| Tuner - FM over the air - suggestions @dpop I understood the issue you brought up previously since I have always been a fan of FM radio and had been very disappointed in the last 2 decades with the state of radio. When I moved down to Southern Cal and discovered KCRW my faith in radi... | |
| Disservice: XLR interconnects @bdp24 Gear that adheres to the AES48 standard do have some audible sonic differences with various types of XLR's. The thing is if you are not too anal about it you can get 95% there with much lower cost pro cables. Even for those small difference... | |
| Tuner - FM over the air - suggestions Over the air FM sounds so much better where I live than streaming. I am currently listening to a classic rock station on a refurbished Accuphase T-101 tuner and I am just blown away at how good it sounds. I was thinking that is is almost as good a... | |
| Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet? @fredrik222 You are one cat that has selective comprehension. Who the heck was talking about " QOS over the Internet". I was talking about on the home network as I clearly stated in my reproduceable test of how to make a ROON stream distort the so... | |
| KEF LS60 with a pair of KC62s v Blade 2 I am trying to see if my LS50 Meta + KC82 sub will compete with the LS60. I saw a video very someone stacked the LS50 on top of the KC62 and another where the KC62 was raised to the same height as the LS50 Meta on stands. I get my KC62 from KEF re... | |
| Gustard R26 I am interested in how this R2R sounds. I owned the X26 Pro and wrote a lot about how much I liked it on A'gon. I sold the X26 Pro to fund the purchase of the Musetec 005. I like the 005 more than the X26 Pro but I wish I had kept the X26 Pro, it ... | |
| Theoretical battery power supply question Give Ric a call at EVS. He is doing something with batteries these days and posting on A'gon. http://tweakaudio.com/EVS-2/Inverter_Power.html | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @jjss49 Whenever I go wine tasting in the Bay Area (Napa + Sonoma) I always ask for a straw. .. (who has a Topping in his audio chain is probably a person who only pays attention savings so I don't expect it to have a high-end system alas ...) ... | |
| Most Extensive State-of-the-Art DAC Survey Ever! None of those DACs on that list interest me. The only one I would even consider would be the T+A one at their crazy price. They seem to at least have some technical chops behind the research they do and thus maybe able justify the price in my eyes... | |
| Best High Current amplifiers stable into low impedances Here is another new amp that doubles down in Class A and is not big and heavy. Rei | WestminsterLab It uses similar tech as the new KRELL iBias way of doing Class A. Not real Class A as stated by companies like Gryphon. @secretguy So a classic ... | |
| THE NEW DCS APEX DAC VS THE PREVIOUS ROSSINI Just any FYI for comparing DACs. A great way to compare DAC's is to use a neutral preamp with identical input type (XLR or RCA). Connect each DAC to a preamps input. Assuming you need a streamer, then get 2 identical streamers. The key is to use... | |
| The State of Streaming Audio I have had Qobuz and Tidal for a few years and I prefer Tidal for the MY MIXES feature. It makes mixes based on you listening patterns, your library, along with Tidal's recommendations. I have a very eclectic mix of music that I listen too and I ... | |
| Best High Current amplifiers stable into low impedances I may have misinterpreted the OP's question. I believe there is a difference between HIGH CURRENT vs WATTS. Can anyone set me straight on that. I am considering the excellent 150 watt CODA #16 (which is supposed to be high current) vs some other a... | |
| Most Extensive State-of-the-Art DAC Survey Ever! The more important question is whether you would want to own those DACs? | |
| Best High Current amplifiers stable into low impedances I think I I need to give one of these amps a try before I buy an old school amp for my Livingroom. I love the sound of the Benchmark AHB2 (that is no sound). Though the AHB2's power in 2 Ohm is lacking in stereo and definitely in mono. The Purif... |
