| Who says cables don't make a difference? TI still produces the NE 5532. Good measuring op-amp. | |
| Anthem STR or Naim Uniti Nova for Paradigm Persona 3F? The DAC is the same in the STR integrated and preamp. I know they use an AKM chip, I think the biggest difference between the integrated and separates is twice the power and the cost of more boxes and parts. I have the STR integrated and use the o... | |
| How to select a good Speaker Cable Sorry Mr. b4icu but try again. Large guage cables have inductance problems. Normal sized cables between 10awg and 16awg are sufficient in most all cases. DF isn't that big a deal. Quit shilling nonsense.https://benchmarkmedia.com/blogs/application... | |
| Solid states more accurate than tubes? Probably the most accurate amp you can get is the Benchmark AHB2. They would work with your speakers. | |

| Who says cables don't make a difference? The white papers referenced by kennyc about the iconoclast speaker cables is written on Belden Stationary. Did they pay Iconoclast?Here's a link to Canare "marketing". http://www.canare.com/ProductItemDisplay.aspx?productItemID=65 | |
| Solid states more accurate than tubes? Depends on the tube amp some have very good measurements very linear and some SS amps measure pretty bad. That said it seems most people who like tubes do like the coloration tubes offer. There is no right or wrong but if accurate and neutral are ... | |
| Stereophile complains it's readers are too informed. There's an example in the same issue provided in the link. This months speaker review of the Volti Razz which JA measurements show it kind of sucks but the subjective review says it's a fairly nice sounding speaker with tube amps. The speaker buil... | |
| Can anything be down about this? There must be an agenda! 100% dynamic compression can be removed from digital audio without the use of denoisers or declippers using the iir filter in foobar2000I don't think so, once a track has been compressed the only way to "undo" it is by having the original tapes. Y... | |
| Commercial streamer (bricasti m5 spotlighted) vs Raspberry Pi 4 implementation. Some use nano pi, some raspberry pi. I use a raspberry pi4 as a Roon bridge to my DAC through USB. I don't see the hardware making much of a difference in a streamer if their software implementation is proprietary it might affect the sound. I don'... | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? Why do you assume cable skeptics don't read the white papers a few of these companies put out? Go online and look at Canare 4s11 star quad wire the varience in numbers between them and iconoclast isn't enough to worry about. | |

| Everything Matters With Digital Who decides which half is inferior/mediocre? This in no way disparages the rich audiophile who is impressed with his mediocre jewelry. | |
| Everything Matters With Digital That's what's so hilarious about worrying over freaking cables and switches the signal is no better than what your $100 modem gives you. If you want to know if wires and switches etc.. make a tinker's damn measure the analog out on your DAC or the... | |
| Everything Matters With Digital The QAM is sent in an analog carrier wave which is where your MOdualteDEModulate comes in. Yes my ISP is sending me an analog signal which my Modem will modulate to digital that can be read by my network. Yours might be different if you don't use... |
