| Audio Cables: All the Same? @alexopth1512 Great post: I noticed that he had the cables on special stands with spikes and I new that these were expensive, I had seen them on the vendor and I believed this was crap. So I told him, everything ok etc but these stands, come o... | |
| Retirement integrated amp for a “fiscal conservative” @ezstreams Thank you- actually the system has changed so much this year -the amp I am using right now isn’t even listed in my virtual system yet. It has been a while since I tested tube rollin’ in the EVO400 myself, so no worries, I needed a go... | |
| Audio Cables: All the Same? @gbmcleod Totally agree with what you are saying, but you have to give more credit to more of the non-acoustic recordings for having the ability to discern sonic differences between cables (and gear). I agree it may be easier to hear differences... | |
| Retirement integrated amp for a “fiscal conservative” @ezstreams Congratulations on your retirement, welcome to the club. It is off golf season for me currently, so I am listening to my system about 12 hours a day, some critically, some background as I browse forums and sometimes post, like now, but ... | |
| Streaming Leads to Brain Rot It was worth reading, I am definitely not like the "average" impressionistic streamer the article is pointing toward, as I sit here and stream to Genesis- A trick of the Tail in its entirety in the background. I think 99% here on AG are the same. ... | |
| HiFi Rose RS150B vs. Eversolo DMP-A10 @josephp732 Just watched this Gustard X30 review, and he has the same Accuphase you have Man, many people are loving this latest Gustard- this X30 is a render/has a Roon endpoint- download Jplay and stream Qobuz/Tidal and you might be happy? H... | |
| HiFi Rose RS150B vs. Eversolo DMP-A10 Ever since owning a Linn CD player I have been one with their philosophy of "source first- garbage in = garbage out" It is not clear if you fixed at that price point: With that principle if sound quality is a top concern you should be matching y... | |
| Need Opinions for Different Cable Manufacturers/Cable Designs What did @kinarow1 end up doing, by the way? | |
| what dacs are fast, lively, energetic? I never thought I would suggest looking at Topping, but here is a good review of the new Topping d90 III discrete - , discrete meaning it is not like their other DAC’s, it is not a R2R it is a single bit DAC. Sandu, great reviewer, talks about ex... | |
| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? I’d love to have a 100 song Jazz playlist. So what’ch got for me? You got your 100 songs yet? If you already have that many jazz cd’s, one of them must be Dave Brubeck- Time out. You’re right- it ended up being a great thread- there are plent... | |
| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? It's been mentioned several times, worth a mention again- must be at the top of the list for "jazz for the beginners" due to the rigid timing structure and sax melody Take Five- Brubeck You must be familiar with it already @fthompson251 ? What... | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? I don’t dislike Mcintosh, but I did own a Mcintosh pre and a set of power amps years ago and moved on. Notice my handle on here starts with "mc". I will add that I brought my $2000 Apollon class D amp to this fellows house, and we plugged it in p... | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? @efoo After visiting a fellow audiophile a while back and doing some cable swapping in his system containing a brand new Mcintosh pre/amp combo, I would say if someone was wanting to discern differences between cables or other upstream component... | |
| Audience FrontRow USB - I’m puzzled I'm jealous of you guys with access to the cable company. | |
| Audience FrontRow USB - I’m puzzled Meantime I’m researching alternatives just in case. I know Christiaan Punter is a big fan of Mad Scientist stuff. Have you checked out his USB reviews? - 30 day trial if you don't mind shipping to/from down under. Mad Scientist |
