| Hi current or source power cable That I don’t know but do know that source cords aren’t recommended by AQ for use on power amps or power conditioners. But your question was around using high current cords on source components. And that is completely fine. | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference You’re good at taking things out of context what I said was… you are most likely a beginner in this hobby or someone who’s been around for a while but dismissed listening as a critical, viable and valid means of evaluating audio components and c... | |
| Hi current or source power cable Why not try and make the determination by listening? Use the cord that works the best. Hurricane is really good. | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference Have I been drinking? Yes. Tea. And some seltzer before that. | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference @mdalton I don’t misrepresent your point. You have multiple posts here where your opinion is clear. The streamers going into DACs measure the same on the dac output, you throw the measurements card around again with your statement about Auralic st... | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference I never said measurements don’t matter. Judging by several of your posts, you are most likely a beginner in this hobby or someone who’s been around for a while but dismissed listening as a critical, viable and valid means of evaluating audio compo... | |
| Hi current or source power cable I tested 3 power cords on my Aurender N200 streamer. Furutech FP-S55n (10awg), FP-S032n (12awg) and AQ Tornado High Current. I preferred the heavier gauge cables. Currently using the AQ Tornado HC. AQ Makes “source” version of Tornado and Hurrica... | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference I had Rogue RP1 preamp that retails for around $1600? I bought it used for about $1200. I had Audience OHNO ( oh no…) interconnects on it initially then upgraded to Acoustic Zen Matrix Ref II, then to Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper. I also put a No... | |
| Ribbon cable inside amplifiers @donavabdea you have posed this same question on the why cables matter thread and I think in few other places as well. You’re beating a dead horse. The discussion here is ribbon cables. Those are used for non-audio-essential tasks such as control ... | |
| Ribbon cable inside amplifiers @daledeee1 yup about an hour to come to temperature and start to really sing but even cold my X260.8 monos sound great. | |
| Ribbon cable inside amplifiers I ran XP12 and XP22 with XA30.8 and X260.8. Good synergy. Recently compared XP22 and Audio Research Ref6. The ARC preamp is a good companion to Pass amp, but you’re sticking with solid state…so Pass is a good choice. | |
| Ribbon cable inside amplifiers Ok. Not trolling. Nervous. I get it. How does the XA25 sound? | |
| USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC I’m glad you liked the M3!!! I also knew you would. 😂 Let it all settle. If you like the Mirage, just keep it. Like I said before, it’s decent. As to Audience StudioOne…they say it’s a replacement for the AU24SE+. That’s what the rep told me whe... | |
| Ribbon cable inside amplifiers oh man…seeing Erik defend Pass I had to pinch myself to make sure I was awake…just kidding… @silverfoxvtx1800 stop trolling. Angela amps looked interesting to you but Pass Labs amps look odd because you saw a ribbon cable? You don’t think it’s od... | |
| Have Luxman 509x. Considering Pass Labs INT-250 or Dan D’Agostino Progression Integrated Hey @erik_squires I’m fine with what you’re hearing. No need to flare up. You hate Pass. I get it. And you’re making it abundantly clear every time you see the brand brought up in a discussion. I guess you can call me a Pass fanboy. I’ve owned s... |
