| Warming up digital in my setup Using iPhone to stream music is most likely your culprit. The DAC in the parasound integrated can’t be that terrible. Get a decent streamer, good usb cable and good power cord for your integrated and you should be ok. | |
| Ethernet - Analog/Digital Signal Clean Up @mitch2 cool. Yes definitely try. I found Eno on its own, without switch before it, to be better than with switch/Eno combo. In my system, to my ears. Agree with @lalitk based on the testing I’ve done, less is more. | |
| Going to Build Intel NUC Server Fan or Not? @tuberist How are you connecting fibre optic to Weiss? | |
| Zavfino ARCADIA MK2 vs FUSION MK2 I had mine settle between DAC and pre just left it streaming 24/7. Using now on Sutherland phono stage. I like the Arcadia so far. Bit more speed and texture in bass and slightly more extention/air on top wouldn’t hurt but then we’re talking abou... | |
| Zavfino ARCADIA MK2 vs FUSION MK2 Give them a solid 100hrs I would say. What are you connecting with these? | |
| Zavfino ARCADIA MK2 vs FUSION MK2 @behzad I have the Arcadia and they need some break in. Bass is boomy right out of the box and top end is soft. Give them at least between 50-100hrs of break in and they begin to improve. They will open up but I believe in general they’re are poli... | |
| Ethernet - Analog/Digital Signal Clean Up @mitch2 did you try without silence angel and gigafoil, just go from router to N.A. Eno. What’s the positive change you hear with these 2 units before the Eno? | |
| Is this a audioquest cable counterfeit fake? @bishop55 is it defective as in not working? Or is it working but you suspect it isn’t authentic? This much isn’t even clear. The negative feedback the seller left you hints at a possibly offered option to authenticate this cable. But at this poi... | |
| Is this a audioquest cable counterfeit fake? They don’t authenticate anything using pictures. They do physical cables only and if they find it’s a counterfeit the cable is destroyed. They’re doing the right thing by killing it so it’s out of circulation. | |
| Is this a audioquest cable counterfeit fake? To be honest, it is puzzling… The seller has 4 pages of feedback and it is all stellar except your one negative feedback. That seller is dealing cartridges, cables, whatever. I’m not saying anything here except that it makes no sense to me that t... | |
| Is this a audioquest cable counterfeit fake? You can go thru PayPal assuming you used services and goods option, or another similar type of payment. And continue to work with Audiogon. If this seller sells fakes he/she needs to be at least banned from the marketplace. Also you can post t... | |
| Is this a audioquest cable counterfeit fake? AQ Diamond Unboxing Video Another unboxing Work with the seller first to try and obtain proof of purchase. Ask the seller about covering cost of shipping to AQ to confirm authenticity if you can’t get the necessary documentation proving it. I... | |
| Power cord for Bricasti M3 I have AQ Tornado on the way. It’s either going to end up on M3 or on my preamp. | |
| Weak Link in chain as I upgrade from mid-fi? Focus on the room first. What can you do to improve your room acoustics. As you go up the food chain in audio you will find the room play a bigger role than it does with low/mid-fi gear. Just something to think about. | |
| Amps for B&W 805 Diamond: Rogue Audio or Krell, Pass labs, ML, Accuphase @truongv0ky it’s pretty common for any component to take some time to start sounding its best after it’s on and out of standby. It will sound just fine when it’s cold but will get even better after about an hour is what I’m saying. It isn’t propri... |
