| New speaker cables - now audio seems panned right and left Not sure what you mean by panned hard right and left, sounds like the stage got wider. Give them more time, at least a hundred hours. | |
| Marantz SACD 30n vs Technics SL-G700M2 vs Mark Levinson 5101 Rotel does not play SACD. I have owned the 30N, it's a nice solid unit except you are stuck with the Heos streaming. | |
| HoloAudio STREAMER is out now @lalitk I totally agree, the user interface and associated complexities, is what seems to be a after thought for these manufacturers, and its the main reasons for keeping me looking and not committing to any right now. No one can seem to get it a... | |
| What's going on with Synergistic Research fuses? Well I won’t touch the fuse debate, although I do use HiFi Tuning fuses and some other cheaper Chinese ones, just for the hell of it. Here however is my solution to lightening and those fast on and off brown outs we get here in Florida, the light... | |
| Tube DACs If those dac manufacturers didn't expect it to be used directly to amps, they should just leave off the volume controls, no sense having the signal go through two analog stages, one good and one crappy. | |
| Denafrips Pontus 12th Anniversary There is a tread over at Audiokarma.org in the Dac forum with thus title. I heard the Most 'Analog Sounding' DAC in my Life The second page has a video explaining the differences, check it out. Sorry my link skill is lacking. | |
| Where do you stop? So you got silver speaker cables and interconnects, could you share with us the brands ? I am on the same silver experiment, I went with all Chinese for affordability incase it doesn't work out, but so far so good. Silver tends to give a tight... | |
| Boxes I keep every box my equipment comes in, even the small stuff like cables. Especially since I tend to change stuff frequently. | |
| Power conditioner wire gauge? Serious issue I recently upgraded my dedicated 20 amp line from my panel to the outlet, to 12 gauge from 14. Also changed the outlet from a hospital grade to a PS Audio. It was a good improvement, but now I still have another 10 ' of 14 gauge power cord ru... | |
| The 300B World AudioAsylum.com has a good SET forum and tube diy. Great info can be had over there. I just changed out my EH Gold after 14 years, for some Gold Lions, nice improvement. | |
| McIntosh preamps I am using a C47 with my 7270, and it's a great combination. I am thinking of getting a C49 mainly for the DAC upgrade, but now I also like the new MDA200, but haven't heard anything about how it would be as a preamp. | |
| Do I need 10 gauge power cord if I have 10 gauge from panel? If the tiny weeny wire in the fuse can handle 10amps, why can't a 14 gauge cable. | |
| McIntosh preamps Any Mac preamp will work nicely, it just depends on how much you want to spend and if you want tube or solid state. You may want to ask at the McIntosh forum at Audiokarma.org | |
| I have a conundrum with internet radio Why don't you try to narrow down the issue by hooking up the Cocktail directly into the Terminator with optical cable, and see if it works. That would tell you if it's the Gaia or the I2s. | |
| HiRes lossless FLAC Radio streams Here are my favorites, Jazz Groove KSDS 88.3 San Diego KCSM Jazz 91 All Jazz streaming on my ifi zen hires bluetooth, using my android tablet with Sony LDAC codec 24/96 to my McIntosh c47 dac. Sounds amazing, don't knock it till you try it. |
