Chord Mojo 2 Thread ___ [product released January 31, 2022 -- starting on page 95 of thread]
I will try one of those and see how they go. I have only at this point used cheapo USB-C to USB-C cables but I completely accept your assessment that it is luck of the draw. That is what I suspected. Your last sentence is also my experience, with the proviso in my case that some brands of El...- theophile

Chord Mojo 2 Thread ___ [product released January 31, 2022 -- starting on page 95 of thread]
I'm going to weigh in about the USB-C white noise issue. There might be design issues inside the M2 which make the unit sensitive to cable flaws, robustness, damage or compromised cable design. I have bought cheapo USB-C to USB-C cables which initially worked satisfactorily, until it didn't...- theophile

The volume control is what it is. Take it up with the manufacturer directly or waste energy on the internet where those who have nothing to do with it take the matter and we all go around in circles. Achieving nothing but going around in circles.- theophile

I've had the Mojo 2 for one week now. Paired with the Moondrop Blessing 2 Dusk IEMs. A little bit of eq tweaking. The lowest crossfade setting and things are really cooking.- theophile

Moondrop Blessing Dusk: DAC/ cables recommendations
Hello everyone. I rarely post so I don't expect this to attract much attention. I just purchased the Moondrop Blessing Dusk IEMs. I'm considering getting the Chord Mojo2 as a DAC pairing for the Blessing. Are there any recommendations for better portable DACs? Is there a preferred cable for the...- theophile

Who has an end game setup?
Takeanidea, I've hit a 35+ years high for sound quality. My current system reproduces my records in a manner excelling everything that I have ever heard(haven't heard it all) but only after I properly isolated my Yamaha GT 2000 turntable. My headphone rig consisted of LCD 2.2s used...- theophile

The Audeze LCD-2 Ortho thread (New)
I'm not attempting to hold the LCD-2(rev.2) and Violectric V200 up as some kind of benchmark by which other 'phones and amps should be measured by, but my experience of these two products used together is; They are very transparent to the totality of what is being fed into them. Transparent to...- theophile

The Audeze LCD-2 Ortho thread (New)
My LCD-2(rev.2) and Violectric V200 combination is like a chameleon or a camouflaged octopus or squid. It sounds like the way that I have my turntable set up. The combination CAN sound boring, undynamic, bass light, lacking detail IF there is something amiss at 'The Source' end of things...- theophile

I haven't got mine yet. If the Q improves things from where they are now, especially since it is the last link between the Source/Amplification, I'd be very satisfied. -
Critical listening - The Middle Way
Mike, Having a vinyl Source component means that one can experiment with various adjustments and set-up elements. All of which can subtly/grossly change the sound quality. There have been times when the set-up has produced a VERY pronounced 'metronomic' effect on the music played...- theophile

The Holy Grail of all 12AX7's
I don't use 12AX7s in my Grounded Grid preamp (12AU7s). Nor have I tried 21 yo Glenfiddich (I love the 18yo). Despite all that, thanks for the post. PS A really nice single malt is 15yo Dalwhinnie. 8 ^ )
