Bulk cable for rear speakers The Canare quad is very good value for the price. That said, if you are looking for more premium options, DH Labs sells some great cables in bulk by the foot. I used 24’ runs of the T-14 for my home theater, which sounded great until I took the th... | |
What is the forums opinion of SVS subs? In my personal experience, if spending less than $3-4K per sub, SVS takes the cake. I have two SVS SB-4000 in my room, which is 18x23 with sloped ceiling up to 18’, and the room is open to another room towards one back side. It’s a lot of space an... | |
Aurender N20 @lalitk Well part of the reason why I could honestly be happy is that there would likely be thousands of dollars back in my pocket alongside the N20 to be happy with it. :) | |
Aurender N20 @vonhelmholtz Your most recent post is hilarious. I had to do a double take after reading it. :) It makes me happy to hear of your satisfaction in the N20. It truly is the best performance-to-value unit in the Aurender lineup. I would say the N20... | |
Software for Room Correction? There are a lot of options here. As for a mic the most popular options I’ve seen and used are the MiniDSP UMIK-1 and the Dayton Audio mics available on Parts Express. What are you using for your digital playback chain? Are you using a laptop/com... | |
DAC’s @shtr74sims I recently had a conversation with someone on the MA3. The DAC is actually not bad, but the built in streamer is not great. I came across that that when I had tested it both with an external streamer and the built in one, but the perso... | |
Integrated for Streaming @marktheshark Does the ideal solution have local file serving via hard drive or network storage device as well, or do you plan to only stream? One suggestion is to find a quality preamp with DAC and streamer built in and use your Yamaha A-S2100 a... | |
Tube Amp for Devore O/96 @atmasphere Ralph I’m surprised you didn’t explicitly support my mention of your S-30. I know the 0/96 may dip slightly below 8ohms in a few frequencies, but might you have any opinion on how the S-30 might perform with the O/96? | |
Streamers/DACs @lalitk Thanks for sharing your journey. I hadn't heard about the Telegartner until you mentioned it, but that looks like both a serious AND seriously overpriced piece of kit! :) JCAT makes incredible stuff across the board from what I've seen an... | |
Tube Amp for Devore O/96 I unfortunately haven't heard those amps but do love the Devore Fidelity 0/96! A few others to consider: Atma-Sphere S-30 Audio Mirror Reflection Monoblocks Margules I-240 Integrated I have heard all three and owned both the Atma-Sphere and Marg... | |
Streamers/DACs @ghdprentice Seems the EtherRegen is hit or miss depending on how the rest of someone's internet is functioning. I too could hear very little difference with it on its own and almost returned it until a friend suggested I try a Farad Super 3 LPS o... | |
Streamers/DACs Hey @brewerslaw - Not sure if you saw my post here about the A15 and N200, but you might find it to be useful: I also responded to your last PM now on how you could use your WAP if you have one in your listening room. I have used Cary ... | |
Aurender integrated streamer/DACs @mhwilliford I am an authorized dealer and have compared the A15 against a the N200 with a few different DACs, as the A15 is essentially the N200 with a DAC onboard. Please take what I say with a grain of salt because 1) I am a dealer and 2) My st... | |
Aurender has put a .aurender directory all of my audio directories on my drive @rrroberts You’ll need to find the proper syntax, but it should be doable from either Windows’ command line or Mac OS Terminal. With Windows, you might want to look at this link and modify the command to use “.aurender” instead of “backdrop”. You’... | |
Aurender @pokey77 Your stance is accurate. I wasn’t implying you yourself had heard the two and had a preference, but was just acknowledging the sentiment between the two. Both are exceptional and endgame. While I had a preference sonically for the N30SA, ... |
