| Vibration isolation or absorption? I have spikes under all of my floor mounted speakers into a concrete slab subfloor. Under my center channel speaker, I use springs which sit on my central equipment rack. You can find them on Amazon for around $30/set. These bettered other anti-vi... | |
| PS Audio Power Plant P3 to P12 I owned a P3 and almost immediately upgraded to the P12. I used the P12 for a few years and I really didn't know why I was never totally thrilled with my system. I made a ton of other changes during that time, so I thought it must have been my new... | |
| Fiber to my Etherregen… Sonore OM or generic? @peter_s Yes, buy a fiber optic switch with at least one copper copper port. Attach an LPS to it for less noise generation.I have a few Mikrotik 10G switches and a QNAP 10G switch. The QNAP has 8 copper and 4 fiber ports. Any port can be used as i... | |
| Fiber to my Etherregen… Sonore OM or generic? @j_andrews wrote: "What is the benefit of buying a Sonore Optical Module over a TP Link or other consumer level FMC?" Supposedly they induce less noise. But I am uncertain if that noise (or the difference in noise between genetic and oM) is a... | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream MK2 DAC I've owned several PS Audio products and never experienced hum with any of them. However, I did experience hum with a Pass Labs XP15 that I had on demo. I tried everything to remedy, including a very long run of RCAs to get it away from everything... | |
| Legacy XD series for tube amplifier thoughts I have owned Legacy since the late '90s. A few years ago I was looking for a change in sound. But during the height of Covid, it was nearly impossible to listen to a few contenders that I had picked out because stores were basically abandoned at... | |
| FAVORITE POWER CABLE under $100 (1M) I honestly wouldn't waste (any more) money on sub-$100 PC cables. I have many including ones from Maze, AQ, Iceage, Pangea and many unbranded Chinese made PCs. None offer anything more than the stock PCs. Pangea actually sounds worse due to soundi... | |

| More Bass @navyachts I am willing to bet his 'audition' was a YouTube video 🤣 | |

| Focal Sopra 2’s vs. Legacy Focus SE’s If you have no way to audition them, I would recommend going the safe route. Like I did with my Focus SEs and I have zero regrets. | |
| More Bass Two things that strike me about this thread. One, Legacy speakers are never light on bass. Two, they also never sound bright (with ample electronics as you seem to have). I have owned Legacy speakers for 25 years - exclusively. I've had OG Cla... | |
| Focal Sopra 2’s vs. Legacy Focus SE’s I love the Focus SEs. And paired with Ayre electronics, they have superb synergy. I have owned mine about 2 1/2 years and I really wanted to listen to the new at the time Magico A5s, but it was impossible to find a place to demo them. Magico refus... | |
| How much does a DAC do the more expensive it is? A little update on my A/B comparison between a PS Audio DS DAC Mk1 ($6800) and an Ayre Codex ($1800 new?) w/ both being fed by an iFi Neo Stream (I²S to DSD and USB to Codex). I was using Roon, as I always do and the Neo was using fiber from NUC ... |
