I have perfected my network for the nth time @singingg interesting write up but it leaves me wondering…with all the time and money spent on using cheap cables and accessories, as well as components that require tweaks to this extent, it sure seems the whole is less than the sum of its parts.... | |
what preamp goes best with mccormack dna 500, follow up.... Your weak links, in my opinion judging by the components list, are your source and interconnects (AZ Wow). Heron is supposed to be a very nice preamp and DNA-500 is an awesome amp. I used to own DNA-225 and drove it with ARC LS-25 preamp and ARC C... | |
Best Digital USB cables under $ 300.00 ?? DH Labs Mirage sounded pretty good in my system. | |
About ready to give up on Roon and my streamer I’ve been using Roon for quiet some time and it’s been very consistent and stable. I I use Mac Mini 2018 as a Roon core and a Bricasti M3 with network renderer as a Roon end-point. There’s no variation in sound quality. What you’re describing soun... | |
Anyone else get burned Boltz Work thru your credit card and file a claim with BBB. That’s all you can do. | |
Best USB cable upgrade for around $1000 I’ve tried several USB cables with Lumin U1 Mini and Benchmark DAC 3 HGC. The best cable was the Audience AU24SE+. It was detailed, warm and natural sounding, which complimented the benchmark greatly. I eventually sold the benchmark DAC for the re... | |

Wall outlets @digsmithd I actually just replaced FI-28R on my FP-S32n power cord that’s on my DAC with FI-50 R and the improvement is beyond what I anticipated. Really nice across the board how it just opened everything up. | |
Wall outlets @celtic66 very nice! | |
Wall outlets @celtic66 what connectors are you using on your dps-4.1 cables? | |
Finding a Power Amplifier for Luxman C-900U I would pair that luxman preamp with the luxman m900u amplifier. Magico speakers love power and sound somewhat warm, if not a bit dark. Luxman amp would be a good match. If you want Pass amps, the X250.8 would do the trick. The Pass XA60.5 are Cla... | |
All ARC vs All Pass Labs vs All CJ system compare Is a national GPS day? As far as all ARC and all Pass Labs, different sound. I assume we’re talking about modern ARC and latest Pass gear. So it’s tubes vs. solid state. It’ll boil down to your personal preference. ARC, especially their Ref serie... | |
Base trap spacing @wolf_garcia GPS? | |
Wall outlets @vthokie83 that’s a smart move to keep the R outlet for potential future use. As your system evolves and improves, you will find the high frequencies get more refined. At that point there’s no longer a need to warm things up with a gold plated out... | |
Wall outlets To amend my earlier post, the outlets I have are the Furutech GTX-D NCF, not the regular GTX-D. |
