| WiFi Streaming Versus An Ethernet Cable Connection @cagma7 I use EERO exactly the same way you do. If you can hardwire directly from the router, definitely give it a shot. Otherwise, get a good ethernet cable for EERO to streamer connection and you are good to go. | |
| Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords? @rockadanny in my experience, with every CD player, transport and streamers I had in my system, a good power cord made a difference. | |
| Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords? @chocaholic I don’t think anyone needs to ease up on @jasonbourne71 @jasonbourne52. You got this backwards - he is actually the one ridiculing everyone else. He’s nothing more than a gum on a shoe with every power cord discussion. Look at his fo... | |
| Best way to clean glossy finish on speakers? I use Chemical Guys microfiber towels (yellow) on my Wilson Sabrina. I only remove dust. These towers are super soft. I don’t use sprays or water. if I move my speakers I wear white cotton gloves to avoid fingerprints. When I had a Rega gloss blac... | |

| dac and streamer or seperates @asmithkash I’ll give you a bit of a different answer. If you love the sound of analog, which is natural “unprocessed” sound, you can do equally well with separates or a one box solution. For separates, streamers to look into are Lumin - great sou... | |
| Pass Labs 1st Watt Rundown @tonydennison there’s a nice XA30.5 on USAM here This would be my choice in the $3000 price range, now that you’re talking Pass Labs amps here, before any of the First Watt offerings (and as a continuation of your other thread). I’m not saying it... | |
| Budget preamp recommendation...besides Schiit. Rogue RP1 is very good. Build quality, sound, responds extremely well to tube rolling and cable changes. As an added bonus, it sports a very good Phono stage. | |
| Need help from you acoustical experts @traudio excellent advice from @newbee, @erik_squires and others. You have to give the speaker positioning suggestions a try. Move them out into the room more, i.e. the suggested 4ft from the front wall (behind speakers), listen. Then spread them... | |
| WiFi Streaming Versus An Ethernet Cable Connection I wouldn’t switch to the Bryston WiFi dongle. Either go hard wired from router or use mesh network. In either case, before getting into audiophile switches I would suggest a good quality ethernet cable or a passive filter (+1 @lalitk on Network Ac... | |
| Watermelon test for audiophiles! I send all the watermelons I buy to ASR to get a solid measurement on the frequency response of a tap. If ASR says it measures great, then I’m sure it will taste great as well. | |
| Speaker and Cable Suggestions Please @diminishedchord hook up VSi75 with your speakers. It should have no issues driving the Arias. You can experiment with 8 or 4 ohm taps and land on whatever sounds best. Get a baseline for the sound you’re getting. The Aria 926 are pretty competiti... | |
| Cool feature on Pass X260.8 Mono Amps @blackbag20 no change in sound @curiousjim I believe all Pass .8 series amps have these trimpots for Light and Meter. | |
| Speaker and Cable Suggestions Please What source and interconnects are you using? | |
| Speaker and Cable Suggestions Please I’m beginning to think I should just get better cables and bid my time, use my Focal Arias, and wait until I can better afford a more appropriate speaker for my room. It’s just that my trade-in value for my Arias is never going to better than rig... |
