    Power amp choices

    Today I saw the barrier of language and messages.... at least 50% ends in a fff-up in misunderstanding  :facepalm: uwadia's message was read wrong  :'(  totally...... I know his system and I know of his quest to achieve the Hitachi sound that he so misses. His Wilson Audios are perfect, but...

    Agaton Sax - Your word are like the music - says it all Jozua & Kamikazi - Totally agree If we can share our feelings, emotions and experiences without being  :cr@p:  on, WTF do we need other human beings for ? I notice a LOT of the older guys (55+) have feelings left for beauty. Paintings...

    Subtle difference between digital source and USB cable

    Yes, USB cables make a difference. Why ? I don't know...... :Ooooooh: On SOME DACS. on the dCS I had, every one sounded different. The 18 year old printer cable save me THOUSANDS  :Whoohoo:  But alas a Kimber came a destroyed it. But I can NEVER afford it On the iFi's their blue usb is damn...

    iFI Zen Phono - Good 1st impressions

    You are not the only one thinking it GREAT! I use it all over, and every single unit for demo doesnt come back! What I love is it doesnt even shy away from playing a van den Hul Colibri properly. I have two myself  ;D

    ifi Zen DAC Signature Edition

    @Nash, my apologies for not reponding... yes indeed things have gone slightly out of hand. I had a full time partner in AEX and he died by suicide 2019. He was fulltime and I was the guy behind the scenes. I write the web page and test (or try) each of the almost 200 pieces of equipment here in...

    ifi Zen DAC Signature Edition

    I am rather on a very hot plate  :giggle: Unexpected orders mean I import now every 2 weeks. Top sellers are the Zen stream, Zen DAC and then Zen Blue And then the ifi Pro - the master! I expect a range coming in the R20k-R40k price range. There is a black hole between the NEO at R16k (Damn...

    ifi Zen DAC Signature Edition

    I also had this strange experience! I streamed via MAC and also Intel Laptop, yet the streamer sounds better ?! Very much better than the Intel Laptop. Is it because the whole Operating system is removed ? Sorter internal paths/circuits insed Streamer ? One obvious thought that pops up is...

    Cables or Coat hangers?

    TO NONE of the above posters.... Man, samples ? Controlled situations ? All the "clever" BS. Double blind tests. Any of you working for NASA or MIT ? All just crap to hide peoples inabilities to listen properly of deficiency's in their hearing, or the system under scrutiny. Yea I said it...

    Specs/Tests To Determine Sonic Differences

    Totally agree Air, but when you in open area, lots of guys go "Meh"  :puke: But that is the REAL propagation and not a sum of LOTS of waves. Amazing how a bass drum rocks you in open area... single hard kick...just wow

    Specs/Tests To Determine Sonic Differences

    Some "small" point. Even though a full wave doesnt "fit" in the room, its there, the sub made it and the air moved... might sound crap but believe me, the air moved. Case in point: Car shows where your hair stands upright with low bass, Im VERY sure you feel it, even though the car is the size...

    Quick Question, is it a bad idea to run two different subs?

    I agree, the "slow", "fast" perception is probably based on the ability of the woofer to do micro and macro movements accurate and as if there is no resistance. Easy discernable comparing an SVS PB16 Ultra, JL Audio Phantom, B&W DB1D and some older monsters. Take crossover to about 60Hz and...
