| Kondo vs Audio Note silver Yes, it's referring to the annealing process. If you shock the metal for quick annealing, it does one thing to the sound. Allowing it to cool over long periods of time does something else to the sound. | |
| Kondo vs Audio Note silver Well how does the Kondo copper compare to Lexus? I am also very familiar with Lexus, which is quite nice. | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? @soix Like you said in the original post, you don't get it. That's correct. | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? Prat encompasses the full energy in the music or instrument to begin with. It’s the natural energy, like plucking a high end guitar versus a cheap one. The high end guitar will give off more prat, and allow more expression. Getting prat in playba... | |
| Recommend a DAC based on Analog Devices? @iseland truthfully, this is correct. I have modded DACs and built power supplies and discovered so. But I was going to look at the topology and parts of suggestions for AD DACs and decide if they were worth going into. | |
| Recommend a DAC based on Analog Devices? I found out that Abbas Audio sells a new DAC with the Analog Devices chip. He said he used to dislike it, but finally found a way to make it sound nice and non-fatiguing. It’s not expensive, but the reviews of his gear seem mixed. Not sure why, t... | |
| Sun Valley vs Sun Audio 300b @wgs57 thanks for the info:) | |
| Upgraded Power Supply for Eero 6E Router I upgraded my cable modem to a good LPSU and the results were very noticeable. Don't think theres any good option to upgrade power for a USB-C device. | |
| Any Experience with Furutech Unfiltered Power Distributors I think they're great value for the money. I don't use the rhodium products - the immediate impression is always "oh WOW" but over time, the tone is not natural to me. I buy gold ones and use NCF boosters or clear line. I don't prefer the filtered... | |
| Furutech Lan 8 NCF I used it and it's awesome. Like all Furu products, you need 300-400hrs burn-in due to their alpha cryo process. | |
| Is It Worh Modding An Amp @treepmeyer Ugh. I sent something to Ric once and he sent me back garbage. Horrible soldering, bad attitude and bad treatment of my materials. Avoid this turkey and learn to DIY. | |
| Is there a clear definition of what "Integrated" means? @whart Well this touches on why I am asking. If I look up most tube amp designs, PP, SE, and a variety of power tubes, the designs usually include the input stage: There is some twin triode doing some initial amplification usually, and discussions... | |
| Is there a clear definition of what "Integrated" means? @soix but what constitutes the "pre-amp"? Any kind of driver or input stage that increases the signal before the output amplification? And a variable resistor which modulates the grid of the input stage ie volume control pot. ? | |
| Why are high efficiency speakers preferred for low volume listening? Sensitivity is a measurement of steady noise or tones and seeing how loud it is at 1 meter away. Has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of sound. But higher sensitivity speakers are often made with quality audio in mind, and low sensitivi... | |
