| dac and streamer or seperates One other thing, the OP had posted a specific question. Derailing the discussion is bad form. Stay on topic. | |
| dac and streamer or seperates @russbutton most of the seasoned audiophiles here have experimented with different streamers, DACs and network components. FTPing files and knowing how to do checksum in Linux does nothing for your credibility when it comes to audio. There is plen... | |
| Really Long XLR @bigtwin LOL no of course I didn’t expect the Mogami to sound like the AZ Absolute Copper. It was more of an experiment to see if the benefits of freeing up space between the speakers can outweigh the differences in cables. I gave it enough time t... | |
| Really Long XLR @bigtwin sounds like a good cable and has good connectors. Keep us posted on how this cable evolves | |
| UPS Driver Literally Drops Package with New Hana Umami Red @cbl117 Do you know how many times this box was dropped without you seeing it? Don’t obsess over this. Knowledgeable dealers will have the cartridge surrounded by a good amount of foam and or bubble wrap in addition to the cushion provided by the ... | |
| Audio Research LS2SE tube buzzing Shouldn’t be buzzing. Have you tried swapping the tubes to move this tube to another socket in a preamp and see if the buzzing follows it? | |
| 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... |
