    New MSB Cascade DAC

    Maybe this is only the “reference” version of the Cascade DAC. Could a Cascade [Select] DAC with two power bases be in the future?

    Grimm MU1 vs Aurender N30SA vs Taiko Audio

    For what it’s worth, different systems may present different results, but I’ve had the Grimm MU1, Aurender N30SA, and the Taiko Audio Extreme all in my system. Taiko was the winner, with the N30SA being app 10-15% of it and the Grimm not even close to the N30SA. Needless to say I own a Taiko.

    Axpona 2024 who is going and why?

    Agreed. I’ve looked for other YT reviewers making comments about the same thing Jay did. I haven’t located any. Has anyone else?

    Alsyvox vs. Clarisys - What are the Sonic Differences? Anyone Understand Design Differences?

    Ron, I find Alsyvox more realistic, more life-life. That’s the sound I enjoy most. The mids are better in the Alsyvox and I feel bass in lacking in Clarysis. I’d much rather own the Alsyvox. But to each his own.

    Visit to Clarisys Auditoriums + CH Precision System in Spokane, Washington

    It’s very true that every speaker must be set up correctly for one to get the best sound. That’s a given. However, can the Clarisys be set up correctly in every room? Your room and equipment is most likely different than what I heard them on. I’ve heard other speakers that I’ve enjoyed more...

    Excellent interview. I still sense a lack of bass with Clarisys.

    Alsyvox vs. Clarisys - What are the Sonic Differences? Anyone Understand Design Differences?

    I’d chose Alsyvox out of the two. The sound of Alsyvox is second to none, IMO. Don’t get me wrong Clarysis is very good, but just doesn’t make the top of the heap, IMO. Alsyvox is wonderful to listen to, and also to observe. They have it all IMO.

    Ron’s New System

    So sorry for the set back. At least it was caught before there was any major damage. Hope it get right for you soon.

    Does Analog EQ belong in State of the Art Systems?

    If an audiophile enjoys analogue sound than I don‘t see digital correction as even a consideration.

    Convince me to restart my analog journey

    I have extremely good digital (streaming and CD), but at the end of the day it still doesn’t match my TT for excellence in sound. Vinyl places me closer to the actual venue. The singers and instruments “feel” and “sound” more real. On a great table vinyl is mind blowing to me. A vinyl rig takes...

    Does Everything Make a Difference?

    If live music you listen to “sucks” then I wouldn’t be trying to reproduce it. Only Non-sucky live music is worth reproducing!

    DS Audio Ionizer

    Not really. According to the DS Audio the ION may be used with or without a ground. See the photo in the link above. I’ve played some 17 LPs with and without the DS Audio. I had two audiophile friends come over last night. They hear absolutely no distortion in my system using the DS Audio. And...

    DS Audio Ionizer

    Though a grounding cable came with the Ion, mine is not grounded. I don’t hear what you are hearing, so it may be worth a try to unground it.
