| Best DACs under $7,000.00 Hey @patrickdowns - Perhaps this is a convo that is better suited through PM or call, so I’ll follow up to get in touch. That said, I’ll also answer your inquiry for anyone else interested on the thread. The T+A DAC has a very good preamp section... | |
| Which power cords have high resolutions and separation?? +1 ghdprentice on DH Labs Corona. To me, it’s performance is identical if not better than the $2500-3000 Shunyata Sigma NR, as I evaluated a number of power cables side by side. For anything under MSRP $3K, the Corona would be at the top of my lis... | |
| What selections do you play when showing off your system to others? I’ve found the best way to show my system off to others is to let them control the queue. While the listener may appreciate analyzing the music you play, they will likely not resonate emotionally with it because they don’t know it very well. That... | |
| Streamer Upgrade Bluesound Node To Aurender N10 @rbyington711 I am an Aurender dealer so take this into consideration. I haven’t demoed Aurender and Hifi Rose side by side, though I have used the Hifi Rose RS250 and the two Aurender units you mention at different intervals. Despite the impress... | |
| Help! Trying to pick an amp/preamp for an Acoustat 1+1s The acoustats will sound best with tubes that can deliver a good amount of current. That said I’d also pick an EL34 amp over a KT88 amp for electrostats given the sonic signature and midrange magic. Unfortunately EL34 are lower powered, so if you ... | |
| Phono preamp with best mid bass @tooblue Thank you! If you ever come up to the Minneapolis area feel free to look me up and we can coordinate a listening session! | |
| Phono preamp with best mid bass If you look at the Ares, go for the Magnum as the sound is more articulate across the spectrum. The regular one is a bit more rounded even with better tubes. A step up on the Ares is the Modwright PH9.0 or PH9.0X, which I along a number of other ... | |
| AXPONA 2023 Wow, that’s crazy. Luckily there are a number of much more affordable hotels in the vicinity and parking is ample at the convention center for those that visit during the day. | |
| Streamer advice @bluorion Before settling on the iFi, perhaps read the first post here. Many have mentioned the exceptional performance of Aurender, and this is a customer statement comparing the N20 to his iFi. Yes the cost of entry is higher, but the sonic perf... | |
| Do I need a streamer? @whitestix In case you didn’t catch this thread, there’s a wealth of info on it: | |
| Aurender N20 Streamer & Holo May DAC vs Analog @vonhelmholtz One other thing I recall is that you were just resent a new Holo after your last one failed. From what I read in the past, the Holo May requires up to 600 hours of play time to fully burn in. Where do you think you are with the unit ... | |
| Aurender N20 Streamer & Holo May DAC vs Analog In my case, my digital chain and analog chain cost me almost the same. Knowing your analog chain and having owned many similar pieces (VPI table and tonearm, MSL cartridge, Audionet phono), it is all very high quality and capable of exceptional re... | |
| DSP vs New Cables ?? I personally hate full range DSP in two channel. When I’ve tried in the past from solutions between MiniDSP & Dirac to the higher end Legacy Wavelet, DSP always seemed to affect the amount of breath, decay, and air and made the sound much more... | |
| Speaker Suggestions $30K Sasha DAW competitor? @plaw What amps are you using to control the Sasha 1’s? If it’s not optimal, a better amp can transform the way the speaker performs. Also agree with everything audphile1 says above. I owned Wilson Yvette and also found no harshness. | |
| Streamer Upgrade Bluesound Node To Aurender N10 @lalitk Aurender will work with wifi using any wifi dongle with a Realtek chip inside. That said, I agree that this is not the optimal approach for the investment as the signal integrity can get compromised over the air leading to poor clocking an... |
