| Nordost Power Cables - my latest experience The Vishnu is a very fast and revealing PC so I could see how it wouldn’t work for many. Also I find it’s a great on digital but would be too light gauge of a cable for a large amp or maybe even a preamp. | |
| What are the top 3 dream speakers you wanna buy next regardless of price? Likely speakier I will move to will be Aerial Acoustics 7T. Speakers I have heard in person that I think are wonderful would be B&W 800 D3 so maybe down the road when the used cost come down.If I’m dreaming too many to name and honestly have n... | |
| ARC LS26/27 vs BAT VK31SE Agree ARC preamps of today are more neutral than having a big tube sound of their past components. The latest ARC I’ve had in my system was a LS25 MKII, and it did nothing wrong and was very neutral but I found it cold compared to my previous ModW... | |
| ModWright Oppo 105D Tubes To Chill Out 2kHz-8kHz You’re talking in the range of vocals? How does anyone even know where to start on this one? Could be a million reasons outside of your 105D or the tubes. First thought is room treatment, placement of your speakers and listening seat. When you sla... | |
| A Better Bluesound AC Cable? New PC built and up and running. With no time on the new cable it’s already better. Stock cable has a little bit of an edge on top but not too hot but it’s there. Comparing CD’s I’ve ripped to the drive sound much closer to the CD. Need to give it... | |
| A Better Bluesound AC Cable? Just picked up a new or refurbish Vault 2 directly from Bluesound and I am very pleased to say least. I tried it directly to my preamp with Wywires Silver IC’s and it didn’t sound too bad then with a Nordost Silver Shadow to the DAC in my CD playe... | |
| Tube cd player Would guess they sound very nice together. What are your speakers? | |
| Tube cd player What’s your budget? First thing I thought of reading your post was CAL - California Audio Labs. If you’re looking for vintage find a CAL Alpha or Sigma DAC... Alpha much better but come up a lot less. The Delta was the matching transport.If you’re... | |
| Who makes great active preamps ? Tube or solid state or hybrid. ModWright. Maybe not expensive as others noted but for the money they’ll keep up just fine and embarrass many. Beautiful build and great company to deal with. | |
| Speaker wiring question I’m sure Nordost has no idea what they’re talking about but I use the positive leg to the bottom and negative to the top and then jumpers. On my system it does make a difference.i don’t use Nordost speaker wires but I have WyWires and Clear Day an... | |
| what replaced your Aerial 7B speakers? Egglestons are great speakers but they’re not going to offer anymore low end in a room that is 16ft deep than a pair of 7b’s. A 16’ deep room is going to go down to 35 Hz and that’s about it, which for most of us is fine because unless you’re list... | |
| Refurbished Bluesound Vault 2 Couldn’t get the Bluesound App to do anything but I figured it out. I was seeing my network but needed to apparently be plugged into my WiFi router which follows after my Cable/Mediacom router. Switched that first thing this morning and as soon as... | |
| Refurbished Bluesound Vault 2 Just added my Refurbished Vault II to my system and so far very happy. Not sure what refurbish means but all seems there and the price was great. First hooked it up directly using its own DAC using WyWires Silver IC’s to preamp and not bad. I’m su... | |
| Where to Purchase New Tubes for Audio Research Preamp? n80 I’ve had great luck with Cryoset. Original LS16 I believe are 6922 where the MK II went to 6H30. If you’re tubes are original you probably are ready. Unless you’re looking for the best NOS just spend the money and get a new set as they’re not ... | |
| what replaced your Aerial 7B speakers? Yes. From your electrical panel box to your wall receptacles. If you can run a dedicated circuit so no other receptacles (wall outlets) or lights are on the same circuit/breaker to your system.Your amp requires all the juice it can get to run to i... |
