| BEST CD TRANSPORT This is a very good thread. Lots of very good information on CD transports, without any of the usual snarky (a $16 eBay DVD player is just as good) comments from certain forum participants. If someone is interested on a CD transport (digital o... | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? cleeds 5,094 posts 06-14-2023 at 10:57am tokushi Specialized speaker cables often incorporate shielding to protect the audio signal from external electromagnetic interference. I've been at this a long time and have never seen a shielded... | |
| Sweet Sounding DAC @mdrone : based on your budget, and on how you describe the sound you would like for your new DAC, I would recommend you put the following in your research list: 1) Denafrips DACs (such as Terminator+) 2) Holo Audio (such as May or Spring II) 3... | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" You measurementsmorons can’t help it, can you? | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" @lalitk : 😂🤷♂️. It is what it is. Fuse rails inside would be fine (and untouched) if there was one main power fuse at AC input. Which there is none for Esoteric N-01XD. Having said this, the utility of the Swiss Fuse Box is simple: if one is, or ... | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" @thecarpathian : if you have an equipment with no "MAIN" fuse (the power fuse that Mark mentioned above I believe), then I don’t think you can do this. For example, I inquired with Esoteric for my DAC (the N-01XD), and I was told this: ----------... | |
| IsoAcoustics Gaia Footers AND Townshend Seismic Podiums IsoAcoustics Gaia footers ON TOP of Townshend podiums Hmmmmmm….. Never thought about this. Truly “outside the box” thinking. I have a very positive experience with IsoAcoustics GAIA in my three most recent pairs of speakers, including current s... | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" I can answer that as I just ordered two (one each): Solid Brass with the “Gold Immersion”, whatever that is, and silver. Cost for each is very reasonable, peanuts in the grand scheme of things. We’ll see… I have to say, Mark is a true gentlem... | |
| Triode Wire Labs or NRG Custom The Five for my 300b SET tube amp? I second @soix recommendation on Lavricable PCs. Also, put Zavfino, a Canadian company, in your research list: https://zavfinousa.com/collections/power-cables | |
| Triode Wire Labs or NRG Custom The Five for my 300b SET tube amp? Almost $10,000 for a bike?? Meaning bicycle with no engine? You must be insane! Something from Walmart at a fraction of the cost brings you fine from A to B…. Just kidding. As long as you blind tested the $10,000 bike vs. the $169 bike and ... | |
| Ethernet Switch- what's the point? I thought so. Thanks. Carry on | |
| Ethernet Switch- what's the point? Jeff / Earl: my apologies. Not sure who controls the Audiogon posting today, but I thought I’d apologize. You and I are in the same “camp” most of the time (other than The Orange related stuff). But you keep attacking me for some unexplained unexp... | |
| Ethernet Switch- what's the point? @lalitk : except someone here (like Freddy) will accuse you of pushing expensive stuff to innocent people 😂😂. I totally agree. I have tried many switches, although not yours, and by far, the Muon PRO beats them all hands down. And it’s very co... | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? @nonoise : +1. Spot on, and, very funny! | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? Just try it. Decide for yourself. This unfortunately has nothing to do with trying. These folks never try anything, they just steer the pot in audio forums. That’s all they do, their reason for being. Feeling appropriate. See the post above min... |
