| Affordable Processor with Fabulous 2 Channel ? Yes, I would like to know why you think USB is better than digital COAX for PCM audio. Obviously, USB is required for any DSD files, but I think the compromises made in the USB interface may get in the way somewhat when compared to COAX s/pdif wi... | |
| PS Audio Stellar Gain DAC/Pre-amp as first foray into separate pre-amp? Awsome. Sorry, but I don't know much about phono cables. I have done a lot of testing on general interconnects, hence my recommendations for the Wire World. You could try posting in the "Analog" forum to ask about DIN phono cables. | |
| Some Basic Center Channel speaker reccomendaitons Agreed. Those ADS 1090 have a rather unique looking midrange and tweeter. I can be close to impossible to find a matching center channel for this. You could try, but expect to have mismatched sonic signatures. You are likely better off starti... | |
| Building a $1200 RCA Interconnect Cable Pure copper is never used when you need a strong or high tension metal, such as the ground shield on an RCA cable that needs to grip the RCA socket tightly. It is just not strong/stiff enough. Furutech actually specifies the type of metal used ... | |
| Krell Duo 300 compared to Evo 302e or 402e? Heh, I gues beryllium is metal - I had to google it. Most metal dome tweeters are made from aluminum or titanium or maybe even magnesium. These all have rather low frequencies where they flex/resonate and breakup (such as somewhere between 20khz... | |
| Do people really just not get it that their items are not selling... Hey fleschler, didn't mean to step on any toes. I have been through tons of cable designs as well, and for me, I have found that silver can help in some situations, but it mostly becomes bright and artificial. Copper with rhodium plated termina... | |
| Review: Emotiva XDA-1 DA converter @gareneau - You might be talking about the XDA-2, which does have separate boards/modules. The XDA-1 is all on one board and the output stages are already fully discrete circuits (you can tweak them, but you can't replace them.-----The XDA-2 is a... | |
| Furutech FP-3TS762 or FP-TCS31 The TS20 is full OCC copper, but only 14awg, so for high current amp it could be a little bit current limiting.---The TS762 is standard Alpha (NOT OCC), but 10 awg biggest cable. The TCS31 is, apparently, their new Triple-Alpa process that I thin... | |
| Center Speaker matching Front Speakers Yeah, it's entirely possible that the receiver will not be able to correct for a 13db variation between center and left/right. Good catch. | |
| Do people really just not get it that their items are not selling... GroverHuffman - wow, a cable manufacturer that actually uses Furutech Rhodium connectors.....but then he lost me when I started reading about silver and silver-plated elements, lol. | |
| Krell Duo 300 compared to Evo 302e or 402e? Your Magico S5 have beryllium dome tweeters, which are NOT metal dome. They will be very high resolution, but will not have the harsh breakup of normal metal domes, so I wouldn’t worry about this. As I said, make sure all your cables have gold-pla... | |
| Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ??? Thanks for the youtube videos. I think the Primaluna has more attack, detail and sweetness. However, closer listening, the Line Magnetic does not have as much attack/detail and it dryer sounding in comparison, but it has a more natural and real... | |
| PS Audio Stellar Gain DAC/Pre-amp as first foray into separate pre-amp? Yeah, often you get what you pay for. You could try the Kimber TAK-CU for $265. I think that's the next nearest thing to solid-core. Audioquest has their Wildcat for $89 - it is solid core, but I don't know if it performs well for phono. lol. | |
| Center channel speaker recommendations Hi soix, sorry to keep disagreeing with you. ugh, sorry.--I heard the audioengine monitors at RMAF and actually was not impressed at all. They really sounded like low cost computer speakers and I think you could do so much better. This is nowhe... | |
| Home Theater Receiver recommendations for B&W 803S? so, did you end up getting the HTM1? |
