| How much faster of a sub is the REL T5X vs SVS SB12-NSD I have 2 SVS subs. Great for movies and good for music, but not great for music. My buddy has a sub made for music, and it is much better then my subs. I have not spent a ton of time messing with min. Sorry I don't recall the brand. I think i... | |
| Monstrous power cables Honest question. Can someone explain how a expensive power cord is going to over come the 50 to 100 feet of Romex (about 1 $ per foot) that runs from the breaker box to the outlet? I can understand if the stock power cable was worse then the Romex... | |
| Monstrous power cables "The electricity is carried through my house probably using 14 gauge wire." This is the key. Same with streaming. If your bandwidth from the curb to the house is bad, a 1000$ router is not going to make it any better. If the source is bad, it... | |
| Hey - What Happened to the Beware of Viking Acoustics Thread If I was a good vendor on Audiogon I would be unhappy because members (like me) don’t know who are the good ones and who are the bad ones because the bad vendors seem to be protected by Audiogon. So now I will not spend my money with any of them. ... | |
| everything sounded great until the upgrade @grislybutter I am not sure about the equipment. For a while I had a USB memory stick plugged into the back of an AV receiver. I also use the USB output (from a computer) with a USB cable into a DAC and from the dac to the amp. I am transition... | |
| everything sounded great until the upgrade grislybutter One thing I wanted to mention as an ex-cd player person - I ripped all my cd to FLAC and now it is all on a USB drive. This means you don't need a new CD player and it saves space. Many streamers/dacs can play the digital files dir... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. we can say that we do not want the playback system to be supplying further changes to the recording. Holmz I don't think this gets covered enough. It is nice have a baseline, and I can understand why people want to be true to original. Good, ... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. AVS tests measurements. It test well or it doesn’t - facts are facts. Good info but not the final decision for art or what a person likes. Some people like paintings that are hyper detailed (like a photo), some like impressionist paintings, which ... | |
| How do you make a final decision on a DAC As others have said, your current dac measures outstanding. I doubt it is doing anything wrong. I have read about using Amazon HD music with a PC and as I understand it, it can be challenging to get the best sound out of that software combo due... | |
| Boutique or Big Brand? Good post OP. I am quietly shopping but with a wider price range and instead just focusing on what appeals to my ear in relation to cost. There are many brands online but hard to find them local to listen to, and ordering and return shipping is ... | |
| Help - Need recommendation for my Sonus Faber Sonetto V!! I have been reading about the HiFi Rose streamer/dac. I think you can work it into your HT system to use the same amp if your processor has pre amp level outputs. Might check it out. | |
| Just installed a bluesound node 2i , quality not so good OP - My fried had the same product and said the same thing. He returned the BNode. He said it sounded better streaming into a separate DAC and using a different streamer. He ran it with SF Olympica speakers and Macintosh hybrid amp. I never got a... | |
| Beginner Question It looked like Nordost. I did not see the wood blocks, but I did not look behind the speakers and amp closely. I will research that. Thanks. | |
| Caveat Emptor Thanks for posting. I think what is important is that it appears you alerted them to issues with the unit within the time frame they outline for no restocking fee. They had you try fixes, instead of immediately shipping another, which were unsucce... | |
| Buyer Dispute I am mostly a reader here but at the end of it all I think it is important for the Audiogon community to know who the seller is so the members may make a more educated decision when conducting business. The facts and feedback are valuable. |
