| Where to place your best switch? @fthompson251 network acoustics have a new switch called Rubicon. I assume it was developed and tested in conjunction with their Eno and Muon filters so might be worth reaching out to them for a consultation. | |
| Hesitant to upgrade my phono cartridge @paulgardner what settings on the phono stage are you using right now? Gain and loading. I upgraded from EL to ML. I noticed improvements in noise, resolution, soundstage and imaging. The overall sound did not become brighter at all. Just more o... | |
| Fleetwood Sound Company - DeVille Loudspeaker. I’ve heard the original non-SQ version. Impressive soundstage and imaging. That’s their strength. On the warm and laid back side. They did really well with acoustic jazz. Weren’t great with rock even when supplemented by subs. Just not enough bite... | |
| Im looking for the next upgrade. I'm not real sure which way I want to go Help! @pvmike I owned ML Montis and heard 11A and 13A several times. I would describe the sound as smooth, never in your face. The presentation is pleasant but does not excite nor is it extremely engaging. It’s more about striking the balance and keepin... | |
| Where should I go from here with my digital front end? @emil LOL Glad to hear it made a difference. The drop in the noise floor is in line with what I experienced in my system as well. Now you can add a better Ethernet cable like that Purist I mentioned or another good cable of your choice and take ... | |
| Isolated ground versus self ground outlet For the outlet recommendation I posted on your other thread recommending Furutech. For a 4 outlet run you can combine a gold plated and rhodium plated…compare them, or run amps off rhodium and source off gold, or the other way around, or even comb... | |
| Isolated ground versus self ground outlet The type of ground was answered. Now what are you asking? A four outlet receptacle as in a single quadplex type vs. using a pair of duplex outlets? Or running a line and installing a box that allows you to run 4 outlets as opposed to running a sin... | |
| Power conditioner vs use of a audio grade outlet? Look into Furutech GTX-D. These are top of the Furutech line and feature pure copper base with either gold or rhodium (regular or NCF). Power is key. Don’t plug your system into a garbage outlet. | |
| Any thoughts on Pass X150.8 ? @panerai557 without a doubt good move. | |
| New TT vs Cartridge/isolation upgrade Check out Goldring E3 in that price range. Great cartridge. | |
| Do Costly XLR Cables Make A Difference? @lalitk that’s exactly the next step I plan to take. Position components in a horizontal fashion between speakers as low as possible. | |
| Do Costly XLR Cables Make A Difference? @jaytor … I could not discern much difference between relatively inexpensive cables (e.g. Mogami) and more expensive cables for these short connections, but the differences were much more apparent with the 7M connections. I believe it. The m... | |
| Power conditions for Integrated Amps +1 @lak hearing it in your system is the only way to determine what it does | |
| Too Much Gain the Issue ? (preamp and amp) @avanti1960 good! Nice effort to make it work!!! It’s an excellent amplifier. | |
| Where should I go from here with my digital front end? Here’s the thing with the fibre optic conversion…it’s resilient to the EMI and RFI after the signal is converted into fibre optic, however the converter modules themselves introduce their own garbage into the signal. In my system it manifested its... |
