@@highendaudio Yes, I’ ve never heard the 711, only the 710 at a show with Marten speakers… Too analytical sound to me, but imaging was superb. Never heard the Luxman M900u but I heard good things about it.. I guess retail price here doesn’t matter..
As I point out in my review, those Tobian 12FH's are FANTASTIC speakers. Anyone serious in fantastic sound needs to call Mike @ Suncoast and check them out for themselves.
Very nice and good speakers ! I hope you find matching , Dan it's ok for Magico ( you know that ) . I hope you find a good Home for this beauty M7 . BR
The Solution 330 bests the VAC in every category…but you’re gonna have to shell out an additional 10k for a new one. Better to find one on Audiogon for 15k and be done.
This test proves absolutely nothing !! You should be testing the output of the audio equipment and you'll find these exotic power cables make no diifference simply because well designed audio equipment does way more filtering in its power supply than any cable could ever do !! Silly nonsense :D LOL
@@highendaudio You made the claim so you prove it.You measured it on the mains so you should be able to measure it on the output of the audio equipment it is connected to which is what matters when it comes to sound quality and not some unrelated mains voltage ;)
Mike i got the chance to listen to the DAC at a local dealer. And have to say waouu its really really good. Unfortunately i will have ti win the lottery to be able to afford something like this. But i still find it really interesting to hear what's possible. And those who can afford it they are blessed 🙂
Couldn't hear the difference if my life depended on it. So I guess I'll have to stick with my AM radio in the kitchen, right? How snotty, overbearing, and full of yourself can you get with such a comment? When making a test like this, at least try to get the recording right. Muffled and distorted, and you dare try to convince people to buy a $40,000 cable if you are not even capable of putting up two mics and recording in a decent quality? An embarrassing display of the lack of self-reflection.
My guess is #1 was SS and #2 was tube. I thought the bass sounded more real on #2, just more real in general… All I really care about is, does it actually sound like the real thing? So, #2 for me….
As a few folks intimated, this really doesn't show much. Not that the test is flawed or that the presenters are hiding anything it's just that; 1) The analyzer is a "black box" with no definition of what it is analyzing. What does it consider noise? Induced FM signal would certainly be noise, but probably does not impact the audible spectrum. 2) The last test should have had another power cable between the conditioner & analyzer which would be required from the conditioner to the equipment being powered. 3) If the noise is in the audible spectrum, what is its amplitude in either watts or DB? If it is less than "N" DB, it would be inaudible to even a dog. All the test showed was a percentage, if the base line noise (100%) is 2 DB reducing the noise to 0% is meaningless. 4) The filters built into all power supplies in electronic equipment are there to filter out noise. How much do they reduce the noise? I suppose a test which MIGHT make sense would be to put a scope on the power rail of a piece of moderately priced equipment and measure the noise in absolute values in the 3 situations provided. For additional fun feed a pure sine wave signal at a relatively low frequency through a preamp & amplifier into a non inductive load. With a dual scope, connected to the input of the preamp and output of the amplifier, show what the signals looks like in the three scenarios. This last test MIGHT actually show if there is any difference which could potentially be audible.
