| Spatial X5 speakers I have the newer M3 Sapphires @ 4ohms 92db and yes they love tubes but found they love tubes with power. Although the X line has a powered sub, the M3 Sapphire is completely passive. I felt those 15” woofers needed some muscle. I’m driving mine w... | |
| Audioquest Angel vs Synergisitic Research Atmosphere Alive @femoore12 I of course was thinking speaker cables first and then do IC's and finally PC's but everyone I asked emphasized Power first! Dedicated Line if you can. I went through the spectrum Fuses, HFT's etc. The Powercell 8 UEF SE is just amazi... | |
| Audioquest Angel vs Synergisitic Research Atmosphere Alive @guakus I have used both Audioquest and Synergistic Research. I now have the the Atmosphere X Level 1 Loom which is the combination of PC’s, Interconnects as well as their Powercell 8 UEF SE. the matching IMO was significant in terms of dynamics a... | |
| Help with Cartridge choice +1 for the Art. I have the ART9xa as well as the Hana Umami Red. While their price points are significant the AT is a beautiful sounding cart. | |
| New turntable That is a decent budget, Is that to upgrade everything? You should check out Acoustic Signature. Their DoubleX might be to your liking and budget. I have the TripleX with the Umami Red. I had the Hana SL before and just loved it but the Red is jus... | |
| Best Phono You've Heard Under $2200 @hifi59 I just ordered the 9.0X . I also have a pair of Siemens E188CC/7308 gold pins coming. Curious, Did you upgrade the PC or Fuse. I don't see anything listed about fuse value or if it's even worth doing. Thanks | |
| Brian Eno's Turntable Design @billwojo Yes I get it. After looking at it closer it's probably more of a gimmick 🙄 I'll stick with mine | |
| Spatial X5 speakers @tyray I'm using IsoAcoustic Gaia II's. They made amazing improvements on my hard wood floors. Low end is tight and dynamics are stellar! Yes, currently the M3's are 6 ft across and approximately 8 ft from my ears, toe'd in maybe 10%. They haven... | |
| Spatial X5 speakers @jaymark Congratulations and enjoy! I have the M3 Sapphires and they are so stunning! Best speaker I have ever owned! Yes they love tubes 😀 | |
| Puritan PSM156 vs. Synergistic Research PowerCell 8 UEF? @tommylion I currently have the SR Powercell UEF SE in my system and love it. I was looking for synergy with the rest of my SR-Fuses, IC's, PC's and SC's. I know the Puritan has great reviews and hopefully someone can chime in. I had read somewher... | |
| Best Phono You've Heard Under $2200 @hifi59 Thanks I appreciate that, many outstanding choices which is great for system matching. I think I’m very close to pulling the trigger on the Modwright. Looking at the Musical Surroundings, Bryston BP2 also the Icon. The dealer I’m working... | |
| SR Atmosphere X Levels- worth the upgrade? @ted_denney Thanks Ted, will there be levels for the SX line as well? | |
| Tonearm effective mass @yogiboy trying to understand this a little better with my Acoustic Signature 12” TA-1000 tonearm. Maybe I’m not seeing the right specs for the two cartridges I’d like to pair, Umami Red and AT-ART9xa. | |
| Synergistic Research Atmosphere UEFs level 1 vs SR Atmosphere X's level 1 I have the X level 1 after demoing them with the foundation cables. I felt there was a substantial improvement with the level 1 over the foundations. I now have the the entire loom of X’ PC’s and interconnects along with the Powercell 8 UEF SE and... | |
| Difference in sound between the RME ADI-2 DAC and the RME ADI-2 Pro DAC Yes additional analog inputs and also headphone outs as well. I have the FS version and added the Teddy Pardo power supply and absolutely love it. Don’t think there’s any difference in sound as it uses the identical chip set. |
