| Power cord for Bricasti M3 I have never heard anyone use that word regarding any Audience product. Audience always made neutral/warm products until the Front Row, which some have criticized for being too forward. Looks like audience finally learned what Nordost knew for yea... | |
| Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed? You have very revealing amps and speakers that are going to expose every flaw in the recording. I think it’s going to be tough to alter that characteristic with another dac. I see this a lot. People spend a fortune on “accurate” gear and another ... | |
| Disadvantages of buying old solid state. Buying anything used is a gamble, which is why it’s important to buy from a company that services its older products. Pass has an excellent reputation, but sometimes parts are no longer available, so you should check with Pass about that. | |
| Large speaker recommendation Personally, I think once you get used to Sonus Faber, many other speakers may sound disturbingly forward to you. But, as long as people want to guess, how about the new PS Audio speakers? Maybe you should just add a couple of subs for when you wan... | |
| Pre Playback Wipedown Just search for DIY record cleaning fluids. There are tons out there. | |
| How can a PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC enhance my system? I would call PS Audio. They pride themselves on customer service, so they should be able to walk you through any issues. At least that’s what Paul claims. Can’t hurt. | |
| 10k Towers with biggest soundstage? Get a used pair of Wilson Watt/Puppies. Blows everything up in size. Not my cup of tea, but a lot of people love them. Not a Wilson hater btw. I like the Sophias quite a bit. To me they have a more realistic image size. | |
| Best Phono Stage You want to spend 5k on everything or just on the phono stage? Personally, if I had no experience with vinyl I would seek out a local dealer so they can assist you with selection and setup. Don’t worry about an endgame vinyl rig first time out. J... | |
| Best company to mod your gear? I would proceed with caution regarding mods unless the modder has a track record with a particular piece of equipment. Like Modwright did for the Oppo DVD players. He’s perfected those mods and knows the end result. Just replacing parts with more... | |
| Why Does My Current Music Sound So Much Better than It Did in the 80’s? Because you were younger and having too much of a good time to care about what your hifi sounded like. | |
| Does Anyone Else Member the Golden Age of Audio Insults and Product Degradation? Pie-in-ear. | |
| Best Rock Drummers I never paid much attention to him before, but I developed a newfound appreciation for Simon Phillips. Incredible musical ability, versatility and technique up the kazoo. I hate to compare, but for my money, for guys that play a big kit, I much pr... | |
| How do you make a final decision on a DAC I think you should keep the benchmark. It’s a good product and I don’t think there is anything to be gained buying one of the dacs you list for listening to loud rock in a shop . | |
| DAC Upgrade Dilemma - PS Audio Digital Link III w/Cullen Mod to Direct Stream DAC vs How long have you had the new dac before coming to this conclusion about the sound? It’s entirely possible you just prefer your older one, which is fine, but I think you need to listen to the new one for at least 2 weeks before making a judgment.... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. One theory is as good as the next I guess. You can manufacture conspiracies and ulterior motives in everything if you want to. Personally, I go for the simplest explanation first. All the measurement guys are telling you is that the product has po... |
