| Ethernet switches the good and bad @vonhelmholtz “It can”, but it doesn’t mean it will. It will depend on the amount of noise coming in as the Ethernet Switch UEF will do an incredible job reclocking and filtering the signal. For me, I had the EtherRegen a few years ago and it made... | |
| Usher TD-20 I find the Usher TD-20 to be a very warm and lush speaker. Going from the Rowland to the Gryphon would add even more of this, which could be too much of a good thing. One thing that allows the Usher to sound less warm is having enough space for it... | |
| How many of you streaming? When I am enjoying music I know, I typically listen to full albums or playlists I’ve constructed. But about 30% of the time I am in “discover” mode and play a single song, letting Qobuz form the rest of the playlist for me. I’m usually pretty impr... | |
| My Sonic Lab Platinum v Gold Signature I’d say it’s completely honest. Not on the cool side at all. | |
| My Sonic Lab Platinum v Gold Signature To concur with some of the others’ statements, I also went from an Airtight PC-1s, which was a considerably warm cartridge, but almost equally as magical as the Sig Gold. I found the Sig Gold to be just a little less bloomy and much better in term... | |
| My Sonic Lab Platinum v Gold Signature @wrm57 Fair points. In all honesty I’m 100% satisfied with my Sig Gold. I’m happy that it costs a bit less as well. :) I have a thought on the Gold that is a bit off topic of this thread, so I will message you directly. Look out for that if you c... | |
| My Sonic Lab Platinum v Gold Signature I own the Gold on the TriPlanar U12 SE and have absolutely no complaints. I don’t find it to be too warm, but I am pairing it with the Simaudio Moon 810LP, which will be much more neutral compared to your Allnic H3000. I also know two people who o... | |
| WhestTHREE signature phono pre vs. ModWright PH 9.0X @mmcgill829 FWIW I demoed a lot of phono stages before I landed on the older Modwright SWP 9.0 SE, the predecessor to the PH9.0. Even that older unit bested the last Herron phono, the Allnic H-1201, and a few others. I went to the PH9.0 and it was... | |
| New Synergistic Master Fuse As a long time Synergistic Research customer and user, I finally recently became an authorized Synergistic Research dealer. As part of my opening order, I purchased a Master Fuse and just put it into my Aurender N30SA, replacing a Synergistic Rese... | |
| What are your favorite songs or albums for illustrating a deep soundstage? I just wanted to thank everyone so far for providing stellar selections. I’ve finally gotten my system to a place where I have a full 180-degree soundstage AND the depth of the center image can go much deeper than it did before. It was always a to... | |
| What should I do - PS Audio DAC with or without Preamp Agree that a good preamp will do wonders. While the DAC may have a decent volume control and analog stage, it likely cannot parallel the sonics of a quality, dedicated preamp. Most DAC volume controls are digital in nature and their analog gain st... | |
| WhestTHREE signature phono pre vs. ModWright PH 9.0X I’m a huge fan of the Modwright PH9.0X and have posted about it on the forums in the past. In my opinion it’s the best phono stage I’ve heard under $7500, especially after adding better tubes and power cable. I don’t own one anymore as I upgraded ... | |
| 6DJ8 vs. 6922? I’ve tried more tubes in this variant than I would care to mention. Oddly, favorites were the Amperex 6DJ8 with a white globe. I’ve never seen these anywhere else, and they sounded better than other Amperex 7308 (military spec) with white letterin... | |
| If Nordost and AQ Speaker cables had a baby? Look into the Cerious Technologies Graphene Matrix speaker cables. There is a 6’ pair on a used marketplace that I have no affiliation with selling for $550. These cables are phenomenal for the price and will beat out cables in the $3K range in my... | |
| Can you give me your speaker suggestions? I would agree that the quality of the amplification and the choice of speaker are both variables here. In my experience, Klipsch has incredible presence but the sonic challenges you state are common and dissatisfactory. I’ve found Klipsch to work ... |
