| Cambridge Audio DacMagic Plus Power Supply Question I have a Cambridge 851C and by itself it is a fine player and the DAC inside it is a step up from the DacMagic plus. I run my 851C with Synergistic Black fuses and a WyWires Silver Juice II Digital power cord which has really transformed the Cambr... | |
| Speaker upgrade for classical music Magnepans 1.7i or the 3.7i if your room is big enough for 3.7i’s with a Parasound A21+ will be hard to beat for the money. For a preamp look at the Schitt Freya+. With the 1.7i’s you can probably do it all with some Canare speaker cable in your or... | |

| Speaker upgrade for classical music Budget of $8K was mentioned. Not sure I’d spend that much on speakers without upgrading from your Marantz receiver. If the Marantz must stay then I’d suggest Magnepans since your Marantz is probably on the warmer side and you already have the subs... | |
| Kimber 4tc good enough? Try Canare 4S11 single, not bi-wire and get a ft. or two extra and make your own jumpers. Use to own 4 and 8TC and I find it’s a little grainy and forward sounding. You’ll find the Canare is more relaxed or natural with a better stage. Canare take... | |
| Lifetime of Auricap capacitors ? Well I know the answer but after reading your second paragraph I’ll not respond to your question directly. I will respond I don’t understand what the lifespan of a capacitor has anything to do with the other. Good luck. | |
| DAC finalist please help RME ADI 2 fs DAC (current model) with Teddy Pardo linear power supply. It’s not going to butter things, but it’s accurate, musical and will keep you up real late rediscovering music you thought you knew. Give it a great shielded power cord, coax w... | |
| Recommendation for a replacement speaker cable Owned Clear Days Double Shotgun w/CD Jumpers, Canare, Kimber 4TC and 8TC and of those the Clear Days are more resolving, darker background - lower noise floor. Later ended with WyWires Silver Series. Difference between WyWires and the Clear Days i... | |
| Any Bluesound Node2 owners quintnoI’ve not listened to a Chord Qutest but it gets rave reviews. I have a Vault 2 and and in my system it’s night and day difference between the onboard DAC or using the DAC in either my Cambridge 851C or RME. I agree the audible difference be... | |
| Pro-Ject Pre Box S2 comes with USB cable YouTube unpacking videos shows it comes with a micro USB cable if that helps. Typically manufactures throw in a adequate cable to do the job to get you by and for most that’s all they need. If you’re hoping it will be a great cable I’m sure the an... | |
| BlueSound Stinks(!), anyone? No problem with my Vault 2 either. Never had any issues whatsoever and couldn’t be any easier to set up. The Vault has to be hardwired via ethernet so maybe do the same. The Node is definitely superior as a streamer over the Sonos and speaking wit... | |
| Any Bluesound Node2 owners bubba12I have an Oppo 205 so can’t say for certain the DAC in your 105 will sound better than the Node but I bet it will be noticeably better. To do it right you need a digital coax cable so not any rca cable and I’d say avoid Toslink as well. If ... | |
| Any Bluesound Node2 owners Pretty sure the OP asked for suggestions to get the most out of their Node 2. Don’t feel anyone here isn’t offering what was not asked.+1 on the Supra Cat 8I use a Supra Cat 8 and although it’s the only ethernet cable I have tried besides the stoc... | |
| Any Bluesound Node2 owners kgveteran Not uncommon to spend much more on a separate DAC to run with a Node 2. Knowing your budget will probably help but I’d probably say stay under $1500 on a DAC with a Node 2 as at that point might want to step up to another streamer. I’m r... | |
| Mark Levinson power cord vs Shunyata Venom3 power cord The Venom 3 is a 12 gauge shielded cord. With your amp it will work just fine but I’d look for a 10 gauge cord if you can such as a Kimber PK10 Gold or the current model. What you should expect with a heavier gauge cord is a little better bass ext... |
