'll ever buy - that is, until you try the gZero6, which is outstand... | |

| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? I have an Audiomods arm with a continuous loom through to the phono stage.It came with Nakamichi RCA's and I had originally planned to replace them with Eichman Silver Bullets, then along came Keith Louis Eichmann with his latest set of products.S... | |
| Pure®Harmony RCA Plug I've just installed a pair of Pure Harmony on the continuous harness in my tone arm.The immediate improvements were very noticeable and included- significant extension to the high end - much more dynamic - sweeter/fuller sounding mid-freq's - HUGE... | |
| Question of priorities in audio cables Cable architecture also plays a significant role in cable performance, as I have recently learned.Examples of cable architecture are- Coax- balanced pair (shielded) e.g. Van den Hul DL102 mkiii- twisted pair - e.g. Stager Silver SolidsFor DIYers -... | |
| Audirvana Plays DSD without DSD compatible DAC In my original post I cited an example of an upper limit of 24/96.However, Audirvana actually converts DSD to 24bit and the highest sample rate multiple of 44.1kHz (e.g. 352.8, 176.4, 88.2, or 44.1kHz) - which is dependent on the upper limit of th... | |
| Audirvana Plays DSD without DSD compatible DAC Mateored - I view DSD as just another high resolution format. Granted, there may be some "technical benefits" of DSD, but at this level of performance I certainly won't be looking to compare it to other hi-res formats - just as I have stopped comp... | |
| Audirvana Plays DSD without DSD compatible DAC Alan - personally, I'm going to wait for the dust to settle before splurging on a DSD DAC, but I like the fact I'm not restricted in my choices of album, some of which may only be available in DSD.This option of Audirvana allows me to take advanta... | |
| Power Cords Snake Oil ?? Well, there is way more to power cords than meets the eye that's for sure. Otherwise there wouldn't be so many companies out there peddling this stuff.Since my last post I have experienced a lot of "discovery"But to cut a very long story down to a... | |
