| Auralic Aries G1.1 The only compatibility issues you may face is if the dac usb driver isn’t compatible with linux. Check with Lampizator for this. I had the G1 it was decent but I tried Lumin U1 Mini and preferred it over the G1 on sound quality alone. The UI on t... | |
| Allnic Audio A-6000 vs Pass XA 30.8 The XA30.8 probably ran out of steam in Class A driving those speakers and was working too hard. Is your room large? I had the XA30.8 and in Class A it was awesome no harshness. When pushed, things can change. In any case, the amplifier like XA3... | |
| Which Shunyata Power Cord? @aolmrd1241 I need to amend my earlier post. I thought it was the XC version but I double checked my email and my music direct order was for the alpha v2 nr in 1.75m. Sorry for the confusion. But it is the NR that turned my XA30.8 into a fatiguing... | |
| Preamp vs Av receiver preouts @sgoods555 the RP1 is a modern tube design. There’s no tube rush/hiss. I had no issues with it playing anything from string quartets to Slayer, Metallica and everything in between. It will be a very nice jump in quality of sound from your AVR. If ... | |
| Preamp vs Av receiver preouts Rogue RP1 tube preamp would be a very nice addition. You can find it around $1000 on a used market. The home theater input on the RP1 doesn’t require the preamp to be on so you don’t impact tube life while you’re war good a movie. | |
| Which Shunyata Power Cord? aolmrd1241 989 posts 12-16-2023 at 10:44am The XC series are to be used with power distribution /conditioners only... I don’t think so. It’s a high current power cord and is suitable for use on amplifiers. Which is where it was tested ... | |
| another rookie question - preamp or or power amp What’s the current integrated? | |
| Should I update my manufactures power cords? And you as well @bigkidz | |
| another rookie question - preamp or or power amp @grislybutter one tiny step at a time doesn’t get you the upgrade you’re hoping for. Unfortunately that’s true in this hobby. It will get you possibly something different but not necessarily better. Are the separates better than the integrated isn... | |
| another rookie question - preamp or or power amp Why not just upgrade to a better integrated? Parasound Hint for example. Or a Luxman. Hegel H190 is reasonably priced on a used market. You will probably get more bang for your buck that way. | |
| Which Shunyata Power Cord? Yep the last shunyata power cord I tried, Alpha v2 XC, caused listening fatigue. I ended up returning it. The older Python and Typan Helix Alpha cables that i had for years were more balanced but still not warm. Another alternative is Audience AU... | |
| Which Shunyata Power Cord? Also, Shunyata power cords aren’t warm sounding. If you want warrm, you’re not going to beat the Audioquest Hurricane used around $1000 for 1m. | |
| Which Shunyata Power Cord? For what component? | |
| Fleetwood Deville vs Wilson Sound Like most well established high end and expensive brands (B&W, McIntosh, ARC, Pass Labs), plenty haters out there. But who cares. Get what sounds best to you. | |
| Should I update my manufactures power cords? @bigkidz I’ll take you up on it some day may be after the holidays. I’ll stop by if it’s not too far of a drive from northeast jersey. |
