So a review of the new Sentinel DAC does not need to address the DAC or the way it sounds. Only the box it comes in, cable layout and what else? What if the reviewer said the DCS has more detail retrieval? Well, isn't that then a flaw in the Sentinal. What if he says the Sentinal has...

If a reviewer was to compare a product to another product. Wouldn't that in essence be admitting something's not perfect. How could it be the pinnacle or the very best If there is something about it, some other product might do a little better. Or even different. Comparing a product to...

I guess I am wondering, at what point do all these DAC sound the same. DCS, Wadax, MSB. Can't tell them apart. Or, do they have a house sound. If they do have a sound, does one or the other pair better with different equipment. Maybe a better way to say it would be, do they gel into a type...

Does MSB still sound like MSB? Or has the Sentinel changed the voicing.

I sold a amp. The buyer complained the amp was outputting very different voltage from the speakers jacks. I said no way. I had tested that myself. He is pushing for something. I don't know what. He sent it to the manufacturer and they said it was in fantastic condition and working fine...

I really wish some company would make a copper only version. Yea, it will oxidize. The gold ones are about $100 and I have heard they are good. It all comes down to what metals you are mixing. Rhodium and Gold will play together. Rhodium and Tin or Silver do not work well.

I am using a RM20. I love it. I just found out Torus will put as many of wharever model Furutech duplex you want in a RM model. I was going to put a GTX NCF in the first position. But CHATGPT has me convinced NCF does nothing. Its more about a good copper duplex with solid contact to...

I looked at my TT the other day. Its still in boxes. Then quickly forgot about it. Way to hard to set up. And no good place to put it. I need to finish the room before opening that can of worms. I do look forward to it.

The Blade tube amp on top and the Musical Fidelity A3cr on the woofers was decent. I am using the Dayton DSP408 to run the woofers and sub. I also tried a Audion 845 SET on top and the Blade on the woofers. No good. The 845 is too??????? Just not near the amplifiier as the Blade. And the...

I just bought 2. One for me and one for Christmas gift.

I signed up for a Plus plan of ChatGPT yesterday. I did a bunch of testing with GPT and Gemini and I prefer the way GPT interfaces and responds. Gemini is rough around the edges and refuses to answer many questions and obfuscates why it is refusing to answer. I tried a image makeup today...

I would not advocate for a separste server and streamer. I hadn't really thought of that as a path. I though all good servers had build in streaming?????? FWIW I know people that have the Taiko server with built in DAC and have ditched DAC that cost more than the Scion. My belief is you...

Glad you found a little boost in performance. I am a advocate of correct sub use myself. I was at the reviewers Mo's house listening to his Wilson V and he had the new Wilson subs. I asked he turn them off and on. What I noted was on, I was just enjoying the music when the subs were on...

I tried a Dayton DSP to manage the woofers on my PAP Trio 15 speakers. The 10 inch mid woofer and horn tweeter are through the passive stock crossover. I disconnected the 15 inch woofers and used the Dayton and a Musical Fidelity A3cr to power them. Currently, due to cables on hand, I have...

Thanks, that means a lot. I myself and very emotional and get caught up in the drama too much myself. I let my feeling come through in my writing all to often. I try every day to keep it clean. But I fall off the wagon at times. Sometimes the drama gets too close to home. I was bummed...
