Interconnect recommendations
According to chatGPT, my 2 weakest links in my system, are my DAC & my interconnects. For a number of reasons, I am focusing on the interconnects first, starting with RCA from DAC to pre & balanced from pre to amp. My current interconnects are WBC Mogami 2549. Speaker cables are Transparent Plus. My USB is Cardas clear. I recently added the Stack Audio LAN silencer. I have a Furman P 2400 AR power conditioner & voltage regulator & Maze Audio Litz with billet plugs power cords.
Budget is open, new or used. Focus is on clarity, transparency and micro details. I want to match or slightly exceed the quality of my existing system.
My digital side of my system: Aurender N150 > Chord Qutest > PS Audio BHK pre > Moon 330A > KEF Reference 3’s.
If it helps, I am thinking used Dave or one the R2R (Holo KTE etc) as my DAC upgrade. Thanks!
@marco1 +1 After 100’s if not 1000’s of wire posts debates, arguments, You would think with little effort and research one could find all info wanted or needed. I’m curious what the percentage of commentary is initiated by people involved in the sales of said products, just a thought.. Cheers |
@signaforce - I think you got to the right answer. Enjoy the “very nice” sound! |
ChatGPT is an excellent resource, however, using it as an "Easy Button" will yield less than desirable results. Although those less than desirable results will be presented with complete confidence. A single query as one might do in a google search is insufficient. If you're concerned about accuracy then you need to interrogate ChatGPT as to how it came to it's conclusion. The first thing to ask for is sources. For audio it's entirely likely that it's referencing a review an online audio review magazine. If so, read that review and come to your own conclusion! I asked ChatGPT if a particular speaker and amplifier were a good match. It responded that they were an excellent match! After a few questions as to how ChatGPT came to this conclusion, it referenced an AGon post. Well, what luck! Then I realized it was MY post, a few sentences taken out of context to create an inaccurate conclusion. @ghdprentice I wouldn't be surprised if ChatGPT was reading your own posts back to you. Interrogate. Sources. |
fwiw..what Ai is giving you as a return may well be your own cmments here on A-gn(or other forums if you frequent any).. You mention your system and interconnects, electrical power..etc..in discussions here (or elsewhere) and your particular combination of components is somewhat unique. So when Ai searches for your combination of components they may well be most often combined in your comments, along with positive comments about Transparent ICs, power supply..etc.. |
Yes, chatGBT is not the end all be all. It should be used in conjunction with your own research & exactly the reason why I came to this forum. I found it to be excellent in areas of component isolation & cable management. As I said earlier in my post, I bought the stack audio lan silencer. That purchase was against the chatGPT recommendation. In that case, I listened to audiogoner’s. I did listen to ChatGPT on my Ref 3’s and I love them. ChatGPT is just one tool in your toolbox. @mitch2 Thanks! |
