| Streamers rabbit hole "Eversolo just released their T8 dedicated streamer transport today." Or did they? There were a couple of announcements, but I don’t see any product for sale. Remind me, do we like Eversolo or not? | |
| Who is your favorite tube seller? I had been a tube based audiophile for over 40 years before switching to the Dark Side (Solid State) last year. For me, like many of you, the NOS guy was Brent Jessee. For new tubes, I bought Sophia Electric Blue Glass whenever applicable. Yes, m... | |
| My impressions of the much Hyped LAIV Harmony DAC (I ordered one and Listened to it.) @audiostick Hello, Thanks for referencing the I2S recommendation thread. By the time I'm done, I'll be needing two I2S cables. So in addition to the Furutech I already have, I just ordered .6M DH Labs HDMI 2.1 Silver. The retailer was very enthus... | |
| My impressions of the much Hyped LAIV Harmony DAC (I ordered one and Listened to it.) @audiostick Hello. I'm using a one meter length of HF-X-NCF by Furutech. I would have bought a shorter one if they'd made it. I chose it because every other cable in my system is Furutech and I trust them as a company and I like the "house sound.... | |
| My impressions of the much Hyped LAIV Harmony DAC (I ordered one and Listened to it.) I'm sympathetic with the frustration experienced by the OP. Rather than lay the blame on LAiV (or any other company,) I see it as the result of the current HiFi business model; few opportunities for brick and mortar auditions, so roll the dice. I... | |
| Furutech Flux50 NCF shoutout "I found, over the years, that Furutech accentuates the leading edge at the expense of the "body" of an instrument, giving a "cool-ish" flavor to the sound of components. Harmonic richness is not something that the Furutech endows its products wit... | |
| The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam? "I thought Randy's video was ridiculous and the comments worse. He's just playing to his crowd, stoking resentment, cynically trolling for clicks." - @kerrybh Bingo | |
| Furutech PC's? Given the variety of responses in this thread, it would seem that there is no substitute for trying the "device under test" in your own system. Formerly, my system was tube based and I was thrilled with my loom of Nordost cables. When I switche... | |
| Furutech 4.1 Series Cables - Outstanding Performance and Value I received the DAS-4.1 interconnect w/Furutech top of the line rca termination. More greatness! While this line of cables is by no means inexpensive, it embarrasses more expensive competitors. I now have the DSS-4.1 speaker cable on order. Pe... | |
| Furutech 4.1 Series Cables - Outstanding Performance and Value I'm in the process. I had switched from a tubed integrated to a solid state integrated and found my loom of silver plated copper cables to no longer be synergistic. After much research, I had a DPS 4.1 power cable built for me, with FI-50 NCF t... | |
| Graphene Sluggo - Unlocking Sonic Scenery @gladmo Thanks for keeping us up to date with your findings. I’ve been following your informative epic with great interest. I’ve had good luck with aftermarket fuses, but the SDFB clearly in another league. When I bought the SDFB, I went straigh... | |
| Looking for a new (preowned OK) line stage under $5K: suggestions? As evidenced by this thread, there are a great many choices. We may have reached the point where recommendations become overwhelming and therefore useless. At the risk of making things worse, I recommend either an ASR Basis Exclusive or a Zanden ... | |
| recommended speaker cables and interconnects It's inevitable that everyone will post about their favorite cables. I'm no different. I'm partial to Nordost products. All power cords, interconnects and speaker cables in my system are Nordost. I've been an audio hobbyist since the early '80s.... | |
| High Fidelity Cable replaces NPS 1260 Okay, where can I get this kool-aid? I'd like to drink some. (Metaphorically, of course.) I'd used Caig Pro-Gold. It's a decent cleaner. For a long time I used Stabilant 22, which I found to be much better. Now I'm using NPS-1260 which is ri... | |
| ATMA-SPHERE MA-1 MK11.3 with magnepans, am I completely mad?! I thought the issue was impedance. The Maggies dip pretty low and the Atma amps like to see higher. I did hear a rig that used Z Transformers (the anti-cables guy) between Atma-Sphere and Maggies and it sounded great. Best talk to Ralph. |
