| Chord Qutest——>No difference @teh_chucksta 2v was the best setting in my system when I had the Qutest. I’d recommend to run and listen to the Qutest for at least 2-3 days with the DAC constantly on…do not unplug it. Once you get a hang of what it is doing, switch back to BS. | |
| Reliable source for 6550WE tube - Audio Research Ref 6 Ended up ordering the EH 6550 from Upscale Audio. After 10 hours of “on” time, I like what I’m hearing so far and it’s an improvement over the stock Sovtek 6550. Now, that tube had about 2400 hrs on it and may be this is an improvement just becau... | |
| Please recommend decoupling footers for DAC Most of the components will react to power cord and interconnect changes. Doubt that this DAC is any more unique in this regard. Looks like you just don’t like how it sounds. I’d give it a full 200hrs of signal thru it break in time if it’s new an... | |
| Monster m 850 cable upgrades BlueJeans should do it. | |
| Monster m 850 cable upgrades @pureclarity Audience Ohno is a good deal and us better than the old monsters. Also, as mentioned above, DH Labs, Cardas. Audioquest is good too. Even the BlueJeans cables beat these monsters. But honestly, going’s into a receiver I wouldn’t bot... | |
| Monster m 850 cable upgrades Budget? And what components does the cable connect? | |
| POWER AMPLIFIER FOR LOW TO MODERATE LISTENING It’s a combination of everything. Your MLs are warm speakers with powerful bass, thanks to the powered woofer. CJ amp is also on a sweeter side. Amps that come to mind are SimAudio moon 760a, may be Classe amps too. I’d recommend also to take a l... | |
| Preamp for a Dan D'Agostino S250MxV Amp Both the ARC and the McIntosh will work. | |
| Preamp for a Dan D'Agostino S250MxV Amp If you’re not getting the matching D’Agostino preamp and are considering tubes, then ARC Ref 6 or 6 SE should be on your list. Sonically superior to McIntosh C2700. VAC is also up there with ARC. | |
| Puron Plug-In AC Power Conditioner; Impressions 😁 @verafiaudio does the Puron work on the same principle as the Furutech Clear Line optimizer? I sold my power conditioner recently. I just prefer how it all sounds plugged directly into wall but I’d be curious to try one of these plug in devices. | |
| Room divider @tattooedtrackman just add to your system pictures. And yes you really don’t want to create additional reflection points for high frequencies and cause the bass to accumulate in the smaller space. Don’t fix it if ain’t broke. | |
| Quality power question #2 Upgrade the phono stage, not the wall-wart feeding it. | |
| Room divider @tattooedtrackman be careful dividing the room. With large speakers you might end up overloading the space. Right now it’s open and has less sound quality impacting properties than a smaller room would have. Overloading is a difficult problem to a... | |
| Tube arch @jjss49 +1. A tube tester is also not a bad idea. The Ref 750 have 18 tubes KT150s and 1 6550 per amp right? That’s about $7,000 each time you re-tube both mono blocks, every 2000 hrs or so? | |
