    CH P1 eRIAA and other EQ options

    Are there any recommendations as to when to switch to eRIAA curve? There are at least some tips about the use of other curves. For instance, I‘ve found these tables which can be used as guidance:

    Lampizator SPDIF question

    I’ve noticed that when I use the AES output for playback of 192 kHz material, the music gets interrupted. Then I found this paragraph in the Pacific manual: “The DAC is capable of automatic recognition of all sampling rates from 44 to 192 kHz and bit rates from 16 to 24. Since few if any...

    Cheap and natural sounding SPDIF RCA or AES/EBU cable?

    I’ve ordered some Belden 9497 speaker, 1192A RCA and Gotham GAC-4 XLR cables to try instead of my Transparent Reference and Kubala Sosna after reading Tango’s and several other threads about natural sound and the use of professional cables instead of audiophile junk ones:). Now, I also want to...

    Kuzma Stabi M -> Techdas AF3P

    I know it’s probably a lame question, but there is a good offer for a second-hand AF3P, and I am tempted:) Obviously it’s a better TT, but how big a difference I would hear in the context of my system? How would you describe the character of Techdas vs Kuzma? Is it less lively, but allows you to...

    Using 2 WiFi routers in media bridge mode to lower noise level

    Maybe it was discussed before, but it’ve recently tried this configuration while auditioning Telegartner switch, and the impact on sound quality was comparable to the use of this very expensive audiophile switch by itself. The setup is quite simple: 1. You buy a second wifi router with bridge...

    Hello everyone, I have a few questions about these amps and their possible use with the DAW. Please, share your experience or thoughts:) Will Essence Stereo have enough muscle to drive the DAW? It is not a very powerfull amp watt wise. My WA dealer aslo carries Pass Labs and he suggested at...

    WA Sasha DAW vs Kharma Elegance dB9-S/dB11-S

    I know they are all great speakers, but would like to ask this question anyway:) I’ve auditioned Sashas at home and liked them a lot. Planning to audition Kharma dB9 or -S (don’t know which one yet) this weekend. I did not consider Kharma speakers before, as I thought, they are much more...

    Sasha DAW vs Alexia 2

    I have just had 2 very exciting days auditioning the first pair of Sasha Daw in my country. They are definitely a big step up from my current Coincident Total Victory speakers. The bass, resolution, dynamics are all at another level. The speakers are new and maybe had just several hours of...

    DACs that excel at DSD playback (other than Lampi GG)?

    Hi Everyone, It is time to replace my ageing Lampi L4, and I am looking for a new DAC in 15 000 euro range. Most of my music collection is in DSD format, so I need a DAC, which is very good with DSD and supports at least DSD256. I have had extensive listening sessions with Lampi GG in my...

    Kuzma Stabi XL DC vs TechDAS Air Force III

    What would you choose if you had to a chance to pick up one of these great TT? I have pretty much narrowed it down to these two and now am leaning towards AFIII. Both are roughly the same price. Kuzma is a safer choice, but TechDAS has a much bigger WOW factor for me:) I've heard that Kuzma...
