| Let the Games Begin Some of these replies are technically over my head, so I will give a simpleton's explanation of what I am hearing in my latest system which I have been running for about 6 months now. System: Jay's Audio CDT3 Mk3 CD Transport Holo Audio May Lev... | |
| AI and the future of music I recently threw some questions at ChatGPT to see what was up. Questions were about politically sensitive subjects such as 911 about which I know a lot. It is obvious that the AI data collection is filtered and skewed. If AI ever attains primacy i... | |
| Amplifier considerations, PrmaLuna EVO 400 versus ARC Reference 160 S. Is ARC worth it? My Primaluna EVO Power amp has benefited greatly from using Sophia Electric blue "coke bottle" EL34 ST A-matched tubes in the power tube positions.

| Let the Games Begin The lower noise floor of 24/192 relative to 16/44.1 was a surprise to me. Though it is relatively minute, it is probably audible to golden ears on revealing systems. | |

| BEST CD TRANSPORT Jay's Audio CDT3 Mk3, i.e their latest offering. I run it always with the 174 Hz toggle to "on" with which the Holo May syncs just fine. The 174 HZ is at another level of articulation and smoothness for Redbook CD's. The synergy between the Jay's ... | |
| Build a Faraday cage around your equipment. Phone Faraday pouch One reviewer (5th on down) mentioned that this Faraday pouch blocked radio cell signals but not Wi-Fi. Thought I heard somewhere that Wi-Fi might be more problematic than radio for sound systems. | |
| Recommendation for sub with high level inputs My REL S-812’s got a sonic upgrade when I attached DIY "grounding boxes" to their RCA plugs. |
