| Best Sounding USB Cables? I have found that solid core cable is best for USB. As for solid core copper, or silver plated solid copper or solid silver, these are different flavors. Which tastes best will depend upon what electronics is at either end.You don't have to spend ... | |
| Best Sounding USB Cables? @mastering92Within a cable there is no such thing as a "digital signal." There is only an analog signal attempting to be a sequence of perfect square waves. So everything matters. Like so many others here, I have heard considerable differences a... | |
| Has Anyone Auditioned an LKS MH-DA004 DAC? sns,Stereophile had to violate one of its cardinal rules to review the Okto, to wit no US distribution=no review. I wouldn’t be surprised if they hear from their advertisers. It’s tough enough for US manufacturers to compete with importers. So it’... | |
| Has Anyone Auditioned an LKS MH-DA004 DAC? Just a few brief points. I've had a good deal of very positive interaction with Jinbo, the designer and (I think) head of LKS. He has been very helpful and will provide whatever support his customers need. I wish him well with the 005. As for ... | |
| Azimuth: how critical is it? Correct azimuth allows you to have a soundstage that, for many recordings, extends well beyond the speakers and well behind them. Since I listen to classical music, I think the rewards of a proper azimuth are large and rewarding. YMMV.The adjustme... | |
| Has Anyone Auditioned an LKS MH-DA004 DAC? @snsYes, someone has seen this, and thank you for writing about the new 005 DAC. I think I've read all the printed material about it though, as you know, very little has been written by anyone who has heard it. As with the 004 it probably has it... | |
| Integrityhifi TRU-GLIDER Pendulum Tonearm IIUC, as it is a pivoting arm It does have tracking error. It may just be that tracking error means a lot less in terms of SQ than we like to think it does. Also some of these arms are very long, lessening the tracking error.As for its anti-skat... | |
| Some Evidence of USB Cable Sound There are very good reasons that USB cables will sound different, one from another. This video seem to demonstrate that clearly. I don’t think, though, that the reasons were fully explained here. The main reason is that the signal going through th... | |
| Audio Art Statement 1 power cables? If you are up to attaching plugs to cables yourself, some here have found Viborg VP1606 5N OFC RISR 6 Square AC Power Cable to be inexpensive and outstanding. Because of its gauge (about 9.5 AWG) it’s not easy to work with, but well worth the effo... | |

OP probably means Primephonic.com, a classical only service They transmit in 44.1/16 or 48/24 but their streams are unmarked.Your need a program like MusicScope, which is no longer available, to see what they, or any other streamer, is actually s... | |
| Anyone know how to determine bitrate/res on Stereophonic? There is a program, no longer available, called MusicScope that gives that kind of information. | |
| Anyone know how to determine bitrate/res on Stereophonic? www.primephonic.comIt’s on everyone else’s Google.They stream classical music in 44.1/16 and 48/24 but they don’t tell you when they’re doing one or the other. But it is possible to tell. In fact, so far as I can tell it’s the only service that de... | |
| Anyone know how to determine bitrate/res on Stereophonic? @m669326Are you sure you don’t mean Primephonic? | |
| Bach Recording Recommendations For the Brandenburg Concertos I'd recommend the Dunedin Consort on a Linn Records SACD. Great performance and great sound. |
