| Welcome to Hell, here's your 8-Track What other audio technology allows you to listen to two songs at the same time? Yes, 8-tracks were portable, but you always needed a matchbook handy to tweak the head position. | |
| Do speaker cables really make a difference ? @soix If you wanna stop messing around with entry-level cables, buy these Acoustic Zen Satori cables at a great price and go to the next level. If they don’t work out just turn around and sell them at little/no loss as there’s a fluid market f... | |
| Do Streamer only devices really impact sound quality? The ones and zeroes generally make it to your DAC intact. However, as noted in other posts here, streaming accuracy and the eventual sound is highly dependent on two other factors, timing (jitter) and electrical noise. Streamers make a huge differ... | |
| Where should I go from here with my digital front end? I was using a 30' CAT 6a cable from my hub to my streamer and recently switched to isolation using fiber endpoints and a short CAT 8 (LinkUp) cable. The upgrade was significant on my system. Guessing there was more noise than expected on the old l... | |
| Do speaker cables really make a difference ? Having recently replaced my Blue Jeans speaker cables with Mogami, I can weigh in on this discussion. Two totally different sounds, for sure. After playing the Mogami's for a couple months I was not so sure they were what I was looking for and swi... | |
| Schiit Freya + @brunomarcs The buyer has sent a video of the crackling noise and now says that's gone. Now the volume is making a noise. I've offered to refund him but he wants to send it schiit for repair. I would offer to take it back again and if he still... | |
| Schiit Freya + @brunomarcs I sold my Freya plus and shipped it to the guy and he's called and said it's making a crackling noise? Sounds like it's coming from the tubes. Anyone have experience this? Does it in all three modes! The stepped attenuator isn't the p... | |
| Custom rack, isolation under platform vs component? Very nice. Add some angle bracing on the back and sides, or a small panel and it will firm up nicely. | |
| GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week @johngp I'm currently trying out the No 8 and though I only have about 48 hours total on it I have to say it is shockingly good. Keep listening and run it 24/7 during your trial. My experience is it only gets better: | |
| KEF LS50 Speaker Stands My LS50’s sound best at ear level. Anything else and the whole soundstage is shifted up or down. However, I have found they also sound best to me with only a slight toe-in, i.e. not pointed directly at the listener. | |
| Review on Coda Technologies 16 Amplifier went live today @yyzsantabarbara It sounds like we have some similar tastes, I am running LS50's with a Coda #8 and a Freya + pre. What caught my eye was your pending choice of the Holo Serene as your next preamp, it is what I am eyeing as well as an upgrade to t... | |
| Transients hurting my ears on hifi solid state amps Clarification on my post, the Coda #8 is class AB, and delivers 18 watts of class A, but, is rated at 150w class AB. | |
| Transients hurting my ears on hifi solid state amps I took a look at the specs for your existing amplifier and the proposed Pass and Luxman, as well as those for your speakers. I have concerns that any of these amplifiers will properly drive your speakers which are 4 ohm and recommend 40-200 watts ... | |
| Schiit Audio @zlone have you had any reliability issues with the components that you own? My biggest concern is the Loki Max sending any spurious damaging signal downstream into any of the components.. I have an original Gungnir that I also shipped back t... | |
| Schiit Audio I own a couple of their components. They were consistently good to work with and responsive to some issues and concerns that came up with the equipment. I am very satisfied with the gear, great value. |
