| Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Hearing Loss I’m sad to hear of your situation. I relate to it on many levels. 1) I grew up in central Jersey and spent a lot of my youth in Princeton and the Princeton Record Exchange. Driving between there and Vintage Vinyl In the 80s and 90s made a number ... | |
| Another one (server) bites the dust! Aurender N10 vs. N200 @budburma Sure, happy to chat. I have some time later this morning. I have some good stuff to share on clocking that may help you make your decision. | |
| Cartridge recommendations Look at the Audio Technica ART9XI. It retails at $1,500 but can be had for less. It’s my favorite cartridge $5K and less, and I’ve tried a number of cartridges from other manufacturers. Eventually I bought an Air Tight PC-1s that retailed $8K to r... | |
| Another one (server) bites the dust! Aurender N10 vs. N200 @budburma Two other things to consinder with the N10. 1. It is a seven-year old model, vs the N200 which is only a year old. There has been a significant jump in streaming and serving technology hardware design in the last two years alone. 2. ... | |
| Another one (server) bites the dust! Aurender N10 vs. N200 @budburma If you bought the KWA from CY, then yes, that would have been mine. He used it only very lightly as he was evaluating amp roulette style. Given your tastes, I would certainly recommend the N200 over the N10. Happy to discuss options if y... | |
| Premium SuperTweeter Cables? PartsConnexion commissioned DH Labs to design a pure silver interconnect cable. They ended up using 2x23awg, and I think this might be a good fit for your application. I’ve used this cable years ago to built my own interconnects with good results.... | |
| I’m about to push the button to get 2 SVS 3000 micros to add to ATC SCM40s. Congrats OP! I use two SVS SB-4000 in my room, and I influenced a friend to get a pair of the SB-3000 micro. He has a smaller room than mine, and he’s quite happy with them. My favorite feature is the ability to tweak phase by degree from the mobi... | |
| Another one (server) bites the dust! Aurender N10 vs. N200 @budburma I am an authorized Aurender dealer and can tell you that despite the N10 having a higher retail price, the N200 is sonically superior. Aurender admits they surprised themselves with the performance demonstrated by this unit. Some people ... | |
| Time/Process of Hooking up New Equipment With new gear I ensure that I have the time and space to get it set up. I also try not to come to any immediate conclusions and let gear burn in for 1-2 weeks before starting to tinker with positioning or different cables. Even after burn in, it t... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 @niodari i wouldn’t call it coloration. It’s not warm and bloomy (and somewhat slower/rounder) like the Lampizator Baltic 3, nor is it on the clinical side as the Tambaqui. It is more confident than the DAC 8, and it’s character can be adjusted sl... | |
| Help finding a subwoofer I really enjoy SVS subwoofers for the price. Perhaps the SVS SB-2000 or SVS SB-3000 Micro might fit your needs. The app flexibility is truly wonderful and. Delight to use for easy integration with the rest of the room and system. | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 @niodari I would simply characterize the DAC 200 as much more capable across the board in delivering a more realistic reproduction. While the DAC 8 has a neutral tone with liquid pace, I would characterize the DAC 200 with being a bit fuller bodie... | |
| Parity @rvpiano That’s a great place to be, congrats! Stay happy with it for as long as you can. :) | |
| Who else has a Modwright KWH 225i ? I have owned a lot of Modwright gear but never this integrated. For his other gear that uses 6922 variants, I like tubes that are more honest and transparent with sparkle, as by default Modwright has a warmer sonic signature. The honesty allows th... | |
| Parity @rvpiano I am an audiophile first, but also an Aurender dealer, so take the below as both objective and subjective suggestion. I used to own the Cambridge CXN V2 as my primary streamer in a second system. I had immediately upgraded it to the Mo... |
