| Fleetwood Deville vs Wilson Sound I've never heard a pair of Wilson speakers that I remotely wanted. I own Deville SQs. They couldn't be any more different IMO. The Deville's are engaging, enveloping, and sound like live music. The Wison's are sterile and precise with exaggera... | |
| Ethernet Switch Recommendations Please In part, I think it depends on where you are trying to take your system. I have an EtherRegen and Ansuz X-TC on hand and have demoed the SoTM (with reclocker) in my system. The Ansuz makes the biggest difference and suspect your best option is t... | |
| New Generation Class D - AGD Audion Mkiii upgrade @dseltz I'm sure they are. Ralph has certainly been successful for a long time and probably has a great plan in place. I just love the idea of not having to send the amps back for updates and having the updates essentially delivered to you. | |
| New Generation Class D - AGD Audion Mkiii upgrade @atmasphere It sure is. That's why I ordered the AGD Audion Mkiii's | |
| New Generation Class D - AGD Audion Mkiii upgrade @atmasphere I understand but before International Rectifier got bought by Infineon, they were working on an audio solution. When that project got scrapped I believe Alberto bought all of the product produced to that point and began the process of... | |
| New Generation Class D - AGD Audion Mkiii upgrade I have a pair of the newly updated AGD Audions moving between my systems right now. They are spectacular, full-stop. I also have (currently) a Technics SU-R1000, a McGary SA1E, and a LTA Z40i to compare them to. You can chalk up things to whate... | |
| Technics LAPC (Load Adaptive Phase Calibration), That's what I kind of figured but wanted to throw it out there in case I was missing something. Appreciate the response! | |
| Hifi Rose RS250 vs RS150b I have not compared the two, but can tell you that the RS130 is a better streamer than the RS150b. There are obvious differences in the power supplies and parts in the 150b versus the 250. I would imagine that shows up in the final sound. | |
| Testing Ethernet switch As I said in POST ONE, if you are a believer, this thread is not for you. It is for those who do not understand the technology to be able to make up their own mind." 🤣🤣🤣. All post one did was announce you as a troll. | |
| Testing Ethernet switch "Hans said he had no idea what it could be, but he THINKS he heard it. One more time, an extra ordinary claim needs extra ordinary proof." Not even close. He has reviewed a number of network switches and filters and found significant differenc... | |
| Testing Ethernet switch Oh yeah, it's the placebo effect when the sound stage suddenly jumps two feet on both sides. That's really hard to discern 🤣🤣. Lists of "boutique" hardware at least demonstrate that my system is more than capable of revealing subtle (and not so ... | |
| Testing Ethernet switch These threads always crack me up, with some folks insisting other folks "prove" something all the while ignoring the actual reason folks are here (i.e., how things sound). Every network engineer suddenly also becomes an expert in psychoacoustics.... | |
| Horn speakers with Imaging? I owned Klipsch Forte III's and thought the imaging was a little non-specific. The Volti Razz I replaced them with were much better. I currently own both Volti Rivals and Fleetwood Devilles and both image spectacularly. Like any speaker topolo... | |
| Ethernet connection for best sound quality @akg_ca but you are utterly unqualified to do any test like that, so it is garbage. It would like saying I did randomized control trial of the weight loss drug, sure, I did it, but it doesn’t mean anything because I am not qualified to conduct su... | |
| Eversolo DMP A6 @willywonka Thanks for the update. It's definitely a great value, and I would jump all over the Master Edition if I was looking at some of the stuff from (as an example) Matrix Audio, which I've found really wonky in a number of ways. The Everso... |
