| Power cord Have you auditioned both and arrived at these two brands as your final choice? Of the two at your price point I would choose AQ. If you have not auditioned, add WyWires Platinum. I preferred them over similarly priced AQ. Very neutral, spacious... | |
| Looking for more advice on purchasing a new turntable. Sorry hit send by accident. With Dynavector cartridge for $3.6 k. | |
| Looking for more advice on purchasing a new turntable. I find modern digital streaming and server files equal too or better than vinyl, without the required ritual of removing from storage and cleaning vinyl prior to playing to achieve good SQ and preserve the record. In addition, attention to setup ... | |
| 30 yr old speakers- time to replace drivers? Degradation in SQ with rubber surrounds is brand and design dependent. I do not know your speaker. In a vacation home in Vermont I have a vintage system used for background music, with 1981 DCM TimeWindows, with rubber surrounds. It has been pub... | |
| Retirement System Finally Completed: Impression of the Mola Mola Tambaqui @ghdprentice and @smodking1 I have an additional perspective but heartily agree with you. In addition, as partners we challenge all significant spends we make, and reach agreement. I believe joint decision making in this regard critical I cons... | |
| Retirement System Finally Completed: Impression of the Mola Mola Tambaqui +1 @mitch2 @fastfreight I run the Conductor app. I did not do head to head comparisons of the Grimm with my Aurender N200. I did hear it running my old Wyred and the Tambaqui when I did that head to head comparison, but unless I conduct a co... | |
| Retirement System Finally Completed: Impression of the Mola Mola Tambaqui @audiotroy From what depths of the shorting synapses in your brain did the bashing of @ghdprentice and his preference for the state of the art Aurender he loves come into this thread. Nowhere did I or GHD mention Aurender. A resounding +1for @... | |
| Right speaker intermittent The process is stated by others above, perhaps not completely. Let me attempt to summarize: 1: Switch speaker cables. If it happens to left speaker and not the right (problem reversed) the problem is upstream of the speakers If the problem d... | |
| any ideas? Subwoofers put lots of mechanical stress on the cabinet and internal component. Over time mechanically connected (screwed, bolted or riveted) components may loosen. Bonded components (soldered, adhesive, or solvent bonded) may crack from physical... | |
| Retirement System Finally Completed: Impression of the Mola Mola Tambaqui @audphile1 No, I did not rob the store. It was yet to establish its reputation. I was there at the right time. Within a year after my purchase it was $1k/bottle. Now I see it from $1.5k to 2.2k per bottle. Four Roses Single Barrel is also on... | |
| Retirement System Finally Completed: Impression of the Mola Mola Tambaqui S@ghdprentice Thank you for your insights on retirement. I will definitely look into “The Great Courses”. My wife is looking to retire mid-25 and we plan on traveling the US and EU. @mitch2 Thanks and I will continue on this sight to learn... | |
| Retirement System Finally Completed: Impression of the Mola Mola Tambaqui @ghdprentice I have been retired for a year. Now contemplating some part time consulting to keep the mind active. Thank you for your posts. You have been one of my audiophile mentors. @roxy54 I sit in the floral, high back, Early American cha... | |
| How easily can you distinguish between different DACs? Developing critical listening to discern differences in equipment takes time. It requires a person to listen to performed music, both acoustic and amplified, in different venues, and print their memory of their impression of sound. Yes, some wil... | |
| The Great DAC Mystery Long post. You appear find satisfaction and frustration in contemplating, philosophizing, and pontificating on audio engineering problems and solutions way beyond my level of comprehension. My recommendation is to relax using whatever meditative... | |
| Holographic DAC With Air And Decay @fanofmsu Yes I use the ISO and DC Recovery. They elevate the performance notably with a blacker background, better detail retrieval and imaging/staging. Replacing the Wyred supplied USB and wall wart LPS with higher quality products is mandator... |
