Who's Gone Topless?
@cleeds Why do you need your eyes to listen to music?  Why are you so against people confirming if they HEAR a difference by just using their ears and not knowing what changed ahead of time?You realize that whatever you did to reach your subjectiv... 
The Synergistic Research Orange Fuse ... Further thoughts.
9. Lastley, I can set the volume control lower and get the same volume in sound as before.First..."lastley" isn't a word.Second, are you willing to have this statement proven via measurements?  
RMAF 2019 PS Audio AN3 loudspeaker
I heard them last year and this year.  Last year was a disaster.  They looked like they were glued together the night before the show started and sounded terrible.This show was better, but I kept sitting there thinking "why?"  The last thing we ne... 
RMAF 2019!
@barts The Polks were $6k.The reason for the 4 chairs only lined up in the center is that the SDA technology is designed for the sweet spot.  However, it was a good test to sit off axis too because it showed that they performed just as good as oth... 
RMAF 2019!
I've gone to countless shows over the years since the 90s.The Polk SDA demo is one of the most impressive I've ever heard.  I can't even believe I'm writing those words, but it's the honest truth.  Every room I went into after that demo was boring... 
A21 vs McCormack?
I'm a huge fan of McCormack upgraded amps and have had multiple amps upgraded by him to platinum level.  In fact, I just talked to him a couple days ago and will be sending my DNA125 to him soon for a new upgrade he just discovered which he says i... 
Best DAC
@reggy you should be fine.I had the Amenero USB in my lampizator.Since I posted this years ago, the biggest change is the performance of the server. I actually think the server/software is equal or more important than the DAC (assuming you start w... 
Emotiva equipmet, how good is it?
If Emotiva stuck the exact same amp as their differential balanced amp in a fancy Dagostino chassis and marked it up 10x, people would be loving it.Actually, scratch that...the ripoff Dagostino broke on the test bench 2 times in a Stereophile revi... 
Mccormack DNA-225 platinum
Typos in the above reply... It should say "Plitron transformer" and "driver board probably wasn't replaced" 
Mccormack DNA-225 platinum
The Platinum could mean a variety of things, but it typically included a Platoon transformer, upgraded internal wiring, caps, and rectification.  Plus, it could mean better connectors.You did good on the price because you may be able to get up to ... 
Verastarr-Grand Illusion
@mmcentyre I have the Grand Illusion Sig II - High Current power cord.  Before providing my two cents, let me provide some context because too often people jump into "fanboy" or "hater" camps with primitive advice and conclusions.First, I've had t... 
Any one try the new Synergistic Research BLUE UEF Duplex receptacle?
The SR guy is a joke with zero qualifications to create anything other than overpriced junk that requires no customer support or maintenance.  His background is 100% marketing.Sadly, the hobby is littered with gullible people who pretend to be kno... 
Harbeth 30.1 or legacy calibre
Let's step back for a minute.  I know people are anxious to give their two cents on these options, but I find it very strange that these are the two speakers being considered.  How did you come to consider these two speakers over others?  Did you ... 
Krell KSA100 vs Threshold 400A vs McCormack DNA 0.5
@legarem I'm wondering why you didn't follow the advice given to you in this thread.  I specifically told you in my reply..."Just to be clear though with my recommendation. (Mccormack) is a "no-brainer" assuming you are getting it modded. As good... 
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
I've attended his/HFC demos and heard his system at shows for several years. I've also heard bizarre statements/contradictions by him like "I don't make balanced cables because it's impossible for two conductors to be identical"....and then the ne...
