| Rega Mira program mode to change Gain Settings UGH! I am so sorry I totally missed this response! Thank you so much for taking the time and posting great complete instructions! I did as you listed and have it set to 1.25V for my Adcom GFA 555. Thank you so much again! | |
| Tweak Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps. No problem! I lived with someone for a few years in Santa Fe that is from the 'new age alternate health care' universe, and frankly it was maddening to feel like I was constantly being gaslit and bullshitted about things like this. Having said t... | |
| Tweak Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps. SCAM- always has been, always will be... do with your money what you wish. I prefer to use it to buy more music or see music live. | |
| Help with hiss @forestg just wanted to chime in when I saw your post. I noticed the same "hiss' coming from my Rega Elex~R integrated. I thought it was for certain my tube dac, but after disconnecting everything, moving the amp, and trying different speakers I... | |
| Small, Effective Subwoofers? I am surprised that you need subs with the Signature SEs as well, like others mentioned. My step father has those in his finished basement (large) and they fill the space perfectly with a Rega Elicit Mk4. I have the Legacy Studio HDs, and use a ... | |
| Tube DACs @macg19 I have a pair of Gold Lion and a pair of RCA Long Grey Plate aside from the stock ones that came with the DAC. The Gold Lion weren't anything even remotely noticeable in difference. The RCA I like the sound of, but there is a bit of brea... | |
| Tube DACs @macg19 I saw you recently added a Black Ice tube DAC into your system and mentioned rolling in Mullard tubes to really increase it's sound/performance. I've been struggling with finding the right tubes for my Black Ice: the balance of 'quiet' v... | |
| Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System Thank you @charles1dad for the response, and other replies. Learning a lot about the 'in house' side of getting things best established for streaming. I typically use wifi to stream from computer to Black Ice FX DAC, or to a Chromecast Ultra HD... | |
| Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System Total noob with this side of stereo and streaming, so hope I don't annoy anyone with simple questions. Is it better to have both the cable modem and the wifi router as close to your equipment as possible, or should the two be separated some dista... | |
| Under my tower speakers -- Isoacoustics Gaia, other options? Have you heard of or tried Herbies Isolation Pods/Pucks? I did some testing with them and without: nothing incredible but they did at least affect and improve a few specific Frequencies from my loudspeakers when I used them underneath. Also noti... | |
| Solid core OFC vs stranded OCC copper I prefer solid core OCC/OFC over stranded after testing a few brands and set ups. For some reason it performed better in my small modest system. I've tried Silver Sonic, higher end Audioquest, and lower end Kimber Cables. The best was actually ... | |
| Vandersteen 2CE Signature III — video review on YouTube by Steve Guttenberg (1/15/2023) "Toe-in is also important. When Vandersteens are properly set up, the performance is excellent." That's interesting. When my step father ran his 2Ce's, we did a fair amount of moving and testing and measuring in his listening loft, and toe in mad... | |
| 2.1 Stereo System for TV Listening I have a pretty small home, not "tiny home", but damn close enough. I use 2.1 since there is no room or anywhere to have a dedicated stereo listening room, and I watch a lot of movies and shows, and Youtube music/concerts/video, nearly equal to j... | |
| solid core VS stranded for inside speaker cabinet Danny/GR Research helped me upgrade and better tune an old set of Epos ES12 speakers a couple years ago: new crossover parts, wiring, sound deadening material. Solid core wire worked great. I also have solid core speaker cable/wires from the amp... | |
| Best sounding CD player Just wanted to throw my .2cents. I absolutely love my Pioneer Elite PD-65 modified by Musical Concepts. It's an old 90s CD player that has some awesome components, a ton of copper use, and super solid platter transport. The DAC chip set, higher... |
