XLR cable recommendations needed
Thanks for bringing my attention to this thread, @vonhelmholtz. I was just thinking of you this morning, so we must be on the same wavelength. @audioman2015 - Definitely look at the DH Labs Air Matrix Cryo. A 1M should fall within your budget and... 
A Black Box to Solve Everything
@koestner It doesn’t solve your inquiry completely, but Modwright released his Analog Bridge about nine months ago. I was one of the beta testers for the unit. It is meant to be placed anywhere you desire, especially between preamp and amp if appl... 
Modwright PH 9.0X Tube Rolling Question
@scm I forgot to look into this for you, but I probably have something. Let me PM you and follow up with you tmw.   
Baffled by Pricing Strategy
I’ve raised a price on an item, typically within one hour of posting if I feel I listed it too low.  I’m not sure what others’ strategies are, but I can see a few reasons: 1. At the time of listing, there are perhaps other similar listings that ... 
Aurender Conductor app reliability and user experience
@robertkpax Glad to hear you had a positive experience. The N200 is a great unit, and I typically encourage my customers to pair it with a T+A DAC 200. That DAC has great musicality and bandwidth that compliments the Aurender N200 really, really w... 
Your experience with Synergistic Research Foundation SX speaker cables?
@tommylion Thanks for correcting me. I completely misread that you were seeking opinions on the Foundation SX. It is a pretty good cable that has some of the sonic signature of the Galileo series, but it is not as gripping and transparent or refin... 
T+A DAC 200 or WEISS 501
@thibaultgeoui You were curious about the performance of the MP 200 but also mentioned you don’t like that it has a CD player. I am a dealer for both T+A and Aurender and conducted a thorough evaluation of the MP 200, comparing it to the Aurender ... 
T+A DAC 200 or WEISS 501
@jasbirnandra The DAC 200 uses eight Burr Brown DAC chips.   
T+A DAC 200 or WEISS 501
@milpai The DAC 200’s preamp / volume control can be bypassed and set to a line level output. Most of my customers use the DAC 200 in this way, and only a few I know are using it for its preamp capabilities. The preamp/volume control is really qui... 
Aurender Conductor app reliability and user experience
I’m late to the game here. Aurender is a fairly solid experience, but it does not parallel or eclipse Roon as a user interface and experience. As mentioned above, there are some lack of capabilities (meta tag editing, lyrics, etc), but basic funct... 
Your experience with Synergistic Research Foundation SX speaker cables?
I own them, and purchased them a little over a year ago. I’ve been a big fan of their products, and I finally just became a dealer for them about a month ago.  @tommylion The Galileo SX speaker cable is a very interesting cable. Compared to other... 
T+A DAC 200 or WEISS 501
The DAC 200 can be set as a pure DAC as its volume control can be set to a line level output. I have demoed both and prefer the DAC 200, but take that as you will as I am a T+A dealer.  The DAC 200 has a wider bandwidth resulting in a wider, deep... 
A previous discussion included a statement about crossover components.
I’ve done this for both speaker crossovers and tube electronics. My favorite caps tend to be one of the following depending on what I am trying to accomplish: Mundorf Silver Gold Oil Audience Auricap XO V-Cap Obbligato Gold or Ultra Premium ... 
Primaluna EVO 400 pre amp
Fred - both units are actually quite good. The Primaluna will sound more articulate than the Modwright LS36.5, even with tube rolling, and the Modwright will deliver with more musicality and soul. If you are only being offered the 36.5 as stock a... 
Modwright PH 9.0X Tube Rolling Question
@scm I didn’t have that upgrade when I had my PH9.0X, but Dan offered that rectifier tube and circuit with a lot of his other units, a few of which I owned. A rectifier-based power supply will deliver additional harmonics and remove any edge you m...
