| Why aren’t there many used cables on the market? @curiousjim The only USB A to B I have is the DH Labs Mirage. It is just as good as the one I sold which cost about 10x more. | |
| Why aren’t there many used cables on the market? @curiousjim Skip the AQ Carbon and go with a DH Labs Mirage USB. The Carbon is very dull and closed in in comparison. To the OP, there are only a few brands of cables that will offer dealers that kind of profit margin, the majority of cable manuf... | |
| Bill Evans Riverside Recordings Box Set is FINALLY IN STOCK!! Thank you for sharing. I am hesitating since it’s $900, but I know the moment I decide to pull the trigger it will be gone. If I wasn’t considering leaving vinyl completely, I would buy it in a heartbeat. | |
| The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them Facts known by most, not all. 1. Mobile Fidelity owns & distributes a number of audio brands: https://mofidistribution.com/our-brands/ 2. Mobile Fidelity is owned by Music Direct, who distributes and deals a whole lot more audio brands: http... | |
| What measurements from the rear wall? Historically speaking, 3ft was generally from the front baffle to the back of the wall, but most if not everyone will agree that anything with rear-firing ports will benefit from having 3ft or more between the back of the speaker and the wall. You... | |
| Linear power supply I’m a very big fan of Farad Super3 linear power supplies. They should offer one in the voltage that you need for your transport. | |
| Dual Subwoofers? 2 subs are better than one, and 4 are better than 2. Charge the room correctly and you will be rewarded with much more than just better bass, but with added clarity across the frequency spectrum and an expanded soundstage that will immerse you int... | |
| DAC suggestions @dpm2340 The T+A DAC 8 is very much a bargain at your $2K budget and luckily there are two on the marketplace in that range, which is rare. I’ve personally done business, with Leonard, who is selling his unit on USAM. I can at least vouch that he ... | |
| Sound quality of Roon @fastfreight @wsrrsw I switched switches myself (pun intended). Went from an EtherRegen powered by a Farad Super3 LPS to a Synergistic Research Ethernet Switch UEF and there was a notable improvement in difference of the palpability, smoothnes... | |
| Please recommend speakers for 45 watt SET amps I’m close with Vlad, and his amps are wonderful. Consider Devore O/93, They’re lively and comforting at the same time, and they’ll look great paired with the Reflection monos. | |
| Best vibration isolation for speakers on carpet? I concur with a number of folks on here but my formula is a little different. I use IsoAcoustics Gaia footers under my speakers but instead of the carpet spikes, which are a pain to move the speakers around to tweak positioning, or a butcher block... | |
| Another HiFi Listening Room help request I used to DJ similar music 20 years ago (I can’t believe it’s been that long), but played around at a couple of clubs in Philadelphia. I also produced electronic music, not on a label, but for myself, and now many years down the road I run a hifi ... | |
| Streamer? Aurender's "caching streaming" ? how important is this feature? @audiocanada I’ve posted a lot on the forums lately in response to people’s inquiries on Aurender, and hopefully people aren’t getting tired of me. In transparency, I am also an Aurender dealer, always happy to work with folks. To add to Carlsba... | |
| What is the added value of a streamer over a networked dedicated Computer There’s a lot of material on the forums that cover this, but l’m sharing a few posts that I wrote recently to help guide people on what is required in a great digital source, mainly around noise reduction and clocking/timing. Digital signals are v... | |
| Recommendations for HiFi Listening Room +1 To everyone stating about investing in room treatments. A $20K system in a mindfully-treated and positioned room will sound exponentially better than a $35K system in an untreated room (even if positioned well) as the room shapes the sound betw... |
