| Replace Macbook into Oppo with Lumin T2 for streamer/DAC? Depends on the rest of your system. If your system has any brightness at all the T2 will be fatiguing over timeGreat player in the right system but you may have to work at it to get its best | |
| Audioquest Fog Lifters I like mine on the Siversmith Fideliums speaker wire. Ribbons so they don’t fit on typical elevators. Work perfect in this application. I hear an uptick in SQ. For less than 1% of system value I like them. | |
| Paradigm Persona 3F vs 7F I love my 5F’s with a swarm sub system in a 27x17x10 room. Odyssey Kismet reference monos give you all the power you need,200 watts but lots of current. I heard the 5f’s at Axpona with 1k Mac amp and they never strained in a banquet sized room. | |
| Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review Just ordered #2 podiums. My Persona 5f’s are now sitting on pretty darn good Combak Harmonix footers. I plan on using them with the podiums. Was the last thing on my mind but it’s been a good year for Realtors and life is short!! | |
| Former Cerious Technologies speaker cable users I went from the Matrix to Silversmith Fidelium. Works real well with my Persona 5f’s driven by Kismet reference monoblocks. The wire design of the Silversmith can be a pain to layout but the Audioquest Fog lifters do a nice job of keeping them el... | |
| New Cary DMS 700 Sorry I missed this. So 6,000 new vs 3,500 usedthe 700 does sound better. I would say 10-15%the 700 has a much better interface. But if you are using Roon it becomes a moot point. So if I was a Roon user and did not have a hi resolving system and ... | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration I have been enjoying my custom swarm( it’s on AK main page). Looks a lot better than the pic. Dual amps in a stereo configI basically set it up in my 27x16x10 room just as recommended. So many adjustments and I am not versed in computer calibratio... | |
| All NEW Paradigm FOUNDER SERIES...Could they be Paradigm's best speakers yet ? My wife’s cousin just received his 100’s. He is running Prim Luna electronics. Early reports are good. He also has Persona 3F’s so he should be a good judge. | |
| Underwood Hifi / Underwood Wally... Plus 1 on Wally. Give him a call. You will hear the waves crashing from his home in Hawaii. Good dude | |
| Wow. Just added the Lumin T2 to my set up... Love the Lumin T2 in the right system. Sounds like you have the right system!! | |
| Persona B in a 36 x 27 room? Depending on your seating position. I have a set of 5f’s that I heard at Axpona with a 1k watt McIntosh amp fill a room larger than that. Your amp will be your weak link not the Personas. A swarm sub system would be your best bet. | |
| New Cary DMS 700 Definitely upgrade the power cord. I have an Audience au24se MP on mine. You probably can upgrade for a couple of hundred. Check out the used section. A medium rating is fine. You do not need one designed for power amps. I threw a SR orange fuse i... | |
| New Cary DMS 700 I went from the 600 to 700. 700 sounds better all the way around. Much more defined bass and an improved midrange. Vocals with much more texture. The interface is much improved. If you are a Roon user I think there would be better ways to upgrade... | |
| New silversmith fidelium cable Breaking in the Cary 700 and the Silversmiths. I have the same setup. Very nice match. | |
| Tube pre w/ HT bypass? I have owned both a Odyssey Candela and Modwright anniversary as well as my current Rogue RP 7. The Rogue is a few steps up from the other two Try to find a demo or buy used for around 3k. |
