1: Cable Asylum, RE: Jw Audio Cryo Nova speaker cable... (0.00)
Posted by kimchee411 on 2012-08-21, 14:20:20 (204.68.210.39)
Late response, but this is a very good speaker cable at a ridiculous price. Much better than the JPS Superconductor+ Petite that they replaced in my system. Very good clarity, transparency, detail, an .......

Posted by kimchee411 on 2010-07-27, 13:42:08 (204.68.210.39)
D'oh, they "fixed" this today. Now "other items" just shows "Sold". So I bit the bullet and subscribed to the Blue Book. I'm quite disappointed. There isn't enough time-specific data and a lot of item .......

Posted by kimchee411 on 2009-06-18, 18:09:00 (204.68.210.39)
I've owned several pairs of Axioms myself. They have a really nice balanced sound that's neither too forward nor too laid back to me -- very versatile in terms of the types of music they play well, wh .......

Thanks for the response! I went with the new guys (a lot more expensive on the used market). Just wish I could compare them with the old ones myself. They will be replacing Audioquest Indigo 2, which .......

Posted by kimchee411 on 2009-05-11, 18:41:55 (204.68.210.39)
Anybody have firsthand experience (extended periods, cables broken-in) with the new clear and white version? Is it noticeably better? Hard to find reviews out there (or hard to search for). ::: TOPIC: .......

Are you speaking from experience Stu? I'm currently in the market for 8TC so if what you say is true, then I'll go for the new stuff. .......

Posted by kimchee411 on 2009-04-16, 12:51:47 (204.68.210.39)
Okay, so now the question is which connection type BESIDES HDMI will give the best sound quality? From the PS3 SACD site: "With system software v 2.00, if you’ve got an AV Receiver without HDMI PS3 ca .......

So if PS3 did what I wanted it to do, do you think DSD->PCM->Outboard DAC->Amp would be better than DSD->Analog->Amp? .......

Doesn't say anything about whether or not analog out is first converted to PCM from DSD, only that it can't output a pure DSD digital stream. .......

I just bought a Scott Nixon USBChibi for $155 on Audiogon. Can anybody comment on the Nixon Chibi or Tube vs. EMU 0404 USB? .......

Damn, well that sucks. How did you find this out? Is the SQ anywhere near DSD -> analog, or at least better than redbook? Thanks for the reply. .......

Thanks for the replies. Has anyone heard the KingRex UD-01 with the KingRex PSU? That combo runs $330. I'm curious how it compares with the CA DAC Magic... .......

Posted by kimchee411 on 2009-04-14, 16:06:28 (204.68.210.39)
Does anybody know if PS3 converts DSD to PCM even if using 2-channel analog output? I was excited to get a PS3 that plays SACD, but then I remembered there are a lot of devices out there that convert .......

I've been eyeing the MSB Link III for some time based on what I've read, but they are rather hard to find nowadays. Please recommend some DACs in my price range. USB would be nice, but not necessary. .......

I just started browsing this forum so I'm not sure why you'd want an SSD, but connecting it over USB will defeat the purpose of an SSD vs. regular spindle HDD in terms of throughput. .......

Thanks everyone for your input. I picked up the cables and they pretty much look brand new. The factory termination insulates the cable extremely well so I'm sure they'll perform nicely. Thanks again! .......

Hi all, I'm trying to figure out how I can connect the subwoofer I ordered (Energy ESW-8) to the intergrated amp I just ordered (KingRex T20U). There are 2 hurdles that need to be overcome here: 1) T .......

Damnit, I hit "post reply" in the wrong place and now the chronology of this thread is weird. Anyway, I forgot to ask: how well does factory termination (AQ in particular) protect against oxidation/d .......

Thanks guys. Sounds like I should be fine. By "significant" I mean a large difference, to the point where I would be better off paying more for a cable that is "lower" in the AQ lineup but newer. I'v .......

Hi all, I am putting together a little bedroom stereo system and found what looks like a nice deal on a pair of Audioquest Indigo 2 cables. My concern is that these are a fairly old model, probably so .......
