| Acoustic treatment Carpet or rug is a good suggestion. For me, I heard the biggest improvement besides bass traps when I treated the first reflection points on the side walls with diffuser panels. Actually, GIK sells stuff that acts as a combination of diffuser and ... | |
| Sonus Faber speakers Olympicas will scale with better equipment. I heard the Sonettos a few months ago. Not bad for HT or mix usage. But when the dealer played the Olympica Nova ii with higher end ARC amplification there was no contest. The Olympicas are more refined ... | |
| A pleading request to manufacturers of amplifiers and preamplifiers. There have been a few reported cases of unintended circumcisions. | |
| A pleading request to manufacturers of amplifiers and preamplifiers. Well, we did ask for killer amps. And watch out, if you’re over 6’5” don’t ever buy an amp that’s supposed to be a giant killer. | |
| Best Server To Run Roon Core I was just going by what the ENO manufacturer says on their website:"A unique (patent pending) passive filtering system which plugs in between your network switch or router, and your streaming device."AFAIK, EtherRegen is not passive but I could b... | |
| Best Server To Run Roon Core It should be placed between your router and Nucleus. | |
| Did someone complain about the price of Uptone EtherRegen switch? @thyname -- did you see the youtube review by ASR's Amir where he compared EtherRegen with a $20 TP-Link switch and found zero differences in his usual measurements and graphs? I can almost imagine the frenzy amongst the "i-only-listen-to-graphs-n... | |
| Wolf Audio @thewolfaudio -- Joe, it was indeed a pleasure talking to you. I think the key point that resonated with me the most is the upgrade path that your platform provides. Many of us don't want to invest huge sums in streamers upfront, but want to 'feel... | |
| How would you describe the sound of Luxman vs. McIntosh SS integrateds OP: Back when I was looking to change my integrated amp, I listened extensively to several McIntosh and Luxman models. On the McIntosh side of the house, I auditioned MA252, MA352 (at Magnolia), MA8000 at a local seller’s house, and MAC6700 at ano... | |
| Wolf Audio @thewolfaudio -- First off, congratulations for crafting such great products. I hear nothing but the highest praise from several members here and other forums. I checked out your website but not sure if you build a specific type of product that I'... | |
| Best Server To Run Roon Core @newtoncr -- it was actually I who asked about the differences between Lumin U1 and Wolf Audio. Thank you for the detailed comparison. Very helpful, and sounds like you’re thrilled with the server. I was seriously considering Lumin U1 at one point... | |
| My MA252 saga @skypunk -- interested in reading about the comparison between the Pathos InPol 2 and Blackhawk. I don't want to hijack this thread, but hopefully you can start a new one. | |
| Best Server To Run Roon Core @newtoncr -- I’ve heard a lot about Wolf Audio but never had the opportunity to audition their equipment. I would appreciate it if you can describe the improvements over Lumin and Innuos especially in terms of sonic abilities. Lumin is a well know... | |
| Best or Most Interesting Speakers Yeah that opticalRendu is a great product. I recently tested the Lumin U1 in my system, courtesy of my neighbor, and we both agreed that the opticalRendu does a much better job of reducing the noise floor at half the price. | |
| Newbie HiFi Headphone & Amp pairing suggestions I think you will be very happy with the Brooklyn Bridge and Audeze combo as they compliment each other very nicely. I only recommended RME ADI-2 because I felt it was a better value, but not necessarily better sound quality. The Brooklyn Bridge co... |
