A cable too perfect? @zlone run them in for 200hrs if they’re new. Keep in mind your amp needs to be on when breaking the preamp to amp interconnects. And keep in mind you changed one of the key components, an amplifier. What worked with your old amp won’t necessarily... | |
A cable too perfect? I owned pretty much every AZ cable from WOW to Absolute Copper. The AZ Absolute Copper are detailed but warm sounding cables. They’re slightly slow sounding and I wouldn’t pair them with warm sounding equipment. Even though I liked them I prefe... | |
Boulder 866 experience? Users? There’s no lack of bass in my system with 866. @rexie sounds as if the 866 might not be a good match in your system | |
AB testing of power regenerators?? Ever do it? So are we calling bullshit here or we’re letting the entertainment play on? | |
AB testing of power regenerators?? Ever do it? Only thing I can come up with to explain the fascination with clean power in first grade is he attended first grade when he was well into his adulthood. | |

AB testing of power regenerators?? Ever do it? Ever since the first grade I've been fascinated by clean power and how it impacts my audio system. During recess I would escape to a nearby audio shop to see the latest Power conditioners and regenerators. Really? | |
System advice Well the problem was introduced with addition of Naim components. Don’t change speakers or cables. I would recommend focusing on the amplifier first. Amp is absolutely critical. Figure out the budget and start researching. For time being put your ... | |
No response from Aurender customer support Very surprised with your experience. But… There’s a Conductor app upgrade in the app store. Try it and see if it resolves your issue with disabling Spotify. As to selecting a streaming service upon starting the app I personally don’t see a big d... | |
Looking for advise regarding Rogue M180’s What’s your budget for speakers? | |
Looking for advise regarding Rogue M180’s 100% it’s the right thing yo do to send both amps in to Rogue even if you don’t move forward with the Dark upgrade (would probably make sense to do while amps are in the shop and parts are being replaced anyway). Keep us posted and good luck! | |
ifi LAN iSilencer I’ll test it again in the next few days just for fun. So far I’ve struggled to hear any difference with vs without. I’m sure it makes a positive difference in some systems. May be my Aurender N200 and Purist Ethernet combo is resilient to whatever... | |
ifi LAN iSilencer @mikhailark You wrote I love reading Nelson Pass. One of the best engineers making great gear. He obviously does not try and alienate potential customers with $$$ but he did say quite a bit about expensive power cables :-) can you please prov... | |
Changing the 6550 power tube in a Audio Research Ref 6SE Preamp @inagroove I highly recommend Upscale Audio. Bought enough tubes from them over the years. Just get the ARC grade. | |
ifi LAN iSilencer @mikhailark couple of things here…. 1. I agree with you that essentially what the iFi is doing should be part of a well designed streamer. And it probably is and hence the reason it makes absolutely zero difference in my system. However, I do not... |
