| What exactly is PRaT??? Thanks @soix , this is a bit of a mystery to me too, though I don’t doubt that it exists. Maybe it goes by other names, or feelings, when everything has that just right feeling. | |
| ???YOUR Personal Favorite???Why??? I can only say KEF Reference 1’s because that is what I have. I am open to new ideas though not sure what would beat them. | |
| Do power bricks break in? I think everything requires a bit of break in, give it some time and try the comparison again. | |
| Interconnect Break In? My experience is that it takes a minimum of three days for any cable change to settle in to the system and show it’s true character. Whether it is my brain or the cable I do not know, but it seems pretty consistent. | |
| Audiophile Surge Suppressor (and nothing else) Yes, good to hear your voice again @erik_squires , thanks for your comments. I have a lot of ideas based on this conversation, thanks for all the feedback. | |
| Six DAC Comparison Many thanks for your excellent and even-handed reviews of these DAC’s, quite an undertaking. If you ever need a side gig you could join the glamorous world of audio reviewers. | |
| Audiophile Surge Suppressor (and nothing else) @total111 The Torus products look like a pretty sound product. @rick_n I had not heard of the Clarus, it seems decent as well, though maybe a little out of my price range when going beyond the Duet. | |
| Magico speakers too clinical and fatiguing? Having heard so much in the trades about Magicos, I was interested to hear them at AXPONA. Shows are not ideal, I know, but I was underwhelmed. I heard plenty of other speakers that were much more to my liking, I guess it comes down to preference. | |
| Audiophile Surge Suppressor (and nothing else) Some good recommendations here that I was not aware of, thanks. What brought me here? I have an aging Furman PFi 20 that hums, and I am trying out a Puritan PSM156, but that is not going too well. This made me think I should abandon it all and... | |
| KEF Meta speakers vs non meta I have KEF Reference 1’s and am wondering the same thing about the meta version. I have seen some reviews stating it is a whole new speaker, but that seemed a bit over the top. I am interested to hear if anyone has made the upgrade. | |
| Audiophile Surge Suppressor (and nothing else) I have installed a whole house suppressor, however it is my first understanding that these may not be sufficient to save your gear. I do not live in a high risk area, so it might be overkill to worry about it. What if I revised the questio... | |
| New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid +1 for a trip to hear some different speakers. While not ideal listening, attending a show is also a good way to sample a lot of brands and narrow your search. | |
| Power cord upgrade Thanks @audphile1 , you just saved me the time. If you can't hear the difference, you need a better system, or better ears. The only point I can agree on with the naysayers is that science cannot yet explain it. | |
| Music server recommendations needed. I have an Innuos Zenith Mk III that is well regarded and has excellent user software. It also has a CD slot for ripping, but not playing, CD's to the internal drive. My suggestion however is to keep your CD player, get the best Innuos unit that y... | |
| Aurender and native DSD output I believe that AES which is SPDIF, does not support anything over 192 KHz, and so DSD will not work on that interface. |
