| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 @swede58 as I mentioned previously I borrowed Nordost Tyr 2 speaker cables to compare to my current speaker cables, Audience FrontRow. I also borrowed Tyr 2 USB cable to compare with Audioquest Diamond that I currently use in my system. My current... | |
| Do I Really Need a Dedicated Streamer? @dunkin what’s the rest of your system and what chord dac is it? | |
| Subwoofers - Final Thoughts with Martin Logan ESL 13A I wouldn’t sell any components if I were you. You may regret it. Try a sub first from the dealer that has a good return policy (Music Direct, Upscale, Crutchfield). You can use the Coda preamp to drive the sub(s) if you have 2 RCA outs. See how it... | |
| Subwoofers - Final Thoughts with Martin Logan ESL 13A You can feed the sub from your preamp RCA out if you’re using XLR outs to drive the amp | |
| Front Row Seat Power Cord? @laginz Happy Holidays!!! | |
| Front Row Seat Power Cord? 1971gto455ho 496 posts 12-09-2024 at 06:22pm Dear steakster, Do you feel derogatory terms flat-eathers, naysayers etc fill in for the lack of even Debateable proof ? Learning something new is great, hocus-pocus is nothing but a joke. Re... | |
| Subwoofers - Final Thoughts with Martin Logan ESL 13A @rauliruegas thank you for the compliments sir. A pair of Martin Logan Montis with powered woofers were the speakers I replaced with the Sabrinas. I don’t disagree with what you’re saying. Problem is, every room is different. Every listener is ... | |
| Subwoofers - Final Thoughts with Martin Logan ESL 13A The M1 as network player. My Coda preamp is up for grabs as well. I'm using the M1 for that too. I like separates the most, but I want some decent subs as well, so it's a bit of a tradeoff. I encourage you to spend a very good amount of time ... | |
| Subwoofers - Final Thoughts with Martin Logan ESL 13A Running the main speaker’s full range and augmenting the lowest frequencies with the sub(s) is the best of both worlds. @ozzy +1 subs used to boost bass will just completely break a good setup @navyachts definitely try a sub but I’m sur... | |
| Subwoofers - Final Thoughts with Martin Logan ESL 13A Also…check the filter settings on the DAC. I find the Minimum 0, Clock Wide to produce a bit warmer and fuller sound than the Linear 0. The difference is subtle but audible. | |
| Subwoofers - Final Thoughts with Martin Logan ESL 13A @navyachts balanced sound is key. Too much bass and it overshadows the mids and highs - you lose clarity and details. Not enough bass and your system will most likely sound bright. Use the flashlight trick for the toe in with MLs. I would still re... | |
| PS Audio BHK signature preamp @signaforce keep your RCA cables just in case. If and when you get around to try Coda I would recommend trying it with both XLR and RCA. Reason for that is Coda’s low input impedance on the XLR inputs. It will most likely be fine but I would not a... | |
| Looking for High Quality Streamer Only Options (NO DAC)? Bricasti M3 is an excellent DAC but the network renderer is just not great. Use it as DAC only. | |
| Looking for High Quality Streamer Only Options (NO DAC)? @jbhiller there’s a used Aurender N200 on USAM. Great streamer with excellent UI and customer service. It made a huge difference in my system going from Lumin U1 Mini and my DAC’s network renderer as streamer to this unit. I have no affiliation w... | |
