After 20 years, in the market for a power amp Orchard Audio is running their StarKrimson ganfet amp on tour. Listen for free in your system for 7 days then ship it to the next person on the list. With 500 watts per channel at 4 ohms there is plenty of power and the dynamics are amazing. It is... | |
Supratek Owners Thread @nymarty I also bought the aluminum, 2 button, learning remote for the Chardonnay. Picked the black one with writing. Mine has a tiny circuit board mounted learn button with LED. I installed the batteries and programmed it while the back was still... | |
Capital Audiofest Coming Up! @reubent the last Midwest Audio fest was the 1st show I attended since CES moved out of Chicago. Two friends went with me. First time we Missourians ever had Kewpie Burgers. It was a thrill to meet Dr. Bruce Edgar, hear Supravox field coil speaker... | |
Drinking Songs playlest... What am I missing? Here’s one for you @thecarpathian. Hollywood Vampires - My Dead Drunk Friends. Couldn't figure out how to get YouTube link to post here. Thanks, aldnorab | |
D amps bernal737 don't guess, try a great class D amp. Orchard Audio is running an amp tour. Join the list on their website. Listen 7 days and and pay shipping to next person on the list. Then post a small review. After doing this I bought an Orchard Aud... | |
Lumin D2 or Aurender N100H Love my Aurender N200. It sounds amazing and the app is very easy to use. One of my requirements was that the component didn't feel like using a computer. The Aurender does a great job of operating like a piece of hifi equipment. Highly recommend ... | |
SnubWay Question Thread What is the difference between Snubway and Main Street? Thanks, aldnorab | |
Solo streamer @rvpiano the DAC3 must be darn good, it is letting you hear how special the Aurender N200 is. I'm interested in your thoughts on the new USB cable. I'm happy with the lowly Supra 2.0. I'll probably weaken and try their upmarket Excalibur one day. ... | |
Solo streamer @rvpiano I considered an A200 instead of N200. Then I read this thread: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/aurender-a200-vs-n200. Dealer says A200 is like a N150 streamer sonically. Aurender also said N200 sounds better. Thanks, aldnorab | |
Solo streamer Anyone using any kind of isolation feet/platform with the Aurender? Thanks, aldnorab | |
Solo streamer @rvpiano there is something else you might try. Your CJ preamp is capable of 20 volts output. The Benchmark amp has three gain settings. Try setting the Benchmark gain to a lower setting. Hopefully it isn't already at the ~2v setting. Krell has be... | |
USB DACs that outperforms OPPO 105D's internal DAC? @ihcho I have the Oppo 105 no D. I access songs quickly, via phone, using the Oppo app. I run the Oppo digital out to an Ayre Codex DAC. Recently bought an Aurender N200 streamer. It sounds better than the Oppo hooked to the same Ayre DAC. Probabl... | |
Solo streamer @audphile1 glad you have the DAC back. @rvpiano I turned CLM on when the N200 first arrived. Before break in was complete, it sounded better with CLM. Not so sure now. Using Ayre Codex DAC with Jenving Supra Ethernet and USB cables. CLM off is bri... | |
Why SACD Disc playback sounds better than its equivalent ripped DSF file / streaming @asin what if you use the Oppo 105 rear USB input? It sounds clearer than the front one. Thanks, aldnorab | |
Solo streamer @rvpiano that is a great reply. Many companies wouldn't even bother to answer. This makes me wonder if Tidal offers alphabetical sorting? Thanks, aldnorab |
