| New amps @tony1954 the speakers are positioned to beat interact with the room, but that also matters on what comes out of them, where an amp has a profound impact. Often in an upgrade path, a person may replace their amp with one that delivers more across ... | |
| What Can I Do With This LPS? You should make sure the voltage requirements are aligned with the rails of the power supply. Sometimes a unit can be flexible (EtherRegen can use 7v-12v for instance), but in most cases it needs a specific voltage and ampere. The voltage should b... | |
| What Can I Do With This LPS? Since it has one rail that is 12-15VDC, that should be very flexible for a number of things. A router, satellite, or ethernet switch is one area. If you use a NAS or server/streamer that uses a typical wall wart, that might be a good area for an u... | |
| Record Stores NYC +1 for Academy Records. I lived in NYC for over a decade and in vicinity most of my life except for the last five years. Academy Records on West 18th has the best classical collection in the city by far. If you are looking for new (not used) recor... | |
| Next step into Digital Streaming I have been streaming and serving digital for years, and I can tell you that typical NAS or network drive solutions do not deliver the fidelity that an Aurender unit can when serving a file from its internal drive. I cannot fully explain technical... | |
| Next step into Digital Streaming Yes, many streaming/server companies allow this type of networking. If you’re happy with Bluesound, you can get a Bluesound Vault and use that in your dungeon to store and serve your files. Your Node can go upstairs and act as an endpoint for that... | |
| 2023 AXPONA Show Report The X3 are quite good, especially for the price point. I heard them both at FLAX and AXPONA this year. That said, I absolutely hate how they look aesthetically. The tweeter baffle is ugly, as are the checkered drivers. They took the carbon pattern... | |
| A Different "Analog" Question I used to be an analog watch guy. I still have a few Omega, but I never seem to wear them. I gave in to buying an Apple Watch 6 when it came out over a year ago. I might have worn it half a dozen times and now it gathers dust. So no more watches f... | |
| New amps @tony1954 Best response yet! | |
| New amps As a dealer who has had to swap equipment often, yes, repositioning the speakers after an amp change (or other component or cable change) may help to improve your overall system performance. This is because no item is linear. Every change shifts t... | |
| T+A Dac 200 HDMI issues While I cannot comment on the multi-channel issues you are having, the two-channel DSD issues you are experiencing are not surprising. As others have mentioned, the only way to output DSD from a SACD source to a DAC is 1) if you use the same brand... | |
| 2023 AXPONA Show Report @rsf507 Fair point. You're right, a bit of digging and seems those Ktema speakers have been around for 12 years, one of FS' last creations. Thank you for correcting me. I think it's the first time I've come across them. Agree they were wonderful, ... | |
| 2023 AXPONA Show Report @dayglow My pleasure. If anything I’ve learned in this hobby is that as objective as measurements can be, audiophiles want to be moved by what they hear. That movement is emotional, and what they hear is purely subjective. As a dealer and guide, I... | |
| T+A Dac 200 HDMI issues I’ve made the T+A North America team aware of this thread and they confirmed they will be looking into this. If you purchased the DAC new, I suggest asking your dealer first in the future as these types of issues may be so specific to the pairing ... | |
