| Example of a piece o’ crap, useless review Late to this party, but having just read this review, thought I’d add what is missing for me. My vintage table is having issues and so I started casting about for a possible modern replacement. Initially, I was looking at the Cosmos. But the Quasa... | |
| Audiolund Cable Ownership Review - XLR to RCA Interconnect I realize I never got back to this. I liked the interconnects just fine. I had Chris Johnson make a pair using Duelund and those were great as well. The power cable was not as exciting. The cable is stiffer than I’d thought and the connector often... | |
| MHDT Orchid 69SE S2 Bummer, I have the Orchid, but just found out (belatedly) about the 69SE. I love the Orchid but am curious about the upgraded version. | |
| Audiolund Cable Ownership Review - XLR to RCA Interconnect Last year I downsized my system and bought some Duelund wire from Partsconnexion and diy'ed new speaker cable. I loved the sound and was looking to find out more about Duelund and found Audiolund using that wire. I just ordered a power cord and so... | |
| CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports Nice to read your journey. I own the CEC TL-5 and ran across this thread and liked how you stayed on top of it and gave updates. A story all it's own. I bought the CEC TL-5 in 2020. Over the last few years, worsening tinnitus had me selling all o... | |
| warmest speaker cables you've heard? I put the cables outside for a week and the smell went away. After swapping out my Synergistic Research cables, I swapped in the Duelunds and the let them play and I found them exactly what I was looking for. Warm and deep without any high-end etc... | |
| warmest speaker cables you've heard? @docroasty Wow! You weren't kidding about the smell. I have them sitting outdoors to see if that goes away. I've stripped them down and getting a multimeter this weekend to figure out pos/neg and attach to plugs. At this point, I do want to see ho... | |
| warmest speaker cables you've heard? Thanks. Unfortunately, I had already gone ahead and ordered 4 meters from PartsConnexion before I saw your post. We’ll see how it goes. Thankfully, they aren’t that expensive if I experience similar smells. Your current cables are way beyond my bu... | |
| warmest speaker cables you've heard? @docroasty we need closure on this anecdote! You ordered the Duelund cable and....??? | |
| Fidelity Research FR-7 Repair So my cartridge is back. But I'm packing up to leave town for two weeks. Guess it will have to wait. By the way, have you guys seen this protractor:https://www.ebay.com/itm/Fidelity-Research-FR-64-FR-64S-FR-64FX-Tonearm-Cartridge-Alignment-Protrac... | |
| WHat did Audiophiles hear during Tape deck era? Many of us didn't have audiophile quality. We just enjoyed the music without all the analyzing. Even when it was BTO fading out midsong so it could ker-chunk and fade back up on the in-car 8-track. Good times. | |
| How do you share the sweet spot? On that rare occasion when I'm sharing I wouldn't dream of sitting in the sweet spot. The entire point in that case would be to share the experience. Well, to show off the system, too. I usually sit to the side, after all, it's still music. | |
| forum.audiogon.com Upgrade I hate those endless scrolling forums. Drives me nuts. But yeah, pics of various memes would be...amusing? | |
| Anyone with tinnitus or hearing loss who is into "high-end" audio? I have tinnitus. I went to see a loud Japanese band (Acid Mother's Temple) and afterwards the ringing didn't go away. I have been seeing bands since the late 70's and saw an awful lot of punk, industrial and free jazz concerts in small clubs. Work... | |
| CD Transport to pair with Audio Note DAC 5 - suggestions? I wish I could speak to your Audio Note DAC. FWIW, I recently I decided to upgrade out of a CDP and go transport and DAC. I bought a used CEC TL5 and bought the Mhdt Orchid. I was trying to elevate my CD's to something approaching my analog front ... |
