| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses @douglas_schroeder We might also see a wide variance in total system cost as regards fuses. I would not be surprised to see systems in the $15K+ category using aftermarket fuses, while those in the $2-10K category would not. FYI, system is about... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses 1. Overpriced - B2. Yes; SR, Isoclean, HiFiTuning, Furutech, AMR3. Turning them around makes no discernible difference | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? "This is why those who oppose such things as superior cables almost always lack first hand experience with them because they can't afford them and no dealer will loan them a set because the dealer knows they are not a customer and cannot afford ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD To augment my comment below about nothing jumping out as a "clear winner" with regards to renderers/endpoints, it seems the dCS Network Bridge would certainly be one to try. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hello Steve,Where can I learn more about your Interchange Ethernet renderer you keep mentioning here? After they finish the Gen3 upgrade to my Antipodes DX I plan to try using it as a server on my network with Roon. I will need a renderer to a... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? How convenient, and original, claim an aberration and "safely" throw out the offending fact. Did you learn that in your Multivariate Analytical Statistics and Data Visualization class where higher level students basically claim a deep understan... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Geoff, I did indeed try reversing a fuse and the most noticeable difference was the 15 minutes of my life I will never get back. I have now vowed to only try stupid audiophile parlor tricks at midnight during the fall switch from daylight savings... | |
| Asking for Help with Digital Solution @astewart8944 , I plan to have the Gen3 upgrade performed, regardless of whether I try another device and I am ok with the USB-only output of the DX Gen3 since I tried the SPDIF out and determined the USB out actually sounds best with my DAC. ... | |
| Asking for Help with Digital Solution I am ok using roon and would have done so already but Squeezelite has sounded good on my DX and requires less processing. Assuming I go through with the Gen3 upgrade for my DX, it should be better able to process roon and that is an option. OTOH, ... | |
| Duelund DCA16GA Just finished making a pair of bi-wire speaker cables from the Duelund 12ga wire. I have a cross-connected star quad going to the LF and HF of each speaker (8 wires per speaker or 6 awg per pole). Getting the four 12ga wires attached to a singl... | |
| Antipodes DX or Aurender N10? Check out their website. They are up to DX3 now, which is their one-box solution but they also have some new options in their highest-level "X" line, being the CX and EX. You need to read closely but there are distinct advantages related to each ... | |
| Timbernation Platform Problems Timbernation has long history of disgruntled customers. That may or may not be true Geoff but are you sure he didn't go through a rough patch and then turn things around? Either way, he doesn't need you to throw out a "blanket statement" that h... | |
| Timbernation Platform Problems Update. I received an email from Chris offering to do whatever I wanted to address the situation. I was happy with the response and I appreciate the customer service. I am now a happy customer. Glad things worked out for you. This is about expec... | |
| I think I've Just Seen Absolute Proof That Audiophiles Are Insanely Gullible Check out the ULTRA internal speaker wiring upgrade from Von Schweikert. Thanks for the tip Geoff....not sure that I would spring for the wire but I sure would hire the marketing department.... "the most significant acoustical advancement in signa... | |
| Lampizator evolution Digital source components (servers, dacs, etc.) have been on a steep performance improvement trajectory during the entire time period you mention. Not only have the Lampizator models changed/improved but so have many other DAC implementations and... |
