| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC At the Axpona show I just attended; Mojo Audio's owner was claiming I2S was never meant as an external input/output and that's why it isn't a standard. It was meant as an internal only connection not to exceed a few inches. This was heard by many ... | |
| Axpona 2022 what impressed you? What impressed me for reasonable priced systems were the ATC rooms cheaper 2-way powered speakers, the Alta Adam speaker and the New top of the line PSB speaker in the NAD room. | |
| Tuner choice Onkyo Integra T-9090 II. I'm kicking myself for selling mine many years ago! | |
| What is the BLUE JEANS equivalent for Power Cables? CLICK ME Just got back from Axpona and Blue jeans had a cable display/table. The link above is for their collaboration with Belden for various audio type cables. The cables looked nice, but the interconnect cables were pretty stiff. | |
| Anyone catch 7 Myths of Digital at AXPONA? I was seated at this presentation and found it very interesting! I immediately knew much of this would be very controversial though. IMHO you have to remember this is coming from the owner of Mojo Audio and his bottom line is to sell you equipment... | |
| Can a Amp be "timeless" and compete with todays amps? The vintage amplifiers still sound good but parts quality has definitely improved over the years with Capacitors and other low noise parts. IMHO, it's possible to build a superior amplifier now but it will be at a cost! | |

| Will I benefit from a subwoofer with 20Hz speakers? How much music content goes BELOW 20 Hz ? | |
| VM-1a: New RAAL SR1a Headphone amp Haha, one of those VM-1a amps was actually mine. It's being delivered by FedEx tomorrow courtesy of headamp.com. I'm glad you didn't take that one home. I have a brand-new pair of RAAL SR1a headphones waiting for it, | |
| Bricasti M5 or Lumin U1 Mini or ? The U1 Mini has been discontinued. New one's aren't available. | |
| Headphones vs full range speakers I suggest going to the headfi forum. I've been a member there for years and you will learn everything you need to know and will be exposed to many brands of products you never heard of before. | |
| What do audiophiles do in their cars? Stream Tidal over my android phone on my 2020 Lexus ES350 UL with the factory Mark Levinson stereo. Sounds pretty good for a factory stereo but the car is very quiet. | |
| What's your dream speaker? For me in the mid/later 70's and early 80's it was the Magnaplaner Tympani I's and the JBL L-212's. |
