| XLR cable recommendations needed I also highly recommend the Zavfino Fusion cables. They are in your price range and are very popular with Audiogon members. Do a search and you will find a long thread about them. I have 3-4 pairs myself. | |
| ROON? By the end of the year Roon should be available for current Aurender models. They are going through the certification process right now. | |
| Tip for purchase new power cable @marco777 My only question is why your only source for cables is EBAY? | |
| Burn in vs perception I think BURN IN is the biggest hoax and misunderstanding there is in the Audiophile community! The statements people making about anything needing burn in makes no sense at all. The sound of the equipment is not changing but peoples own hearing an... | |
| Tidal hifi I'm VERY HAPPY with the sound quality of Tidal Hifi. I had BOTH Tidal and Qobuz for several months and just recently decided to cancel Qobuz. Ignore the Tidal haters and listen with your own ears. I have an extremely resolving system and Qobuz doe... | |
| Triode Wire Labs or NRG Custom The Five for my 300b SET tube amp? I own the TWL 7 Plus, 10 Plus and digital power cable but unfortunately, I have nothing to compare it to. The quality of these cables does seem very good though. | |
| New, Very Interesting CD Transport When I was younger people used to say Japanese items were junk! Boy how times have changed! MANY Audiophile and other non-audio related products are made in China and are very high quality! It's all dependent on the quality control that is being u... | |
| Magnepan LRS+ which amps do you use ? * 100 watts or less ** Just make sure the amp is capable to easily handle 4-ohm loads. I was using an amp that was 90 watts into 4 ohms and I was surprised at how good it sounded. It was capable of moderate listening levels with no problems, but I did notice it got very... | |
| For those that have heard Dutch & Dutch 8c.. I asked this question, and they did tell me I could use my own DAC. The problem is if you do that will it disable the built in DSP. It seems like this DSP is critical for these speakers to sound their best. | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. At Axpona they were playing an unreleased ET speaker that sounded very good. Unfortunately, I don't remember the details. | |
| Best sounding headphones you have owned? I went to CANJAM 2022 in NYC and listened to ALL of the TOTL headphones and ended up buying the RAAL SR1b with their VM-1a Tube amp, For me the only other headphone even remotely close was the Abyss AB-1266 | |
| Will there be a dramatic difference? If you are considering a used JC5 then you should also consider a used CODA #8. It's just as good or better than the JC5 and has a transferable 5-year warranty. This amp has massive current reserves. | |
| Shootout: Roon versus Plex, Qobuz versus Tidal: Who Won? I agree with the OP that it's pretty much a wash as far as sound quality is concerned with Tidal and Qobuz. I stayed with Tidal since its cheaper for me. Being retired military, I get a discount and only pay $11.99/Month compared to $12.99/month f... | |
| Best Forum to hear experienced audiophiles exchange thoughts? If you have more focused interest in Audio you can also join Facebook groups for them. I'm a member of several including Luxman and Magnepan. Just do a search on groups. | |
| Shootout: Roon versus Plex, Qobuz versus Tidal: Who Won? I've tried all of those services and stayed with Tidal. Roon shouldn't be in the mix since it isn't really a streaming service like the others. They can't improve the sound unless you possibly use convolution filters. |
