Not sure which Turbo your friend owned (2-3 years implies 991) but a base 991 Carrera was compared to an M4 by EVO. Link below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scXXhmknySA The M4 is a very nice car, but I'm certain it could not best a 991 Turbo. My two toys: Don't know why the last pic...

On the brighter side, the new stadium is fabulous!! Club seats for the win :). I don't feel so ripped off paying for the PSLs. At least we didn't lose ground to the She-hawks. Kap needs to play better.

Coincidentally, I was just fiddling with my dad's system and, while it has its limitations, I was taken by the vocals and tone. Ha! I'm not much help.

I've read that the S5s sound best without their grills in place but I'm really really digging the sound with them on right now. Did I just have too much to drink tonight? What has been your experience?

I made the mistake of asking for an audition of Synergistic Research's Galileo LE cables a few weeks ago. These are not the best pics but here they are in all their glory: In a nutshell, they are what the Synergistic Research "house" sound is (at least the Element CTS), but with more of...

So my NAS is making a bit too much noise of late. It's still fairly new but one of the fans (when it intermittently spins) is audible and getting louder. Any thoughts? Can I open it up and just tighten the screws down and/or replace the fan without screwing things up? Sorry for the NOOB...

I've been waiting for Chris C. to review this unit for some time now. It's finally here! Computer Audiophile - Aurender W20 Review

So MY S5s were finally installed Monday. Color is Pewter in the MCast finish. They sound so different than the demo pair I had been living with over the last couple of months. More air, more depth, tight taught textured bass but everything's just a tad less "musical." They sound HiFi. I've...

I'm looking for any and all recommendations for "great" DSD downloads. By "great," I mean audibly superior to its CD or HiRes PCM counterpart. Genre is unimportant as I just want to start getting my feet wet. And yeah, I know there is not a lot out there but, by way of example, I'd like to know...

Look what daddy's got :snicker:. I wanted to know how Solution paired with Magico and luck would have it that I have a few weeks to find out. The unit is broken in and sounds pretty good. There is a smoothness but certain sounds are much more forward than with my Pass gear. Bass is also less...

So I've got a Synology 1813+ en route with a bunch of drives (for my music and movie collection) and I'm looking for a good battery back-up for the unit. I don't want to spend a ton. Recommendations?

Thanks for the video link Allen. My reaction was the same a Peter's...bewilderment. All this talk made me count and I've got 8 empty boxes so there are 40 of them floating around my room. Ted even used a ladder to place one on my pendant light. Mike: Lol!!

A pair of fully broken in S5s landed Monday. First thing that struck me was the packaging...holy mackerel there are suspension bolts holding the speaker off of the crate's base! Another thing that became readily apparent is that there is no way I unpack and set these things up solo. Even with a...

Try these Paul. They're Herbie's Giant Spike Decoupler Glider(s). I bought them to try and tame the excessive bass resonance of my D3s. FWIW they didn't make a difference for me but I would imagine they would make sliding your speakers around much easier.

Just downloaded today. I'm digging it. The fact that I can now make out all of the lyrics is a bonus :).
