| Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ? I have relied quite heavily on member reviews and comments of products and found them to be very helpful. Of course, you have to weed through who is saying what and triangulate with other users' experiences with the same equipment. Agon and WBF ha... | |
| Big problem / bottleneck in my chain No offense intended to you @antmou I'm trying to help you as it seems you have a similar dilemma I experienced. And I remedied it with cabling. IME those Cardas cables are not helping you. They are lower tier or older recipes that are darker sound... | |
| Big problem / bottleneck in my chain My take is the Cardas and Mac gear both have rather "darker" playback tendencies and with the chain you have it is not freeing up the signal. Try a different preamp or some other cables. I would say your dac, Coda, and speakers are A-okay. That's ... | |
| Ceriously, it all started with a power cable They are good cables from a really good guy. I have had most all of his levels in power, IC and speaker cables over the last 9 years. I stopped before going to Lumiscate because I experimented with enough others to know I wanted more. So the quest... | |
| Rel sub x-over fs/click I set my T/9X RELs according to the bass frequency response of my Wilsons which meant an approx 50 hz setting. The test results posted for the Wilsons seem to show a pretty bumpy bass response where there is a 10db dip at 20 hz but a strong rise t... | |
| 4 Rel Subs Hookup Question Try both of them hooked up together onto just one set of binding posts (like the right speaker) and see if your gain is manageable. If that works then adding another pair should not be an issue. My question about wiring up a pair of subs and what... | |
| How do I connect my speaker cables to this Coda Amp I changed the binding posts on my upper set to posts w/o the safety cover. Pop the top and get out your soldering iron and Bob's your uncle. Otherwise you could try an adapter on the spade that is a banana as Erik suggests. | |
| Considering switching to XLR cables, @salc IMO, your targeted cables are not commensurate with the high level gear you have. If I was a smart guy I guess I would have long ago tasted the quality cables I am now getting to. For a painful journey see my systems page. I suggest Wywir... | |
| "audiophiles listen to their equipment" When evaluating my system for faults or opportunities for improvement, I listen critically, typically to well-culled tunes with ranges of frequencies. When exploring new music I want something that touches me in an emotional way. And if it strikes... | |
| Any Nashville enthusiasts? Now at 18 "members" and GTG's planned for the next 3 months. Join the fun. | |
| Gain level on a REL sub @sns His response is right on target. The wiring is most likely the issue. I just put 2 T/9X's in yesterday and while they were in route I verified the proper wiring scheme to use. Here is what customer service offered: "Thank you for reaching o... | |
| Shunyata Ethernet Cable User Experience- Delta vs Theta I have been using the Shunyata Sigma USB or about 5 years now. I have not found any cable that bettered it. I am curious about the Snake River Boomslang USB. As far as ethernet, I should probably look to more research, but grabbed an Avanti here a... | |
| Sound proofing floor Are they "hearing" the bass or midrange/treble as well? It doesn't make sense that all frequencies are passing through unless the whole floor is hitting a resonance with your music. It's pretty hard to stop the long bass wavelengths. Isolating you... | |
| Snake River Audio Power Cables - Best Unboxing I picked up a used set of Mamushi Signature IC's and tried them out for an hour tonight. They are very impressive. With more time I might see them edging out my Synergistic Euphoria X xlr's. More to come. | |
| Sound proofing floor Mass loaded vinyl is the shiznit. I have used it to soundproof a ceiling from the living room above and I have used it to soundproof the family room below my room. Just lay it down and put your vinyl flooring right over it. Not cheap, but very eff... |
