General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

RE: Looking Back at my Audio Path

1.Be slow to dive into the Dac race and even slower in changing Dac's.

Agreed..... Not with just DACs, but any component..... The key is living with the item for an extended period of time, and then realizing whether it's good or it isn't.

2.Don't buy into the wire thing

There are so many cables out there..... And price does not necessarily correlate to better sound..... I'm currently using expensive interconnects and cheap speaker cables..... Whatever works.

3.If it says 'Class A' don't buy it

Too generalized to throw all "Class A" under the bus..... I personally like direct-heated single-ended triode Class A amplifiers.....

4.Don't buy into gadgets that go between one piece of gear and another

I generally agree with this, but there is one case where I do not agree..... The Audiophonics DIGIRescue reclocker works great between my Wiim Pro Plus streamer and Topping D90-III DAC..... I wouldn't run an inexpensive streamer and DAC without this unit.

Each case is different..... And people get different results with various things..... The key for each individual, "whatever works"......
