| Focal Kanta No.2 Why is it that we can’t just make our choices, enjoy what we have and be happy for each other? We are a truly troubled species.If the game is lost then we're all the sameNo one left to place or take the blame. | |
| Focal Kanta No.2 We all hear different and that is what makes this hobby so much fun. Right. And lets not forget that there are those on the forum with supernatural hearing; able to distinguish when an ordinary speaker wires cable direction (not polarity) is swit... | |
| Focal Kanta No.2 The thing is that all that "real good bass" is overblown. Overblown bass is what people like in home theater speakers. I disagree, but I respect your opinion. I’ve found the bass to have the right "weight" to it. IMO, the crossover integration fro... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses I've tried three different brands and they all had their own sonic signature and each brand sounded better in one direction over the other.Just curious if you were able to detect a sonic difference between brands an/or changing their direction via... | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions Thank you @david_ten It's a glowing review. I find his comment "I have listened to $50,000 DACs that I can’t say sound better" perhaps an exaggeration, but if this is his honest opinion then that's okay too :)Not specific to the review, I do like ... | |
| An experiment worked; how to proceed? A lot will depend on your budget and how "permanent" of a modification your willing to accept. Personally, I use a relatively inexpensive and non-permanent option of acoustic foam panels and foam bass traps.And if I’m not mistaken, the info you re... | |
| One of the best HDMI cable? ...one of their newer HDMI cables controlled for directionality...Have you tried one direction or the other to see/hear for differences? If so, please report back your findings. Thanks. | |
| Delta Sigma DACs Then why do R2R DACs sound better than Delta Sigma?In fairness, better or worse sounding is somewhat subjective and at the discretion of the ear of the listener. That said, and based on the relatively few delta-sigma and multibit DACs I’ve heard, ... | |
| How to "mount" acoustic foam ? I strongly suggest Velcro strips if you are mounting light weight foam. Since moving the pieces around to get best result will probably occur, you can’t beat them for semi permanence. Agreed, wherever possible. Velcro may not be strong enough for ... | |
| Oppo Vs Esoteric Oppo vs Esoteric ... I mean, it’s just not a fair fight. Presumably, there are many who would agree. And again presumably, it's for this reason (or at least one reason) that Oppo owners seek to "modify" the stock unit. But they are two different ... | |
| DENAFRIPS Terminator and Schiit Yggdrasil Evaluation and Comparison Hi David. Terrific review. And thank you!Question. You mention "....with respect to the Yggdrasil. One very surprising aspect was a light haziness or grayness that I had not picked up nor realized prior to having the Terminator in system."For clar... | |
| Oppo Vs Esoteric Hi @atacgene Thanks for your clarification.Even an upgraded LPM wouldn’t necessarily have a noticeable effect on video. I’ve read from users who have purchased their own do-it-yourself modification, and have never read back that there was any vide... | |
| DAC recommendations for CDs in 2-channel system Down the road, your upgrade chain would be to perhaps use the Oppo as transport only, and hook up to a dedicated Schiit DAC and/or use reclocking devices to clean up the signal as Steve has suggested. +1That is precisely what I’m doing, albeit min... | |
| Decibel question Am I missing something not being able to listen to 100 plus? Only you can answer that question. But as you've stated at one point your ears were hurting, regardless of whatever you may be missing, your first priority (IMO) becomes protecting yo... | |
| DAC recommendations for CDs in 2-channel system Why not move up the Schiit line of DAC products? |
