    Levinson C Wave Technology

    I'm also curious what device he refers to in one of his videos that is able to determine with 100% accuracy whether an LP is digitally sourced.

    'BEST' Garden hose

    I've been using "Flexzilla" since last year. It's very flexible and that makes it easy to use and wind. I got mine at Walmart but it's at Amazon, too. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0781Z3J6B/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_5?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&th=1

    Denali v2 vs Everest

    I used the V3 with a Typhon for a couple of years and enjoyed it. But eventually I found the Typhon to make the sound a bit too slow in my system. I came to appreciate the Triton V3 by itself and used it that way for awhile. I haven't tried any of the newer generation power products by Shunyata...

    Audio Grade Duplex Cryogenic

    Cryo'd Hubbel 5362 duplexes are my favorite after trying Furutech GTX D gold and rhodium versions, Audience (rebranded Cardas with their own treatment) and Audioquest Edison and maybe another I am forgetting. I may revisit the AQ Edison at some point as I liked a lot about it. But for midrange...

    Furutech DPS-4.1 limited edition power cable vs Nanoflux power NCF

    I'm scaling back on audio cables and my Furutech Nanoflux & Nanoflux NCF power cables are now listed on Audiogon along with Acrolink/Esoteric's last flagship power cable at very attractive prices. Check out my posts on the first page of this thread for my feedback about these cables!

    Luxman's new D-10X flagship sacd player

    I don't have extensive experience using the usb input but when I owned a Lumin X1 (Lumin's flagship streamer), I used the usb output of the Lumin to connect to my D10x's usb input. I found the sound much better than the Lumin X1 analog output and heard the same attributes I hear from using the...

    Is there much love for cassette decks here?

    I have a number of decks but recently bought the best sounding of the bunch - a Teac V-8030S. It's stunning sounding. I also have a Tascam 122 MK3 that is one of the best sounding I've owned. I actually sought out the Teac because of my experience with the Tascam and I was not disappointed. I...

    BetterCables Silver Serpent Air Interconnect?

    A follow up - I recently changed tape decks to a model that I would say is more neutral and revealing. I found myself unsatisfied with the BetterCables Silver Serpent Air so I brought out the Audioquest Earth and Iconoclast 1x4 OCC to compare. In this instance the Iconoclast was my clear...

    SFP/FMC/Optical cable - The only important ethernet cable?

    Yes, the FMC was a $75 StarTech device. It sounded terrible and sent the sound quality several steps backwards versus non-fiber. The switches (one on the sending end and one in the room with my stereo) I bought were even cheaper and sounded better than the FMC out off the box and changing the...

    SFP/FMC/Optical cable - The only important ethernet cable?

    Is there a particular manufacturer for the power bank you use? I'm not familiar with them.

    SFP/FMC/Optical cable - The only important ethernet cable?

    My experience is that upstream changes find their way through downstream fiber. When I first started experimenting with fiber last year, I bought a StarTech FMC that looked like the one pictured in the diagram. Saying it sounded bad is an understatement. I replaced it with a CHEAPER Trendnet...

    Who has bought esoteric wire for behind the wall

    I bought the Audience Hidden Treasure and had my electrician run 4 20 amp dedicated lines to my listening area. It was a fairly short run of maybe 25 feet for each one so it wasn't a big investment. I'm very happy with it but who knows if a generic 10 gauge wire would have been just as good.

    Kef Reference 207/1

    I am able to use hifiengine with the Firefox browser so give that a try if you can. The site is blocked when I use the Safari browser on my MacBook.

    Where my Black Flag people at?

    He's back playing with Fear again and arguably hasn't lost a step playing in his original, frenzied style. His speed and precision still amazes me.

    All New Yamaha NS 5000 Speakers..... World-Beaters ?

    I have a pair of Harbeth 40.2 speakers powered by a Vitus SIA-030 (can be either 60w Class A @ 4ohm or 400w AB @ 4ohm) and was considering getting a pair of these Yamaha speakers. But I was advised by an owner that the Vitus would not be provide enough current for the Yamaha speakers. He...
