| Another new DAC: Audio Mirror I saw that thread became active again, so let me post an update. I built the Audio Note Kits DAC 5.1. I went nuts and put Duelund tinned copper caps, Vishay Z-foil resistors, expensive silver wire, silver WBT connectors, etc. etc. The list goes o... | |
| Who Here Makes Their Own Power Cables? @grannyring I bought some of that wire to try for power cords when it was released and forgot about it. You just reminded me of it. I'll give it a try. How many twists do you do (i.e. how many per inch or per foot)? Is it just slightly twisted, or... | |

| Another new DAC: Audio Mirror I was a proud owner of a Denafrips Terminator DAC, which was significantly better than any other DAC I’ve had in my system before. A friend of mine who has an entire Audio Mirror system including their big horn speakers showed up at my door with t... | |
| Budget Audience Clone? Some people like the Duelund DCA16GA or DCA12GA as speaker wire. You can get it from partsconnexion for $10 per meter. It would cost you $80 for 6 feet DCA16GA. There are a lot of reviews online if you google it. For the price, it is worth a try... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters Well, I agree with a lot of things said here, even with some of the high-level philosophy of the One and Only God of Audio (OOGA). But a quick fact check showed that the word of the OOGA is to be trusted less than the word of a car salesman. Nothi... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters I just happened to run across this thread on December 31st, 2017. I spent almost an hour reading most of the comments, especially those from the Holy One of Bo. I don’t know why I read most of the 70 posts from Bo1972 as he kept saying the same th... | |
| Zu def 4 are they the best speaker made? I think I saw Zu speakers at an audio show only once. They kept me less than 30 seconds in the room. Don't remember the model or any details, just the brand.Also, I remember reading this comment about some Zu speakers (yes, it was for a cheaper mo... | |
| Are there any $1500 tube preamps that that can compare with Tubes4hifi's SP14? I haven't heard any $1500 tube preamp that can compare with a "tweaked" Tubes4hifi's SP14. By "tweaked" I mean put some better parts in it - Duelund/Jupiter/V-Cap output caps, good quality resistors in the signal path, better components for the PS... | |
| Why are Harbeth speakers expensive while its drivers are not. Selling high-end speakers is a difficult business. It's normal for the consumer to pay a lot more than the raw cost of the parts used. As other people have commented above, there are many good reasons for that... You pay for the end product, which... | |
| Anyone own or heard of PrimaLuna? I own Audio Mirror mono blocks and took a Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP to audition at home last year. It was a demo unit with enough hours so did not need extra break-in time. It was not bad, but it could not compare to the Audio Mirror. Not even... |
