| Decisions, decisions, decisions Get the Vanders. They will sound great with what you have and next year you can shop used for an amp that will take them to the next level. It takes years to build the system up so no rush. If you buy based what is best for your weakest link cu... | |
| What’s your opinion about Dali speakers? I have listened to their lower level speakers a few time and felt they were fine. Not great but not grabbing my attention. A couple weekends ago I listed to the EpiKore 11 supported by VTL monoblocks and I was very impressed. Great bass control, a... | |
| Rogue Audio RP-1 DAC use @thegreenline I have a question. If you use the same DAC (best on you have), can you tell the difference between the two different pre-amps? Which one do you prefer? What is the history of the RP1 - new or used, how old is it? I would thin... | |
| Toe in is crucial Everyone should try with less toe in as part of the adjustment. I prefer a wider soundstage, with the central image still maintained. I have listened to several systems with so much toe in, the soundstage is lost and the singer sounds like a poi... | |
| Those magical days when the HVAC is off Same here. I shut down all the ac systems when I listen. I don't know if it is the sound from air through the vents or noise on the AC lines. Big difference. Same as GHD, I cool down (or heat) the house before listening then shut it all down. | |
| Aurender Conductor V4 and Qobuz phone app don't match I had playlist issues but those were all resolved with an update about 2 months. Power down the aurender device too restart it. If still having issues, contact aurender. | |
| Aurender Conductor V4 and Qobuz phone app don't match Similar to what @tvad said, I would update the operating system on both devices. Delete C4 from both devices, shut down both and reboot. Then reinstall C4 on both devices and log in. Make sure both are the same log in and PW. If that does not... | |
| why expensive streamers @mdalton I understand what you are saying. I don’t have all the answers. My bias was that the N150 would sound the same for all the reasons expressed and that was my technical opinion as well. Beyond that I did not want to spend the extra money f... | |
| why expensive streamers @delmatae I felt the same as you give my technical background. Same exact data should be delivered to the DAC. I went from a Node to an N150 and it was easily noticeable and an improvement. Wife picked out in blind tests. I kept the N150. My expe... | |
| Requesting opinions about 4 specific amplifiers I have not heard all the amps on your list, but with the 50% price drop on BHK 250, it would be hard to beat with the new warranty and not having to wonder if you are buying someone else's problems and the return policy. I picked one up about a m... | |
| High Pass Filter for Mains I went in a different direction, but researched these https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/752261-REG/dbx_234XS_234xs_Crossover_XLR.html I don't know anything about them but ASR measured one and it measured better then its price. | |
| Listening Room @jgjg123 Good post - many of use have a dual use room. I tend to agree with @asctim a bit - you don't have to focus on a single location too much. In a music club or concert it is rare to be in a perfect spot. You can still enjoy the music by s... | |
| Tracks that bring out the best of YOUR digital system Well, I know what I am doing this weekend. | |
| Surge protector Be cautions with web site reviews that provide links to buy the product. They make money off the links and hence provide good reviews to products (or only review) that participate in the referral program. Does not mean the product is not good, b... | |
| Advantage of separate Bi-wire runs Not completely sure what you mean by separate verses internal. If you mean that the cables are separated by a distance of several inches then it would be to reduce coupling from the signal in one cable pair into the other cable pair. I think b-w... |
