Thanks. This forum seems like a good place to discuss audio. So back to topic. How the heck could Accuphase biggest class A integrated e800 perfom so bad in his system, to be called the worst ever? Is he biased against the brand? Actually I...

I get my second show on the 17th, and I'm still not sure about getting on a plane. Ya got these people at the airport ( ohare) and then the same people on the plane. Something is not making any sense.LOL

Thanks all for chiming in. I did hear good things about MIT cables but I don't think they're well represented in France. I checked the importer and he doesn't even list them on his site. They also don't come cheap! I'm waiting to hear back...

MIT - EVO One (Minimum ) or if your budget is higher. 2C3D Level 2 or 1 Where to Buy - International - MIT Cables - Music Interface Technologies

For long term stratification and system synergy. It might be best to stick with an AQ cable if you stay with the Niagara. Shunyata PC if you go for a Shunyata distributor.

GSOphile, I am plugging the Shunyata into the wall and then into the Niagara 7000. I must say thus far I am not impressed. I am getting sort of a soft squishy sound. In other words the dynamic bite is not there. ozzy

Well, I went back and listened to the Trinity Revisited yesterday. I was pleasantly surprised that I liked it as much as I did. That would be with the exception of Sweet Jane, that unfortunately was one of my favorite tracks from the original. I...

Congrats and happy listening!

I’m really hoping to attend a few shows this year, but I’m not stepping foot on a plane without “the jab”. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I wear a mask when I have too, it really bugs me for a long time. Not adeal breaker though if we get a group together to go. It's just too early to say one way or the other. I will say, I barely go anywhere and when I do I mask up, I still...

I think we all have a similar experience or at least learn what to listen for. Not to open a can of worms but this is what bothers me with DBT and those who claim not to hear differences in cables and such, if they even bother to try. Way back...

Congratulations with your new system which i am sure will be very good.

Welcome to the Forum.

I have that one too. It’s just one side. This test pressing is great because it’s the whole album and Classic Records to boot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Amazing recording that seems to bring Satchmo back to life! Jeff Joseph (of Joseph Audio) used to demo a 45RPM pressing of "St. James Infirmary" at shows to stunned attendees!

Bobby Scott and his Trio "For Sentimental Reasons" almost smokey deep voice. Great jazz singer and piano player. Just mix your favorite martini, close your eyes and enjoy the entire CD. I always feel like I am in a small urban jazz club. Have a...

You need a box for each TV but only one account.

Thanks guys. We currently use a Roku Ultra for some programing. As for the remote we are using an RTI unit that combined all of our remotes into one for my wife. Unfortunately it is kind of like using the Mars rover for site seeing in your yard. I...

Good points! Shunyata uses vibration damping on the covers of the Denali. My experience with adding damping on equipment covers results in sweeter highs and an overall sense of smoothness to the sound. The reviews of the Denali reference these...

I started out with AQ (Speaker +Interconnect) moved up through the brand over time. Eventually landing on Oak (Speaker) + Earth (Interconnects) Full loom. I'm not a fan of mixing and matching brands (Speaker and Interconnect) The DBS...

Thank you for posting this. SGC makes some great gear.

Most media players allow you to apply ReplayGain: ReplayGain - Wikipedia If you make random playlist, use track gain. As Nicoff pointed out, it is digital volume control. This won't do any harm.

Just wanted to share a little video with you all!

Love my mfsl Dire Straits CD collection, The latest versions sound really good :celebrate008_2:

I love Tidal. I access it via Roon, so no problems with their app.

Mike Lou just announced the dates for the show at the end of July so it is still on.

My cable journey over the past few years started with Cardas ending with their Clear IC and Speaker cable. Used that on a system with McIntosh MC601’s and Martin Logan Ethos and loved the synergy. As I upgraded components and went with the new Mark...

Seeing you are in Europe. Ocellia Reference RCA Interconnects, Speaker & Power Cables. Otherwise Siltech or Jorma would be my choice for your excellent system. I'd leave the others you mention. Bruce

there is a regional show being discussed in the Seattle area (drawing from Portland-Seattle-Vancouver B.C.) for August this year. i've not heard anything now for about 3 months, so it may be off the table. very active audiophile activity in this...

Funny, I actually used a pair of single strand Dueland cables in my system for about one to two weeks. And then put my Cardas Clear Cygnus back into the system. Dueland gives you clarity, dynamics and is musical. But, going back to the Cardas the...

He is in Europe... No cable company possibility🧐

The Cable Company has a loaner program, I would take advantage of it. Congrats and good luck!

I don’t have that quality of gear bryston instead. However I do have Siltech 550 across the board and the SPX-800 across all my gear. I went to the top with cardas, across the board upper wireworld, audioquest and nothing and I mean nothing sounds...
