| Roon Nucleus as a Streamer @navyachts, I use a ROON Nucleus Rev B with an Sbooster LPS in my system because it is totally plug and play, it works seamlessly with all of my Apple devices, and it gives me access to tens of millions of tracks of recorded music with the touch o... | |
| Ethernet - Analog/Digital Signal Clean Up @audphile1, that sounds like you’re on the right path now. The switches that Rob suggested I use are pretty moderately priced as are the iFi xPower SMP supply units. | |
| Ethernet - Analog/Digital Signal Clean Up @audphile1, I’m a huge fan of the ENO Streaming System Ag because it is a passive filter and it does exactly what Rob Osborne and Rich Trussell at Network Acoustics said it would do. I have one network switch between my router and the ENO, and I’m... | |
| Another person going digital and full of questions @mattchanoff, save yourself the time and frustration of hunting around and get a Roon Nucleus music server and a Chord Qutest DAC and be done with it. That way you’ll have the best user interface in music streaming software, and the best DAC at it... | |
| Audioquest Storm Series power cables When I got my AudioQuest Niagara 1200 power conditioner I first tried both the AQ Blizzard and Monsoon power cables. I eventually settled on an AQ Thunder power cable because it really lowered the sonic floor of my system to the point where the ba... | |
| objective vs. subjective rabbit hole I’ve enjoyed reading the many intelligent and varied comments in this thread immensely. I got into this hobby over fifty years ago because I like listening to music. The entire thing of watching a guy sitting in his house and sending an electrical... | |
| What should I expect after installing a new power management system? The use of an AudioQuest Niagara power conditioner has definitely improved the sound quality of my system. Together with a good power cable you can significantly lower the noise floor and help to diminish the RFI and EMI that can really limit the ... | |
| Least Expensive Power Conditioner/Surge Protector That Won't Worsen Sound @analogj, no I wasn’t suggesting that only the power cord is critical in helping any systems SQ. The power cable in conjunction with a good power conditioner should work together to help keep the electricity running through your mains clean. A lot... | |
| Least Expensive Power Conditioner/Surge Protector That Won't Worsen Sound @analogj, I appreciate the question. To give you a short answer there isn’t anything or difference that you’re going to be able to hear because a good power cord and conditioner doesn’t add anything. All it does is take away RFI and EMI that will ... | |
| Least Expensive Power Conditioner/Surge Protector That Won't Worsen Sound @buddyboy1, to my understanding there is no difference structurally between the old Niagara 1200 and what is on the AudioQuest website now other than AudioQuest having raised its prices this year. https://www.audioquest.com/ac-power/ac-power-c... | |
| Least Expensive Power Conditioner/Surge Protector That Won't Worsen Sound @analogj, the PowerQuest2 to my understanding was not designed by Garth Powell. For me it acted as a really good surge protector with some adequate noise filtering that made it a much better choice for an audio or home entertainment system than yo... | |
| Least Expensive Power Conditioner/Surge Protector That Won't Worsen Sound @buddyboy1, oh god yes, I immediately noticed an improvement in sound quality when I got on board the Garth Powell from AudioQuest’s clean power train. Powell designs all of the power conditioners and higher end power cables at AudioQuest. I notic... | |
| Least Expensive Power Conditioner/Surge Protector That Won't Worsen Sound @buddyboy1, +1 on the AudioQuest PowerQuest 2. I used one for over a year before I got an AQ Niagara 1200 power conditioner, and I still have it. | |
| Does Formula 1 racing and high end audio go together for anyone else? @duramax747, I’m a huge fan of Sir Lewis Hamilton, who I consider the greatest Formula One race car driver of all time. Do you have a link to the work that you’re doing in racing or other endeavors? | |
| new headphones recommendation? grado gs3000e or… @cinnamonandgravy, for years I enjoyed my Grado RS1i headphones, and I still have them because they’re very musical and fun to listen to. Then two years ago when the pandemic started I got audio gear upgradeitis and bought a pair of Grado GS3000e ... |
