| Cryongenically treated in-wall AC power wire +1 freediver. I don't know anything substantive about cryogenic wire. | |
| Interested in listening to Antipodes. @mitch2 The DX 3 will not have the CX's High Power V4H Circuit For Server Apps, enables demanding Roon DSP functions (according to the Antipodes website). Having said that I highly recommend the DX 3; and your plan sounds intriguing. | |
| Hum in Sub Probably a ground loop hum. Is your sub plugged into a different circuit than your turntable? | |
| DEQX Final Config and impressions... @toddcowles I had my expert session with Larry Owens earlier this month to help maximize my new DQX Premate's performance in my room. First, I did so under the home audition program, which is great. Second, when I set it up myself I was pretty und... | |
| Incoming ... Joseph Audio Pulsars @prof Thanks for the clarification. I'm guessing that your desired finish is sapeli or rosewood? If so I'll keep my eyes open for you. Mine are sapeli and they are a beautiful finish. I think white would be a hard resell, probably why the really g... | |
| Incoming ... Joseph Audio Pulsars @prof Rich, hope you are well. I may have read your post incorrectly. Did you buy a pair of Perspectives or decide to forego buying them because they were white?RegardsAl | |
| Cardas Clear Beyond Power cords 500+ hour update--The XLs continue to perform as described in my earlier post except that now I would say that the XLs do have a slightly wider soundstage than the CB; this came back at about the 400 hour mark. Based on what I have heard in my sys... | |
| Rookie Question, maybe Welcome to Audiogon. You are going to find that you will get a variety of opinions on any topic or question you post. I consider that a good thing, but as you can see you already received two different answers that could have you going two differe... | |
| How much is MQA conversion? @cleeds "The real power today is in the hands of content creators."Not exactly. Alas, the real power today resides in the internet digital distribution providers--no search engine, no recorded music. Technology distribution is not democratized--se... | |
| Interested in listening to Antipodes. I just spent some time reading Antipodes' website (which has recently been significantly overhauled) regarding their current lineup. According to Antipodes, the best in class scenario is buying both the CX and EX, and linking them via ethernet cab... | |
| Does anyone have any experience with Bryston amps Another way to say it is that Anthem and Paradigm are made in Canada by sister companies and are probably "voiced" to compliment one another nicely. The amplifier/preamplifier/speaker combinations that yield different "sound" are legion. You are p... | |
| Upgrading speaker cables... Well OP you got every answer possible--they won't make a difference, they may make a difference, and they will definitely make a difference. FWIW it is a hobby...spend a little money and see what your ears tell you. No one else posting here is goi... | |
| Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference? I have a Purist Audio Design CAT7 Ethernet cable running from an Orbi satellite into an Antipodes DX3 music server. The difference from the "stock" ethernet cable is discernible. If someone couldn't hear the difference in my system I would questio... | |
| Sub-Woofer? Understood. A subwoofer used appropriately won't shake the floor much. Instead, it will provide seamless extension from your mains. RELs do this very well.Happy hunting!RegardsAl | |
| Sub-Woofer? @gasebose There is a REL-R-328 for sale today for $600. The listed retail price of $2700 seems wrong to me. I recall it being something more like $1800 or so. But, $600 is a good deal if it is truly a 9/10. I own two of these, use them only for mu... |
