| CD Transport VS Streamer I’m going to be doing a lot of listening a/b comparing today but it isn’t looking good for the cxc.The transport / cd should def sound better than the bluesound so I don’t know whats going on here. The highs on the cxc (and the cdt) are rolled of... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) Dude, you’ve got a great room apart from the ceilings. I’d change the whole orientation Brother. You need to set your room up long wise, if that makes sense.Is the room strictly yours and mainly for listening purposes?you should set your equipme... | |
| CD Transport VS Streamer @georgehifi, so what I’m hearing you say is the cxc is a better transport?I was thinking about the digital coax cable as well. In my comparison between the node and the cxc I am using the same cable... I’d like to be able to get this sorted out o... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) @kenjit , do you get your shoes custom fitted to your feet? How about your pants? Shirt? | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) Being sensitive to bright speakers isn’t a bad thing. Many people like bright speakers because at first, and for shorter listening sessions they have more sizzle. I think many manufacturers voice their speakers this way because in a short listen... | |
| CD Transport VS Streamer Thanks everyone! I know, the transport should better the bluesound, thats why I’m at a loss here. Do you think this cxc just needs to burn in? I’m thinking about the vault. Is it a streamer as well? Whats the best way to rip files to the vaul... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) Some 244 or 242 panels above your speakers will help a little bit. Your issue is that you are sensitive to overly bright speakers. If you go dyns, try to get something with the esotar tweeter, not the esotec. I’m not sure that you have enough p... | |
| Best route to go for new dac? I was in the same boat a few months ago. I was also using a red dragonfly with jitterbug.I ended up with a Schiit Gungir multibit, used for $850. I would recommend some schiit dac or the mhdt. Schiit is built in CA and their dacs are modular so... | |
| Beginner question...want good streamer under $1000... Grab a refurbed node 2i! The app is great, you can also cast via bluetooth, which also sounds really good. The dac in the bluesound is pretty decent and you may actually prefer it over the dac in your teac. Refurbed 2i should be around $400-$45... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) Its my opinion that you just find those speakers too bright. Your ap cables are neutral or warm in my experience with them.You ought to get 2 gik 244 or 242 panels and hang them on the ceiling above your speakers.Cables, room treatments, speaker ... | |
| You know you are an Audiophile when: -None of your cables touch the ground, or each other-when someone asks how much a certain component costs, you divide the cost by 75% and their response is “wow, thats expensive”-your outlets are medical grade and cryogenically treated-you take in... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) Interesting. I didn’t realize there were 2 different satori BE tweets. I just looked at mine and have the neodymium instead of the ferrite. Whew!Hilde, BE tweeters are awesome! They are detailed like the metal domes you have been listening to ... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) Hi Hilde45! Good to see where you are at in your speaker journey. Thanks for keeping us updated.The new Carrera BE’s use the same tweeter as the Salks you have coming. They offer loads of detail without being too bright. They’ll need to be burn... | |
