| Speaker vibration control device Thanks for all the input. There are lots of beautiful, affordable things out there if one knows where to look. Decided to go with these:http://www.isoacoustics.com/products/gaia-series/gaia-ii/After digging a little deeper I see these will work wi... | |
| Beyond the sound of things, and into the soul of things. I'm a music lover who grew up listening to music from the 60's and 70's, many from a handheld transistor radio. My parents owned a radio that sat on top of our fridge that played mostly one AM station on Sunday mornings and a record player that wa... | |
| High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it. I had a Calyx Femto DAC (now sold) that had a phase option with "inverse." I never used it. It was an excellent DAC, but I sold it and bought my current DAC, T + A DAC 8 DSD. It has many options for PCM or DSD with multiple filters and settings. I... | |
| power cord Budget no more than $200 used. | |
| Computer power cord upgrade, is it worth it? Yes, all my music is stored on my computer as mostly FLAC (from CD rips and HDtracks downloads) mp3 (Amazon downloads) or WAV (from files converted from vinyl LP's using Audacity). I've got a WyWires Platinum USB cable from my computer to T + A DA... | |
| power cord Thanks lak, will do! Most everybody likes gummy worms, pops, lol. | |
| RCA vs Phono cable How does low capacitance effect sound quality? | |
| RCA vs Phono cable Thanks all, glad to hear the Synergistic Research cable will probably do well. Got the Graham Slee phono preamp this morning and hooked it up with an ancient Red/Black RCA cable and it sounds pretty good. Noticing a lot less snap, crackle and pop ... | |
| RCA vs Phono cable My turntable has a hardwired (L & R) cable with ground wire to attach to the Graham Slee’s input. But the "output" cable from the Graham Slee to the preamp is the one I’m asking about. So I'm assuming the "Synergistic Research RCA.interconnect... | |
| Balanced cables @ audiozen you said, "Back in 1998 I purchased a pair of Paradigm Active 20 speakers and a BAT Vk3 preamp. I decided to buy an pair an eight foot of MIT interconnects with the box on the cables. They retailed for $1000.00 and Audio Advisor was ... | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... If I understand correctly from the cable cooker "Learn More" site: "Playing an interconnect cable in an audio system for one week (168 hours) of continuous use would expose it to the following use value: 168 hours x 0.0002 amperes = CTV of 0.0336... | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... Totally amazing (and highly satisfying) realizing that your gear is so much better than when you first unboxed it. So I guess wherever there's a fuse it can be upgraded. Great to know. Though the thought of replacing 6 power amp inner fuses (3 alo... | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... Bought a Blue Fuse for Primare Pre32. At the end of about 200 hours settled down for some critical listening. Music had more meat on the bones. During burn in time some days things were "WOW" then the next day "What's the hype?" So don't throw in ... | |
| HeadAmp Blue Hawaii HP amp Thanks for the facts. I'm not interested in changing gear frequently (not enough capital for that) or having my eardrums busted. But my greatest concern is the bass. I've read it goes deep. Is the BHSE's bass anything like the Sennheiser HD 800 (D... | |
