| How many of you are digital only systems? I am 100% digital, I have moved my vinyl and TT all over the US since the 90s, but finally sold the TT this year. I am almost 100% streaming although I still have my Wadia 16 CD player acting as a transport. In response to the OP's comment on upgr... | |
| Anybody gone from ethernet to optical for connection to a streamer? I have an Etheregen and tried it with both Fiber and CAT and I could not hear the difference. (yes, I had only one hooked up at a time). The Etheregen switch claims it's "moat" galvanically separates the "in" from the "out". My limited listening ... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! I'm glad you tried them! Seriously there are a lot of folks on these forums that explain why this or that is equal to or better than what you just actually listened to! They have a free 30 trial! try them! I agree with fuzztone that your mileage w... | |
| Ethernet Cables If you are not sure the earth is flat or some other shape, buy the ViaBlue for 90 bucks and set sail for the Americas. I tried several Ethernet cables and conversed with lots of folks here and on other forums about Ethernet cables. I found in the ... | |
| ghentaudio Ethernet cable review-wow-90 bucks Exlibris, I'm going to wait to hear from you when you have both the ER and the ENO in house. Look forward to hearing what you say. I've been buying my own education and its getting expensive! What started out as a 90 buck cable is getting out of ... | |
| ghentaudio Ethernet cable review-wow-90 bucks Wow, this is really good info. I looked at their site and now have some questions for you. Since I have the EtherRegen and the Sablon2020 as well, I was wondering what order you would demo the ENO products. Cable first, then the filter? Is the Fil... | |
| TotalDAC D1 Driver-anyone using one yet? Sorry, one other thought. I tried to slip one by my wife who is a musician and has a better ear than I. I went dCS Bartok direct to the JC1+s and didn't tell her I did anything, but asked her how the system sounded. She said..."it sounds flat like... | |
| TotalDAC D1 Driver-anyone using one yet? No, but I have a Townsend Allegri passive coming on Tuesday to shoot it out with my ARC REF10. I have too many changes to be as thoughtful as I should be, but I also have a used Vivaldi stack coming which can also go direct. That said the Allegri ... | |
| transistor pre with the sound of tubes Or a hybrid! Rogue RP7 was a great preamp in my system. Just 4 tubes that last a very long time and allowed me to tube roll. In fact, changing just two of the four would influence the sound about 80%. It was my first foray into tubes as I wanted t... | |
| ghentaudio Ethernet cable review-wow-90 bucks You flipped on me! Were you testing me????Absolutely! The Etheregen was a massive positive for my streamer. In reducing sibilance, was way more musical(took away the digital flatness), and enhanced imaging. Way more than the difference between the... | |
| ghentaudio Ethernet cable review-wow-90 bucks I got the Sablon today and only have 3 hours on it. It's got that tizzy new cable thing going, but the imaging is deep and wide, bass is solid, decay very good. I didn't give the Belden a fair burn in as I really liked the musically engaging sound... | |
| Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Interconnects - Less is More! MC mentions that adding pods or Platforms under electronics adds the same type of improvements as the Podiums under speakers. I found this to be true. In my system the speaker Podiums (I'm going to simplify here for sake of brevity) made my speake... | |
| ghentaudio Ethernet cable review-wow-90 bucks I had about 40 hours on the Belden when the ViaBlue came and I haven't been able to take the ViaBlue out. It's really very engaging. I ordered the Sablon today (not a 100 cable test!!!) and due to sending him a bit more money than needed he is sen... | |
| ghentaudio Ethernet cable review-wow-90 bucks I just got the ViaBlue a couple hours ago and I have about 4 hours on it. Didn't like it at all for the first hour, then I agree with most of what you hear. The midrange stands out a very musical compared to the Belden. Bass is much bigger with th... | |
| Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Interconnects - Less is More! Newer to the forum and not possessing the obvious common knowledge that MC is a shill and just makes stuff up, I listened to him about isolation springs and subsequently bought Townsend Podiums for my Wilsons, and Platforms for my dCS, and my ARC ... |
