| Bi amping my ML SL3 speakers +1 on suggestions to use one good amp and bi-wire the speakers. However… Few things to consider here - 1. The ML panels present more challenges to the amplifier than the woofers do. This is because the impedance on the panels can dip below 2ohms.... | |
| RCA is loose Doesn’t look like the locking RCA type. Sorry…it’s either the pliers or the bnc adapter. Or if you can swap it to AES cable that would be the option I’d go for. | |
| RCA is loose Also, if Reymio has AES/EBU input, I’d just switch to using that instead, with something like DH Labs AES cable…will be hard to beat. | |
| RCA is loose @johnah5 what RCA cable is it? Sure it’s not a locking typically and you just need to tighten it? | |
| Do I need a streamer? @whitestix I used Mac Mini as a streamer for quiet some time before upgrading to Auralic Aries G1 and Lumin U1 Mini. I’ve done several comparisons of streamers to Mac Mini and the Mac lost every time whether it streamed Qobuz or played files from ... | |
| DACs that do well without a preamp You’re not going to get a dac at that price that has a good volume control. I had a Benchmark DAC 3 HGC and lived with its volume control for few weeks when I was in process of switching preamps. In my mind, that’s the only use case, to get you by... | |
| Snake oil of the year? My dog pooping projects a more professional image than the wankers ripping this switch apart verbally and physically in this video. If you want to have a fun and productive discussion going, come up with a bit more interesting topic than this or g... | |

I don’t think that’s the source of your problem. The root cause is most likely your phono stage, that would be the unit picking up the RF. ... | |
| Mahler on vinyl - your favorite Listened to Mahler 4 with Bernstein. Can’t say that I like it. Will continue exploring other symphonies from the list above by Bernstein. @crustycoot no issues with pops and ticks they won’t bother me too much as long as they’re occasional and mi... | |
| Speaker Suggestions $30K Sasha DAW competitor? @plaw room acoustics - see my first response on this thread. If you don’t have that taken care of(didn’t see you talk about it here), you will be wasting your time and money. Best speakers, components and cables in the world will not make up for a... | |
| Mahler on vinyl - your favorite Thanks all! Listening to these on Qobuz and checking availability on used market. | |
| Should I get a Roon Nucleus? @jbuhl bump in sound quality from only changing roon core? I get the stability part though…. | |
| Which preamp to go with pass labs x150.8 I wouldn’t worry about the age of the unit and get either the Ref5 or Ref5SE if you want to try an ARC preamp. | |
| Speaker Suggestions $30K Sasha DAW competitor? Screechy highs are usually attributed to the following: 1. Lack of room acoustic treatment 2. Speaker placement 3. Associated equipment - components and cables 4. Combination of all of the above I have Wilson Sabrina and there’s zero harshnes... | |
| Should I get a Roon Nucleus? Oh…and take whatever it is you were going to spend on dedicated roon core, sell your bluesound node and get a good streamer. |
