| Walk me thru upgrading from my BS Node AURALiC is the only option if you insist on a purely wireless one box solution. If you’re open to adding a WiFi extender or mesh network with an access point close enough to your system to be able to use Ethernet cable to wire the streamer you’re... | |
| Mofi Studiodeck with Mastertracker v Sota Comet v I have MoFi UltraDeck with Hana ML cartridge and it’s a really good set up. MoFi tables are solid and feature Delrin platter and adjustable HRS feet. Great sound and easy to set up. If at all possible step up to UltraDeck. I never had or hear... | |
| Power cords or power conditioner @wheelndeal1099 don’t let anyone tell you what you will hear. Go ahead and explore it for yourself. If you do or do not hear an improvement, you know you tried and move on. | |
| Power cords or power conditioner @avanti1960 @secretguy Excerpt from the Pass Labs XA30.8 manual… Power Cords: Pass Labs provides a power supply cord that meets all legislated requirements for the market in which the product was originally sold. If you choose to substitute ... | |
| Power cords or power conditioner @secretguy I believe you, and I think you’ve formulated your statement in the best way possible when you stated I have yet to hear a power cord make a difference I don’t doubt that at all and I think that’s totally cool. Many reasons why that ... | |
| Question about assembling my own DIY AC Cable Don’t overthink it. No need to know the molecular breakdown here. Use good connectors and you’ll be fine. I suggest contact enhancer mainly to prevent oxidation on bare wires over time from the remnants of oils left from your fingers. Deoxit will... | |
| Question about assembling my own DIY AC Cable Yarbo looks like a nice cable. Are you sure you want to use those cheap plugs on it? I’d go for something like Furutech, Neotech, Oyaide or Wattgate. | |
| Question about assembling my own DIY AC Cable I also like SonarQuest rhodium plated connectors. Good quality and they sound good. | |
| How to connect my Cell Phone to my DAC?!?! Not trying to be a smart ass here but when you hit play on your phone Spotify app, does it actually play anything and if it does did you try raising the volume on your phone? Sometimes the volume defaults to zero. Also check Spotify settings make... | |
| Question about assembling my own DIY AC Cable I used bare wire split in two for my Furutech FP-S055n with FI-50 NCF build connecting the wires to clamps. It’s easier to insert and clamp down. Be careful cutting thru insulation to not cut the wires. When you twist the wires I would recommend u... | |
| Power cords or power conditioner I would start with speaker placement and room acoustics. What’s on the floor between you and the speakers? Place an area rug if you have bare floors. Move speakers to be about 4ft from the front wall. That should deepen the soundstage. Treat f... | |
| Looking for a streamer/DAC If you’re planning on using Roon and streaming services like Qobuz and or Tidal, look into Bricasti M3 with Network card, Weiss 501 and PS Audio Direct Stream Digital (DSD) with network card on a used market. These aren’t wireless but with an exte... | |
| Does a turntable make a DRAMATIC difference? @rvpiano I think I can add my $0.02 here since some of the components are similar. I’m using Hana ML with Sutherland KC Vibe Mk2. When I purchased the Hana my digital front end was Lumin U1 Mini and Benchmark DAC 3 HGC. Turntable is MoFi UltraD... | |
| Zavfino Here’s what I’ve got… I’d say the Arcadia are worth a shot for sure in this price range. I’ve been throwing record after record on (using them between my Sutherland phono stage and Pass preamp) and I’m really digging the Arcadia. On the phono sta... | |
| Zavfino ARCADIA MK2 vs FUSION MK2 @curiousjim AQ Colorado was the other cable I considered. Never got around to trying it. I’m posting my updates and observations in the Zavfino thread |
