| Amps for B&W 805 Diamond: Rogue Audio or Krell, Pass labs, ML, Accuphase @soix 👍 Something else to add… One downside with Pass labs gear, if you can consider it so, is the fact that it takes about an hour minimum for their components to warm up and perform at their peak. It isn’t exclusive to pass however in the cas... | |
| Phono Preamplifier Redux .. Damn This is Getting Expensive Pass XP-17 has XLR out | |
| Phono Preamplifier Redux .. Damn This is Getting Expensive Also, think about where to position the equipment rack - between speakers with all components close to one another gives you an opportunity to buy short cables of better quality vs. setting up on the side wall and running cheaper and longer cables... | |
| Phono Preamplifier Redux .. Damn This is Getting Expensive @vonhelmholtz 👍 best to hold off and set everything up properly on the rack either between speakers or on the side wall. Like I said earlier, the ML is a phenomenal cartridge. Also, the 20/20 is a great piece. Don’t go buying anything on impulse.... | |
| Lumin how do i get next song in playlist??? Yup Lumin app sucks. Great streamer though. Some say the Lumin app experience is better on a tablet but I never bothered. If you stream Tidal you can use Tidal connect. If not, I’d suggest giving Roon a try. | |
| Phono Preamplifier Redux .. Damn This is Getting Expensive @hdm I have Sutherland KC Vibe II set at 60db gain, 200ohm load with my Hana ML. Hana recommends >100ohm but to your point, there’s no harm in trying and may be worth a shot for the OP. One other thing I discovered with the ML is it’s super se... | |
| Amps for B&W 805 Diamond: Rogue Audio or Krell, Pass labs, ML, Accuphase Have to disagree with @soix here. The Pass Labs XA series is more refined than the X series. Let’s not confuse refined treble with softness. I’ve owned both X and XA. There is no softness in the treble region with the XA30.8. It breathes life, de... | |
| Phono Preamplifier Redux .. Damn This is Getting Expensive The Hana ML is an incredible value. It excels in tone, detail and soundstage.  To beat it you’ll probably need to spend 2-3x more for the cartridge. Funny how we chase this…I’m in the same boat. My analog set up (MoFi UltraDeck/Hana ML/Sutherlan... | |
| Which Cable Makes the Biggest Impact? IMO… 1. Power cables - for power conditioner, amp, source components 2. Speaker cables 3. interconnects 4. digital cables (whatever the connection method…USB, ARS/EBU, etc.) 5. Ethernet cable to streamer  All with a caveat that you have ... | |
| Power cord for Bricasti M3 @benzman correct. I was asking about what filter you were using. Linear or Minimum | |
| Power cord for Bricasti M3 @benzman I’m also running Ethernet direct into M3. Roon Core on Mac Mini that is located in another room.  My settings on M3 are Minimum 1, NDSD DSD.  | |
| Power cord for Bricasti M3 @benzman I have Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper connecting the M3 to preamp as well as preamp to amp. Sounds great! @mdrone which inakustic? The 2404 Air?  Also, I’ve been running my M3 with the Linear 0 filter engaged this whole time. Last night... | |
| Power cord for Bricasti M3 Curious if anyone tried Audioquest Hurricane on Bricasti. | |
| Upgrade from my Audio Research LS7 to a remote control model? LS-16 | |
| Which Ethernet filter? @wsrrsw +1 Less is more. @lollipopguild Eno is very good and is enough to take care of filtering out garbage that lives in the analog signal traveling thru the Ethernet cable messing up our listening experience. Any time you think you need to add... |
