| whats the very best sounding cables for realistic money I’ve compared my shorter (.5 meter) silver SP/DIF cable to a 1 meter version and found the above claim of 1 meter digital cables not working as well to be baseless. This may be in issue in theory, but at least in my attempt at testing it by actual... | |
| 16 bit is good enough..... Perhaps my fondness for tube amps somehow masks digital nasties, but especially now that I've started using a brilliantly designed single ended pentode amp (Dennis Had Inspire "Fire Bottle High Output"), the resolution (I think that's what's happe... | |
| 16 bit is good enough..... I have a claimed "up sampling" DAC so there's whatever that does (good cables for it, groovy power supply…frequent dusting), but man…"Redbook" mondo no problemo that can sound astonishingly clear and detailed, and lots of ECM stuff as I'm in my be... | |
| whats the very best sounding cables for realistic money I’m a solid core fan (lots of AQ items) and simply out of curiosity I bought an inexpensive (the MOST inexpensive they make, the MA1…2 tiny wires) Morrow Audio IC during a sale thing a couple of months ago. After a long break-in it’s seems like su... | |
| Considering switching from Audio Research to PrimaLuna, troube with VS115 amp I'm wearing an Oris Diver 65 with a Selitta SW200 movement and a riveted steel band. A work of art for 1200 bucks! (sorry…I'm also serious watch guy...hard core!) An interesting thing about Rolex is how insanely successful those guys are…actually ... | |
| Considering switching from Audio Research to PrimaLuna, troube with VS115 amp Dennid Had writes about his recent single ended amp designs (especially on his Ebay listings…the only actual marketing of his amps other than headphone stuff) here and there but doesn't publish specs, offer a warranty, or guaranty anything…adorabl... | |

| Considering switching from Audio Research to PrimaLuna, troube with VS115 amp My Fire Bottle amp is made by an old man who's stuck in North Carolina (it's really hot there a lot of the time, and he's not getting any younger) forcing himself to make this stuff by hand and sell it cheap…sad, just sad…*sniff*... | |
| 450 Pound Monobloc Amplifier The best sounding amp I've ever owned is the single ended tube amp I'm using currently…it weighs a massive 15 pounds and puts out a mighty 12 watts per side. Mighty. | |

| Coherent Speakers from Canada This has been said before, but when has redundancy every stopped somebody around here? Any properly designed speaker should play all music well. Dynamics of classical music, acoustic jazz trios (especially modern ones…as an example a current fave ... | |
| More curious than a real question- remote trigger? Anyone use it? I use a trigger…finger…it's part of my hand, and it does have an effect on the sound as it can be used for level adjustment, utilized with other fingers (also part of my hand, of which I have 2) it can move things around, and will allow most compo... | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener My "outstanding" subs were bought used but in perfect working order, and both were inexpensive at around 200 bucks each. I built my own Neutrik Speakon festooned cables which were also inexpensive using Canare Star Quad cable. One of the the most ... | |
| Lifters ForGetting Cables Off The Floor, Worth It Or Snake Oil Typos…I hate typos…"seismic of simply" should have been "seismic OR simply"… | |
| Lifters ForGetting Cables Off The Floor, Worth It Or Snake Oil Geoffkait has just noted many of the reasons why one should give little to no credibility to, or be bothered by, any alleged or imagined audio playback issues caused by tiny amounts of vibration (seismic of simply vibes of bewildered astonishment ... |
