| Musical Surroundings Phonomena II+ -OR- Moon 110lp v2 -OR- Parasound ZPhono XRM Phono I had the Vibe MkII. Upgraded to 20/20. A nice step up from the Vibe. Same smooth and natural presentation but more detailed, quieter and more engaging. If you can find a used 20/20 and can swing it, you won’t regret it. FWIW, I was using a low ou... | |
| Interconnect advice needed @simna you will sacrifice on cable quality with a long run of XLRs. You won’t be happy. The long cables you will get for $1000 are overpriced cheap pair of 1m interconnects. I have experimented with a long 15ft run of Mogami Studio Gold. Spent se... | |
| Musical Surroundings Phonomena II+ -OR- Moon 110lp v2 -OR- Parasound ZPhono XRM Phono Try Sutherland KC Vibe MkII. Quiet, smooth and natural sounding. No harshness there at all. | |
| Considering A New Streaming DAC (Pick 1 of 4) I’m running the Bricasti M3 as a one box solution with Roon and like it a lot. So I’m partial to Bricasti. I also use the XA30.8. Both the Bricasti and the Pass sound better when run with XLR cables. Just wanted to mention this to you. Your other ... | |
| Bought the Chord Qutest. Love it. Hate the power supply. Sure. Try ASR. | |
| Bought the Chord Qutest. Love it. Hate the power supply. Nick…I owned Qutest for some time and liked it a lot. Rob Watts knows what he’s doing. Don’t soup up the Qutest. If you want to spend money, spend it on next level DAC. | |
| Fuzzy playback Bang for the buck or bang your head against the wall while trying to figure out which one of these crappy connections is the culprit. Sounds like may be time to refresh some of this stuff as opposed to curing it with deoxit. Don’t need to spend a ... | |
| Puritan PSM156 20A US version. | |
| OCC and Litz wires - Furutech Alfa series, Neotech, Cardas @sasho reach out to Chris (vh audio). He is a dealer for both furutech and neotech. His recommendations are always spot on. | |
| For the first time... @simao endless pursuit. Analog and digital will most of the time sound totally different. Few ways to deal with it - continue upgrading both digital and analog (you will end up doing just that because every upgrade presents a possibility of pus... | |
| Speaker of My House…! Can you audition any of these speakers? May be bring your amp and pre if the dealer doesn’t carry ARC. You aren’t really going to buy based on the recommendations here I assume. Also, you’re talking heavy speakers. You sure you want to move a 240... | |
| Worth upgrading my cables? I’d focus on room acoustics and speaker placement first. As far as cables go, I’m familiar with the 4S11 speaker cables since I own and use a pair of these. They’re nice and warm sounding. Not the latest word in transparency and soundstage but a... | |
| Musical Surroundings Phonomena II+ -OR- Moon 110lp v2 -OR- Parasound ZPhono XRM Phono @grislybutter sounds like a set up issue. Did you use a good protractor to check your cartridge alignment? Overhang, zenith and VTF are pretty much the only settings you can change with the Rega P3 if I’m not mistaking. Make sure your overhang is ... | |
| Help. System sounds thin and bright or harsh Sounds like you need to add sub(s) and treat your room or get full range speakers and treat your room. Also, if you toe your speakers in directly at your listening position that usually makes the highs sound more pronounce. Try less toe in. But mo... | |
| Whats the ultimate goal with your pre amp ? @krelldog I’ve not yet heard an active preamp that didn’t color the sound. If you ever ran your source direct into your amplifier at unity gain vs it going thru an active linestage, you would most likely hear flatter, colder and more analytical so... |
