| Audioquest thunder vs tornado HC powercords These power cords emphasize low end but it comes at a cost of sacrificing clarity and top end extension. This is the sound signature no matter the component that’s powered by these cords be it a dac, preamp, amp or streamer. If you like dark sound... | |
| Audience Front Row vs Cardas Clear No idea how these Cardas speaker cables sound. But I compared Audience Front Row to Audience AU24sx, Furutech DSS-4.1 and Nordost Tyr 2. The Front Row is still in my system. The only thing I can tell you is I really like the Front Row speaker ca... | |
| Is there a ROON sound? @reimarc just compared the same Dire Straits track (one kf my favorite DS songs) using same Qobuz album played on my Aurender N200 streamer using it’s proprietary DSP controlled via Aurender Conductor app to using the N200 as a Roon end point. All... | |
| Aurender Qobuz connect Update your conductor app and the N200 firmware. I just installed the updates and started testing Qobuz connect with my N200. | |
| CD Player Distortion? Make sure you have all noise generators away from cables - no source of EMI or RFI near these cables. Routers, power cords, amplifier transformers, etc. You can still try old cables now that you hear what was missing you might be able to pick up o... | |

| CD Player Distortion? Wavering? Can you describe exactly what you’re hearing? | |
| No one talks about Purist Audio Design cables. Yeah it’s a shame. To beat the Aqueous it took a much more expensive Audience speaker cables. | |
| A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks Hahaha was just busting your chops Curious how the audience cables will sound in your system. | |
| A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks I counted four dots @immatthewj just sayin’… hey so what did you end up doing? | |
| Piano high notes very bright Changing speaker positioning can reduce and even eliminate this problem. If your speakers are spread too far apart and are close to the side walls it can cause this issue due to how your speakers interact with room acoustics. Try moving the speake... | |
| Ethernet Filters @alan60 I recommend you try iFi into network extender then from there use a really nice Ethernet cable into your streamer. I use this iFi gizmo and I can tell you it doesn’t harm anything. In my system it doesn’t improve anything either but it’s c... | |
| No one talks about Purist Audio Design cables. The Neptune power cord resulted in very dark and rolled off sound. I used to own Aqueous 20th Anniversary speaker cables for years and yes they were warm sounding but resolving and articulate at the same time. Very musical. I think the liquid shi... | |
| No one talks about Purist Audio Design cables. I use Purist Cat 7 Ethernet cable. Really like it. Tried the Neptune Diamond Revision power cord and hated it. | |
