| Best Headphone system under $1000??? Wow guys! I truly value all of your feedback! I’m definitely checking out all of the possibilities that are available on Massdrop. It seems like a great place for dipping my toe in the headfi pool. The Focal cans and the Sennheisers were two that ... | |
| Digital improvements possible? Thanks for all the input folks!Erik- someday I hope to run a good quality Ethernet line directly to my MacBook, though our modem is on first floor and my listening room is upstairs. Still, perhaps it would improve SQ over WiFi. Brotw- thanks for s... | |
| Have you had enough of Classic Rock? There’s too much good stuff out there to abandon any genre, especially if it holds sentimental value. Those of us who saw the Dead or Pink Floyd live or got into hijinx while listening to classic rock as kids know it’s a time capsule to some might... | |
| An audiophilic music lovers Christmas! I’m awaiting a Brimar 5r4gy rectifier tube for my preamp, on its way from England to Arizona. Hoping it brings even more magic to the midrange on my jazz albums. | |
| Digital improvements possible? Thanks for feedback so far, guys!Erik- I have Vandy 2ceSig 2s and have tried to discern a difference between battery and AC from the wall with my Mac. I have a dedicated power line and Porter Port outlets and can’t tell a difference. Thanks for in... | |
| Harmonic Tech AC10 vs Audiience PowerChord Thanks to each of you for your comments and suggestions. I saw an HT AC10 for sale new for around $260. I’m very tempted. I had a lot of silver wire for SCs and ICs and really enjoyed it, but the high purity copper of the Pro 9s has been a very pl... | |
| Anyone try Teo GC Jr interconnects yet? Thank you for the information and description @taras22 of the Jr. Now the delicate process of pitching my purchase to my wife! : ) | |
| Odyssey Stratos vs Parasound A23? Thank you Jl35 and stereo5. I'm embarassed I hadn't really heard of Odyssey before, and now I'm really intrigued! Truly appreciate both of your opinions. | |
| New dedicated line & outlets sound worse, not better- HELP! Hello again everyone!After roughly a month of burn-in time, my "nearly perfect" sound is back and I dare say a bit improved with the new dedicated line. Bass definitely has more slam and texture, background noise was quiet before, but is now compl... | |
| New dedicated line & outlets sound worse, not better- HELP! Thanks again for feedback fellas.I've used Porter Ports before and like their sound once broken in. I don't have the budget for the expensive outlets, and really doubt the extra coin is worth it.And FYI, Albert has his own website, "Porterhouse Au... | |
| New dedicated line & outlets sound worse, not better- HELP! I'm encouraged with responses. I did not burn in the Porter Ports prior to installation.I'm currently running fans on two of the outlets and I have kept the Parasound A23 on day and night. At this point it's probably just a matter of patience. I w... | |
| New dedicated line & outlets sound worse, not better- HELP! Thanks to everyone who chimed in. I suspected that everything needed much more time to burn in, but I guess I just needed some reassurance. Any recommendations on how to do burn in besides running my rig 24/7? I've heard running fans works plugge... | |
| Transferring files from PC formatted hard drive to Macbook Al and kijanki-I appreciate both of you for your help and advice. Yes, I think it will be pretty simple. I will post again if I have any issues! God bless and enjoy the music!Linc | |
| Preamp questions for new vinyl fan The consonance will match the Parasound halo a23 well, so I'm now looking at affordable phono pre options. Considering the zphono by parasound or possibly something by Pro-ject. Any suggestions? My system is:Gallo Strada speakersM&K subParasou... | |
