| Rogue Audio. Reliability issues? Anyone? @nickrobotron Rogue customer support/service is solid. It’s worth sending it in. They will fix it and make sure it’s up to spec. I have owned RP1, RP5 and ST100. Rogue products represent great value but as with all tube equipment there’s maintena... | |
| Speaker Cables - AZ Hologram II = ??? +1 @soix Audience…either the older AU24 series or the newer studio one series. Or leave the AZs alone if you like them. | |
| Acoustic Zen Matrix reference II IC @stuartk keep listening. You need to get used to the new sound for few days, then put the old cables back in. The Matrix Ref II are very good cables that you can listen to for hours without fatigue. There’s going to be a compromise with every chan... | |
| Help with hiss What power issue would cause an audio component to hiss? We are still talking about hiss are we? Hiss as in ssssssss type sound. Not the hmmmmmmm sound. Correct? Amplifier or preamplifier hiss can go unnoticed or may not be as noticeable if you ... | |
| FAVORITE POWER CABLE under $100 (1M) @sunnyjim cut it out with your politics. Make Audiogon Great Again!!! | |
| EBAY MONEY BACK.......WHAT A JOKE ??? Use ebay help thru app or website and initiate a case. Talking to customer support is a waste of time. | |
| Help with hiss @forestg good luck cause this sucks! | |
| FAVORITE POWER CABLE under $100 (1M) $100 budget limit on power cable wouldn’t get you much. Wait until you are in a $400-$500 range. Making baby steps in this hobby is usually a waste of time and money. But…if you want to spend $100 now to upgrade the power cable just get the best p... | |
| Help with hiss Also, you stated the hiss is constant no change in hiss loudness with volume variations, that says it’s the amp. If the source for the hiss was upstream, the amplifier would amplify it, as it does with any incoming signal. So your amplifier is mos... | |
| Help with hiss Speakers do not hiss. Amps, preamps and source components do. Especially tubed ones. Disconnect your preamp from your amp and turn the amp on. If you still hear hiss thru your speakers. your amp is the culprit. If the hiss stops, power it all dow... | |
| Absorption, Diffusion or a combination of it all? Going back to the original discussion…a follow up… Got the first pair of Range Limiter TriTraps. Replaced a pair of 244s that were used as bass traps with Tri Traps. Moved the 244s to the first reflection points on side walls. There’s a very nice... | |
| Care to offer comparisons? Wilson, YG, Magico, Stenheim, Rockport, Audio Note @hilde45 thanks for sharing your thoughts! Interesting observation. It sounds like the systems you’ve auditioned were perhaps set up / geared more towards resolution and precision. I believe that can be changed by pairing these speakers with diffe... | |
| Care to offer comparisons? Wilson, YG, Magico, Stenheim, Rockport, Audio Note @hilde45 audition some of these and let us know what you think as well. | |
| Prioritizing Power Cable Upgrades by System Component. If you are starting with just one upgraded power cord.. amplifier first if amp is plugged into wall. Then power conditioner for source components with the second power cord upgrade. If you have everything plugged into power conditioner then power... | |
| Care to offer comparisons? Wilson, YG, Magico, Stenheim, Rockport, Audio Note I’ve heard Magico A3 and didn’t care for them. To me they sounded dark, veiled, boomy and the overall presentation wasn’t engaging. I couldn’t get into it. I could also hear cabinet artifacts when they were pushed hard. The sound reminded me of th... |
