| Is there somewhere I can check vinyl sound quality? There’s a new vinyl quality review website. It’s still in the early stages of building a database of titles, but the site is 100 percent dedicated to promoting and calling out vinyl based upon pressing and recording quality.http://www.vinylreviews... | |

| USB printer cable VS USB audiophile grade cable? Al,Excellent post! There certainly is *not* a direct correlation between price and performance and I also concur that USB cables may not produce the same results from system to system. That said, there are a few well-designed USB cables out there ... | |
| USB printer cable VS USB audiophile grade cable? When it comes to playing back digital music files, everything matters. If you have a system resolving enough to re-create the natural micro-details that convey musicality, you will easily hear the difference between standard USB data cables and we... | |
| power cords fo monoblocks You might try Shunyata's King Cobra CX or Anaconda Zitron...they should be close to your budget used. | |
| power cords fo monoblocks What have you tried? What did you like and what didn't work with past components? What is your budget? | |
| Help me spend my money FWIW,No one can know what room treatments will work in your room who isn't standing in it when they are installed. ;-)I don't want to be a gossip, but I keep hearing people all over the various forums say they prefer a number of other USB cables o... | |
| Should I upgrade power cord for my preamp? I have yet to hear a preamp whose performance was not improved by a good aftermarket power cord. The very best value in my experience is the Shunyata Venom line. You can find them used for as little as $100 and they outperform many far more expens... | |
| The Conrad Johnson Premier 350: Revisited Podeschi,You prefer the 350 over the H300? I was wondering about that brand, having never heard it. The raves about the H30 had made me consider an audition. | |
| Which High Res releases are worth buying? Goose,I completely agree and share your incredulity with respect to the price of downloads. I only download sure bets as a result. We seem to be stuck in this tug of war between people who think music is free (ridiculous and greedy) and music dist... | |
| Which High Res releases are worth buying? I wish it could sustain a pulse, but that's up to Audiogon members. ;-)I have recently discovered the following downloads which I think are better than Red book: Chet Baker's "Baker's Holiday" 24/192, Norah Jones' "Feels like Home" 24/192 and Joni... | |
| PS Audio PWD MkII vs W4S DAC2 Cymbop,It *is* amazing how good Pandora sounds via Native X on a Squeezebox Touch. The MOG 320 is also great. I fool friends all the time who think it's a cd and ask to see the liner notes.One caution: make sure your setting is always on Native X.... | |
| PS Audio PWD MkII vs W4S DAC2 Cymbob,There will be a little roller coaster ride during break in, but if you're this happy right out of the box, you are gonna be over the moon after 300 hours. Keep it on and in operation for best results. Once it's broken in, go for a Shunyata ... | |
| Thiel 2.7 VS 3.7??? Telescope_trade,Nothing works like an in-home audition. I'll be eager to hear what the JL does for you. I have more than enough bass with my 3.7's but a properly integrated sub can certainly bring an "effortlessness" to a system and definitely doe... | |
| Thiel 2.7 VS 3.7??? I have not heard the 2.7's but I own the 3. 7's. IMHO, the only sub to consider with the Thiels is a Thiel smart sub. They are built to match your speaker. There's simply *no* way to know, without experimentation in your room, whether a sub would ... |
