| Kef Blade to Blade meta? Haven't heard the Blades but when it comes to the little LS50 compared to the newer LS50 Meta... I felt like the Meta was just a bit different, not really any better or worse. Not sure how that translates to the Blade though. I like the idea post... | |
| Are the Anthony Gallo Reference 3.5 still up to it? I know someone who still rocks the Gallo 3.5 after all these years. He has switched up every other component probably 5-10 times over the years. All of it is wildly more expensive by now. But the Gallo 3.5 speakers stay anchored in the system, I d... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found @denon1 So far I've got about 50 hours on my Argentum R but I do hear notable improvement compared to right out of the box. And most of that improvement actually does seem related to midrange being more palpable. Also I hear a more open sound, not... | |
| Marantz SA-10 Vs Esoteric K-05Xs Haven't tried these exact players. But my experience with Marantz SA-series players had them sounding a little warm, sort of on the musical side, not dull but just a little toned down on the top end. Esoteric seemed much more lit up which is eithe... | |
| Problems with lost Qobus Playlists? Qobuz is my favorite for sound quality. But I don't love their interface or some of the quirks. I don't really make many playlists so haven't had this exact problem. But I've experienced other odd behavior on both a PC and on the phone app. Like ... | |
| Favorite mid-tier streamer Another vote for Eversolo. I thought it would be a compromise with all those features I didn't need or wouldn't use. After trying an A6 and later an A8 as transport only, I am sold on the brand. Even if I don't use most of the features. Innuos i... | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil DAC, why did they change it ? I still love my old OG Yggy. I also love the idea that I can swap and upgrade parts if I want. Or if they break. Right now the system it lives in is so dialed that I don't want to upset anything. So I leave it alone. Can't say I haven't been tempt... | |
| My Comments on the Infigo Audio IS-1 Signature Streamer Thank you for the post! Hans had told me quite a while ago they were working on a streamer. He was mainly responsible for the Resonessence Labs Fluvius streamer which is one of the best devices I have ever heard. That company folded a while ago bu... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found @bugredmachine I will wait patiently for your thoughts. Between you and @lak that is a lot of experience and I've agreed with many of your posts about all sorts of gear in the past. I'm already sold on Veritas by now but interested to hear your ta... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found @samureyex I think that has to do with the way search engines like google index things. There is an art and science to SEO or Search Engine Optimization and fancy websites spend a lot of time and money on that. Meanwhile some of my favorite smalle... | |
| Where to purchase cables? I agree with @lak who posted above about Veritas Cables. I started with one set of their Magnus XLR cables and love it so much that I just ordered a set of their higher end Argentum R silver RCA cables. I'm also considering power cables and maybe ... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found I just placed an order for a set of Argentum R unbalanced interconnects, which are finally available. I was informed that they’ll ship out tomorrow. At $450, they look fantastic and feel like a great deal, but we’ll see how they perform. I’ve been... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found @lak Definitely understand, it is confusing. I've already suggested/complained to Veritas via email that they need to get their website figured out. Then again if they are focused on building our orders I'm not sure I want them diverting attention... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found Thank you, a comparison with Lavricables would be very welcome. I used one of their cables for my Audeze headphones for a while, it was great. Later upgraded to a nicer Norne Audio cable but would still recommend Lavricables for headphones. I did... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found @lak thank you for that update! Sounds like they aren't just blowing smoke about targeting more expensive cables as competition. I can see how an internet direct brand with low overhead could really maximize value compared to the big guys who have... |
