    Hi Steve, can you help with the CS2 1.5 placement under the Extreme? It seems many holes under the chassis preventing optimal operating conditions for CS2 footers. Appreciate if any one with experience in placing these footers under the Extreme can chime in to help. Thank you guys

    Outstanding Sound Improvement with Videos before-after/ VYDA Cables

    Outstanding Sound Improvement with Videos before-after/ VYDA Cables

    Believe it or not. Power cord decides the tonal and soundstage and harmonics and bass extreme frequency of a DAC. Power cord at pre amp also seems to have certain weight on a system sound contribution. In my experience and contrary to popular belief, power cord usually has much more impact than...

    Dave would be showing Jeffrey a clip showing the effect of cable settle and Ack would disapprove the video also. It has to be their way or the high way

    Outstanding Sound Improvement with Videos before-after/ VYDA Cables

    Actually the right thing would be for microstrip is to show us how a same track can be so different on gain with a phone recording on normal iphone recording software at same position using same gear on same volume if he is the methodical guy as he claim to be. if he fail to provide such...

    Outstanding Sound Improvement with Videos before-after/ VYDA Cables

    What you learn simply cant be true because the methodology is flaw or video is compressed or i will rather cover my ear than listening to when someone play music from compressed source. Sarcasm intended.

    Outstanding Sound Improvement with Videos before-after/ VYDA Cables

    I am saying listening to Tang’s youtube video playing Reiner Scheherazde through his AS on your phone shows better timbre, dynamics than your own system in real life despite the obvious compression of the youtube format. Of course i cant debate this point fairly but given the difference in gear...

    Outstanding Sound Improvement with Videos before-after/ VYDA Cables

    I It is true that Bonzo did not convey my point. What you can extract from videos of other uber system are: timbre, details, dynamics , micro , nuance, tempo and musicality. If you feel that all of these above criteria of your system are better when playing the same song as some of the uber...

    With all due respect, I think you are quite delusional at best with your system capability sir.

    Outstanding Sound Improvement with Videos before-after/ VYDA Cables

    You even see Van Gogh and the likes in person? You rather see them through a crappy camera and compress digital image or not see them at all? Be gracious that we can have a chance to listen to some of the uber system out there.

    Outstanding Sound Improvement with Videos before-after/ VYDA Cables

    I guess we are back to taking written reviewers words/methodology because Microstrip/Al M putting doubt on how the videos were recorded or the sound was too much different for a power cord. Although you gentlemen may be very knowledgeable about audio and audio equipment but i will take these...

    Center Stage 2

    Does electronics with a marble case render CS2 footer less effective? I have a trinity power conditioner which outer case made of marble. Today i put in my cs2 0.8 and it seems to have no effect.

    Introduction of my new Antipodes K50 Music Server

    The Antipodes cost much less than Taiko. Roon can also be improved in future. Very interesting. Although i am another Dave + Mscaler user and report saying Taiko can do wonder with HQPlayers still make me wondering.

    Thrax Libra - A Statement Preamplifier and A Game Changer

    JCAT - music server upgrades, power supplies, cables

    No point to increase capacitance even further? Take a look at Taiko or Sean Jacobs or Pachanko offering. You are really striving for quality in those capacitors? It is an insult if you gonna be offering this at 5K to be honest.

    What do you think of this video

    This system has always lacked tone before the introduction of WB speakers, tube trap hence i advocated it because of the CH DAC. But the analog seems to improve on tones but not up to par with the tube ultimates. So it could be the cables: Ansuz, Nordost, Audioquest or Transparent are what i...
