| Cables for Audio Mirror Tubadour III Great advice! I agree that the best path is to get my AMT upgraded first before spending money on ic's and power cords. I'll stay put for the time being.@pastorbob -- I ordered the Curious cable (reg version) and received it yesterday. I'm keeping... | |
| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way @mapman Very interested in your review. I have Harbeth P3esr's which someone will have to pry out of my cold dead fingers, but I'm tempted to sell my current LS50 wireless and get the new ones (non-wireless). | |
| 432 EVO @audiotroy I personally don't have an issue with you pitching your products here. This is your livelihood so I understand. But if you're going to put a brand down like this, I think it's fair to ask for some proof. Can you share the names of the E... | |
| Cables for Audio Mirror Tubadour III @jjss49 Thanks for the reply. Actually I was thinking about silver ic's. Since both my DAC and amp are tubes, I wouldn't mind a wee bit of sparkle as long as it doesn't sound harsh or bright. Any thoughts on power cord?My AMT3 is still breaking in... | |
| 432 EVO @audiotroy Do you have any statistics, news, studies, etc. to show that Innuous distributors are dropping Innuous? And why? | |
| KEF LS50 Meta I saw Steve Guttenberg's review and he is mighty impressed. In fact, he called it a breakthrough product. I have the KEF LS50 wireless ... so tempted to sell them and get these instead. | |
| DAC choices -- help me cross the line @in_shore I'm sure it's a great product, and I most definitely want to support a regular agon member if I can. But I can't seem to find any reviews on this product. More importantly I don't know what kind of synergy is there with my AMT dac. If yo... | |
| Pink Floyd and Weed @grm -- I bought a Quicksilver Audio headphone amp a few months ago. I have the Senn HDXX (same as 650 and somewhat similar to your 600), Focal Clear and Hifiman Arya. The QS amp was a night and day difference. If you read my other threads, bass i... | |
| DAC choices -- help me cross the line @jmolsberg -- it's good to know that you're happy with the upgraded version. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of improvements did you notice? Were they subtle or quite noticeable? Once I upgrade the USB cable, power cord, RCA cables, in that... | |
| DAC choices -- help me cross the line @pastorbob and @in_shore Thank you for the recommendations. I was trying to search for the Smoked BBQ cable but all I'm finding is expired listings. I checked out the Curious Cable website, and looks like they sell the regular version for $350 (0.... | |
| DAC choices -- help me cross the line @pastorbob -- How much of an impact did a better USB cable make in your system? I'm currently using the AudioQuest Forest USB cable, which I bought for around $65. I don't necessarily have any complaints but just want to see if I can take it up by... | |
| DAC choices -- help me cross the line @yyzsantabarbara IIRC, teejay (Terry London) has raved about the balanced version of MHDT Pagoda as compared to the regular version, so clearly there's a benefit. If the rest of the chain also supports balanced, I'm pretty sure it will offer some ... | |
| DAC choices -- help me cross the line @yyzsantabarbara I think the best thing to do is to reach out to Vlad directly and see what he says. Although, you probably won't hear from him for several days ... guess that's just the way he rolls. Another option is to ask teejay who is very we... | |
| DAC choices -- help me cross the line I should have followed my own advice and kept my mouth shut until accumulating 50+ hours on the DAC. I have been running the DAC for 12 hours every day for the last 3-4 days, and the sound has transformed dramatically. I’ve always known that audio... | |
