| Revopod vs IsoAcoustics Gaia 1's +1 on the Townshend. Game changer and very easy to adjust the rake angle on the speaker. I adjusted the Persona 5F a few degrees up and really opened up the stage and speakers really fill a 27 ft long room | |
| Experiences With Costly Balanced XLR Interconnects Above $3,000 Try the Iconoclast UPOCC 4x4 Gen 2 about 2300.00 No restocking. They even pay return shipping. Absolutely not one cent out of your pocket if you return. Get the 5 ft. Cable is stiff and you may need the extra length. Bob from Iconoclast a t... | |
| Blue Jeans Cable Iconoclast Here ya there.. Townshend Fractals are just a few smidges below and they will work with you on a good price. I have their Fractal Speaker wires and Podiums and they make good stuff. | |
| Blue Jeans Cable Iconoclast I have a pair of Iconoclast UPOCC Gen 2 4x4 XLR’s. Expensive but was a great match in my system. Only interconnect in my rig so that’s why 2!00 did nor seem so bad for pretty close to state of the art They will send you one to try. If you don’t ... | |
| 10 k speaker setup. 5.1 They ended up going with Paradigm 120 H , 90 cc , x10 sub and 300 surrounds. Should sound pretty good!! | |
| 10 k speaker setup. 5.1 Thanks for the input. I have put together a few high end 4.1 systems together with a phantom center but have always had a spot in the sweet spot. I have Persona 5 F’s now and people come over they look for a center speaker. Anchored dialog and sea... | |
| Looking for intermediate-step Streamer: better than BS Node and not @ Bartok level pricing Used Bricasti M3/w streaming card. Always available 3500-4,000 depending if you need a remote. Run it from the XLR outputs to take advantage of its true balanced design. I run an EtherRegen with an LHY OCK 2 clock and took it up a few mote notch... | |
| Bricasti M3 vrs Meitner MA3 Forget the laptop. The Bricasti sounds much better using the Ethernet connection. It is very simple once you get it down. Your dealer will walk you thru the process. Hardwire the Bricasti. On your phone/tablet download Mconnect or any other UPNP... | |
| CD/ SACD advice needed Been thinking about the Geerfab. Most reviews just say that it works. Not much about SQ. most posts on Audiogon have been removed so anybody that owns one would you consider it a audiophile component? I sold an Oppo Modwright 105d and now just h... | |
| Bricasti M3 vrs Meitner MA3 Congrats on the Bricasti. Mconnect works well and sounds to me as good as Roon Great company to deal with as they pick up the phone. Spend a few bucks on a medium rated power chord. Audience Au24Se MP works well with the Bricasti. Good lu... | |
| Bricasti M3 vrs Meitner MA3 Are you running a preamp or integrated? No need for a remote if you are using a pre. If you are running straight to your amps than you will want a remote I have always ran with a pre. I took the Bricasti M3 to my buds last week and ran it directl... | |
| Bricasti M3 vrs Meitner MA3 I have a M3 and a retailer who sells both says it’s basically a toss up considering the rest of the system. The MA3 can play attached local files where the Bricasti can’t so that could eliminate the need for a Nas or server. That might be a big d... | |
| Time To Upgrade My Digital Front End As Mentioned maybe look at a used Bricasti M3 streaming Dac. 3500-4000 depending if you want a remote. Since you have the Coda pre probably no need for one. Get a real decent XLR cable to take advantage of the Bricasti/Coda’s balanced design. If... | |
| Aurender integrated streamer/DACs I had an A10 which is the predecessor to the A200. It’s not going to get much better. Aurender will always sound good and never fatiguing but will not get you the utmost in resolution or transparency. Send it back why you have a chance. I had the... | |
