| Which Ethernet filter? @p05129 agreed on good components. Very important! However, a good filter like the Eno or an internet switch like the EtherREGEN can help improve sound further. In my system the Network Acoustics Eno helps relax the overall presentation smoothing ... | |
| Which Ethernet filter? I started with Fibre Optic converters similar to what’s shown on the Green Computer website but ftom amazon and much cheaper (looks like it’s the crap). That did improve some things and it gave me a taste of what’s possible. I started this post to... | |
| Need recommendations for a streamer AURALiC Aries G1 is wireless, has AES/EBU (balanced) output and used costs less than $2500. But….you can get a WiFi access point and wire a non-WiFi streamer. Now you have many more options to consider. I use EERO access point to wire my network ... | |
| Need suggestions on efficient book shelf speakers for a Pass Labs XA3.5 @puffbojie not ideal especially if the source end is RCAs. Pick up a pair of balanced Mogami Studio Gold cables from Amazon. Give it a shot and if you’re still not happy, just return them and start checking out other speakers. I have a feeling thi... | |
| Has anyone compared Lumin the U1 Mini to the U2 Mini? Well there you go! The reviewer loved it and heard a substantial improvement over the U1 Mini. So could be worth a shot!!! | |
| Need suggestions on efficient book shelf speakers for a Pass Labs XA3.5 @puffbojie Benchmark DAC 2 with built in pre? I would seriously consider a good linestage to go with the XA30.5. I just sold my Benchmark DAC3 HGC that I tried as a preamp for few days (it was sold due to a DAC upgrade and not because preamp in it... | |
| Magico A3 vs. Wilson SabrinaX @mheinze mheinze… The A3 is a much better speaker, objectively (See reviews and measurements). Yeah you’re right. If the reviews and measurements say it’s a better speaker than it must be true… Also, yes you’re right on point - It was the $... | |
| Need suggestions on efficient book shelf speakers for a Pass Labs XA3.5 @puffbojie ha! I drive Wilsons Audio Sabrina with XA30.8. Your XA30.5 is 30w into 8ohms in pure Class A at lowest distortion rated by Pass Labs. It then switches to Class A/B and delivers around 130w/ch. You know it’s in Class A/B when the needle ... | |
| Magico A3 vs. Wilson SabrinaX @mheinze I’m not familiar with lyngdorf design but I can’t imagine it contributed to the sound that much especially when we’re talking about cabinet artifacts. Also, I don’t see any threads on any forums titled magico haters. Do you? But here i... | |
| Magico A3 vs. Wilson SabrinaX I auditioned the A3s (associated electronics were Lyngdorf integrated and very high end cables) in my search for a new pair of speakers. I found them to sound dark, closed in, lacking air and sense of space, with boomy bass. They lacked life and I... | |
| Streamer creates a Wow experience @soix hey that’s awesome you’re in love with your new set up! Enjoy it!! When are you getting a DDC? Keep the thoughts flowing…update us here on how that changed the sound. | |
| Batteries in my Audioquest Colorado RCA interconnects @cinqcepages in my experience I always got the best results with the best interconnects between pre and amp. But…bottleneck’s a bottleneck no matter where it is. | |
| Network Players and External DACs @gregorybraun that’s an awesome cd player! Going with ARC DAC is a good approach. Or if you can find a used ARC CD6 it features usb input so you can run your streamer or laptop directly into it. | |
| Shostakovich Fifth Symphony It’s a masterpiece. Thanks for this post @mahler123 One of my favorite versions of the 5th is Rostropovich with London Symphony on LSO. For those who are getting into Shostakovich, his string quartets are absolutely amazing! I was lucky enough... | |
| how much should I spend to get a better turntable than my current turntable? @ghdprentice +1. You don sound like you feel you got your money’s worth. Earlier I recommended Rega P2 set up by Upscale. You can’t go wrong there. |
