| Need cable advice tome reduces mids “within” the same system is what I meant to say…autocorrect had other thoughts obviously… | |
| Ideal power cord lengths? @nyev I just added a 1m Audioquest Hurricane powering my Puritan PSM-156 power conditioner and it sucks!!!! It’s causing me to stay up until 3am listening and I’m totally sleep deprived at this point. It must be the 1m length that’s at fault here ... | |
| Need cable advice tome reduces mids @dtapo so few thoughts on this… 1. Your earlier post on new amp causing fatigue. Amplification in question is Denafrips, correct? 2. Your Canare cables are neutral. They don’t emphasize any particular bandwidth or frequency range. They’re not the... | |
| how much should I spend to get a better turntable than my current turntable? Congrats on the Rega P3! This is definitely a turntable your system can grow around. Rega will start widening the gap with Fluance as your system becomes more resolving. At this price point it’s a solid table. | |
| Power cord for Bricasti M3 @benzman 👍 | |
| Zavfino The Arcadia RCAs are in! Letting them settle between the phono stage and the preamp. Initial impressions…improvement over the BlueJeans in the bass extension and quantity, fuller sound overall. I was afraid they’d be too zippy up top but it’s not ... | |
| 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 ... |
