| Digital Improving All the Time? @kota1 - I guess you’re right. My post was primarily focused on the sound quality of 2-channel digital 20 years ago as opposed to today. There is always something new being sold. | |
| Digital Improving All the Time? Yeah, I guess DSD could be considered an improvement, although I would question whether it’s really better than the best CD/SACD players of times gone by. And HD Tracks hi-res downloads have been around for a long time as well. I guess my post was... | |
| Blu Ray player versus CD/SACD player. The most important part of your question was “will I hear a difference…”. The fact is, you can buy a $7500 Marantz or $16k Luxman and you may not hear a difference. Nobody can predict what you will hear. My advice is to find a dealer and ask if th... | |
| any lawyers in this forum care to give an advice? Try making a complaint to your attorney general. In NY, this can be done online. I made complaints against AT&T and an insurance company and actually got results. It’s free and companies generally listen when they get a call from the AG. | |
| Power Cables - Stock vs. Budget I have some nice Pangea cords up for sale. Cheap- the magic word, right? Maybe you can use them. | |
| Tonearm/Cartridge pairing. Why don’t you ask a technics dealer what they recommend for your TT? Believe me, they have no desire to sell you something you want to send back. In the old days, I used a Denon 103, and it really sounded good to me. | |
| Why do so many members seem afraid of making an audio decision? @immatthewj - and like a person choosing their last meal, many audiophiles are trying to choose components as if it’s their last chance. The internet has allowed the audiophile to sift through literally hundreds of choices in every component categ... | |
| Careful if buying Purist Audio Neptune fluid cables. I have a Neptune IC, but never heard the speaker cables. The IC sounds very neutral to my ears, but I would not even try to extrapolate this to the speaker cables. | |
| Careful if buying Purist Audio Neptune fluid cables. I have the Poseidons and no issues. Also, Purist has some of the best customer service I’ve ever seen, so I would not have any hesitation to buy one of their products. | |
| Comparing external DAC to CD player DAC Nothing is wrong. You simply prefer one dac to another. Age is irrelevant. People often prefer vinyl records, which is a much older technology than any digital. You can certainly try another modern dac, but you still may prefer the marantz. BYW, s... | |
| Why do so many members seem afraid of making an audio decision? Take a 95 year old person to a diner and watch them peruse the 300-item menu. Then you will have the answer. | |
| Herbie’s Spike Decoupling Gliders: my…experience I have used many different items under speakers- spikes, gliders, wheels, furniture sliders…. I have never found the results to be predictable. I don’t think in terms of coupling, decoupling, physics or anything like that. I think in terms of liki... | |
| Audio Rack Opinions What about quadraspire? Good match with the LFD. | |
| Best vibration isolation for speakers on carpet? You could use 3 spikes instead of 4. Use 2 stock ones on the speaker and buy one aftermarket cone of the same size and use a spot of Blu Tak to hold it on the center of the opposite side. That will keep everything level, assuming your floor is l... | |
| Is this a audioquest cable counterfeit fake? @bishop55 - how much did you pay for the cable? I went briefly through the thread, but I didn’t catch it. |
