| Acoustic Zen - Hologram ii vs Satori @j_andrews I had both but it was a long time ago. I remember Satori was better but it still retains the warm sound signature of AZ. Have you considered introducing AZ Silver Ref II between your source and preamp? That will open the top end a bit. ... | |
| Advice? Luxman C-900u vs. Pass XP22 vs. Ayre kx5-twenty Either Pass XP-22 or Audio Research Ref5SE or Ref6. Good synergy with Pass amps. | |
| recommend PRAT Integrated amplifiers (not Naim) CODA CSiB gets rave reviews and is Class A biased for the first 18 watts. Looks like a nice integrated https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650070791-coda-csib-integrated-amplifier-warranty-until-feb-2028-excellent/ | |
| Suggested Power Cable for Streamer jhnnrrs 72 posts 02-23-2024 at 10:31am @anotherbob Sorry, mate, but I do not believe there was ANY objective change in the sound. Subjectively...well, the brain can be a trickster, can't it. by far my favorite part of cable discussi... | |
| Suggested Power Cable for Streamer I’ll add…completely forgot…I swapped the connectors on the Puritan Classic for some Furutech and it improved the sound. It’s not the best power cord but it’s not the worst either. | |
| Suggested Power Cable for Streamer @mclinnguy @bluethinker my system never sounded bright except in two instances - 1. Ultimate on PSM156 2. Shunyata Alpha v2 NR on amp I used AQ Hurricane on the PSM156 and it was smooth and I liked it better than the Puritan Ultimate. I ac... | |
| Suggested Power Cable for Streamer @bluethinker I use Nordost Heimdall 2 on my Aurender N200 and have had good results with AQ Tornado as well. But…I think upgrading the cable on your power conditioner will give you a better ROI since it will impact all of the components plugged in... | |
| Knockoffs- how can they just advertise so easily? @mclinnguy lol | |
| Best power cord for Audioquest Niagara 1200 I will say AQ Dragon and reason it with it being the best power cord AQ makes and the OP had provided no budget restrictions. If we’re talking real world for Niagra 1200, the Hurricane or even the Tornado would do. Keep in mind, the power cord de... | |
| Some Cables Thoughts 👍 | |
| Knockoffs- how can they just advertise so easily? I’ll add that AQ power cords are made in china. Hurricane included. If we follow your theory the Hurricane on Aliexpress is a “surplus” run produced at the same factory where AQ makes their cables. I’ll also re-ward my censored post…it is the peop... | |
| Knockoffs- how can they just advertise so easily? Well my post was removed so your response is now orphaned Jerry. But I do wonder why my post was deleted and the entire thread promoting fake cables on this site is still up and running. Just curious… https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/counte... | |
| A quick question on what streamers to consider....... Auralic (Chinese) and Bluesound (Canadian?) have wifi. For Aurender and Lumin(not simple to use due to their UI) you will need Ethernet access point and cable. I was going to recommend Roon Nucleus but that’ll require Roon subscription and there’s... | |
| Knockoffs- how can they just advertise so easily? So that shunyata power cord and box look pretty real including the signature on the label of the connector. But real thing isn’t what you’ll be getting. What’s sad is this will potentially end up on USAM or here and be sold as a genuine item caus... | |
| Streamers: Lumin U2 vrs Aurender N200 I believe it. Well good that you could return the U2. It’s all about synergy. |
