| "What a relief!!!" Congratulations on your arrival, that is a nice system. I still have ways to go in my journey. | |
| Whest BII Mastering Buffer An interesting niche product. Analog in and analog out, it seems to me that it only replaces a poorly performing preamp. | |
| Experience with SoulNote Dac2? @996turbo911 @bluethinker Thanks for all the additional information. I decided yesterday to pick up a used Bricasti M3. I view this as a tentative step towards the world of more detailed, and less warm, DAC'S. It is also a lower cost, less risk pa... | |
| Does Anyone Else Have a Very Slow Connection to Audiogon? Yes, it has definitely been slow and certainly more annoying ads. i will add a complaint, though not entirely limited to this site. Using my iPad, I frequently get page errors long after it has completed loading. This forces a refresh of the page... | |
| Experience with SoulNote Dac2? @arafiq Thank you for your comments, very helpful. I see you have a Merging+nadac, I had not heard of that one, sounds interesting, though a bit out of my price range. | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found @911turbo996 and others, can you comment on how well the power cords grip on the component end? I have been surprised at the anemic grip on some other upscale power cords. | |
| Speaker change Have a look at KEF Reference One’s. I had the non-meta version, it was very good on all levels, though they do require an amp with some low end torque. | |
| Experience with SoulNote Dac2? Thanks @bluethinker, I appreciate the follow up. I will do some more research. | |
| Pass Labs xa-25 or Coda Continum #8 I think that the noise comments stem from their preamps, which can be perceived as noisy. I had an older one with my #8, and I felt that was the case. | |
| Do you recall "instant improvement" from your first stand-alone DAC ? I think you will notice the difference, and the Frerot is a good choice. I think you are on the right track in keeping your expectations in check. You are only just starting down the digital rabbit hole, be patient and let your impressions of the ... | |
| Speaker wire for Pure Audio Project Speakers... advice needed....! I was on a speaker cable quest several years ago and started with the lower cost options. Each of them had some of that top end grain to them. @soix gave me the same advice, try some Acoustic Zen. While it may not be your last speaker cables, it m... | |
| Last Critical Tweak… how to quell occasional high harshness…? I am confused by the Old RCA comment, didn’t you replace them with the silversmiths with positive results? Start with speaker cables before changing your speaker wiring. If you like the Silversmith interconnects, maybe try their speaker cables. | |
| Experience with SoulNote Dac2? And sorry for hijacking, but it sounds like we are both looking for answers to the same question. | |
| Experience with SoulNote Dac2? @bluethinker I would be very interested to hear the results of that pairing, thank you. I am really starting to wonder what sound I am seeking. I also plugged in my spare DAC, a Schiit Modius+ coupled with a Singxer SU-6, and was honestly very im... | |
| Experience with SoulNote Dac2? @bluethinker Thanks for the tip, that is a good deal for sure. I am looking for something a little more lively, it sounds like the D2 is sounding that way to you. Keep us posted as you get used to it. @audphile1 Thanks for the commentary, I ha... |
