| Speaker Cable Recommendation For the price, I know none better than Morrow upper level of cables. I’ve owned the best Cardas and Transparent Ultra. Morrow sounded slightly better in my system at 1/3 the price. I have slowly tested then purchased speaker, interconnects, power ... | |
| WiFi Streaming Versus An Ethernet Cable Connection Etheregen from UpTone Audio! made a huge difference. Changed the game for me. Ethernet cable does matter. Everything matters. | |
| looking for a Integrated amp $6,000 range Many good choices. I love my Jeff Rowland Continuum S2. | |
| Aurender A-10 I listened to every demo of the Aurender A10 at the 2016 Rocky Mtn Audio Festival (three different setups). I really wanted to buy it before I attended the event, thinking it would simplify my system. I came away from the auditions believing that ... | |
| Best USB cable +/- $500 Thank you for your posts. My USB cable search is over. Did quite a bit of research, but in this price range it is impossible for me to audition much as I did in the $100 range.Ridge Street was a bit too high priced for me. Anyway, bought the Revel... | |
| Best digital interconnect under 300 used I have not listened to the three on your list but just did a shootout with the Stereovox xv2 ultra and the Kimber D-60 and was surprised that the Kimber easily knocked off the Stereovox. Both cables were well broken in. I too had done a lot of Aud... | |
| Opus 21 CD vs Mac Mini... Opus wins Thanks for all the help. I will try upgrading my cables and see where I stand with the sound.One interesting note... I discovered that the M-audio solo has the option to have it plugged in or unplugged (passive). It seems to be a touch cleaner and... | |
| Opus 21 CD vs Mac Mini... Opus wins Heymikey, or others, any suggestions on upgrading firewire? I looked at a couple of well known audio cable manufacturers and they don't seem to offer upgraded firewire cables. | |
| Opus 21 CD vs Mac Mini... Opus wins Very interesting. The comment that I have introduced three links in the chain is true and may be a contributing factor to degrading the sound (M-Audio unit, Digital SPDIF cable - Canare Digiflex Gold, and the 'out of the box' Firewire cable). Thre... | |
| power amp question What is your other gear? Can't really answer your question without knowing that. | |
| Audio Electronic Supply AES/Cary AE3 MkII preamp I owned the AE-3 DJH signature preamp and was thinking of upgrading to the MK II and Kevin Deal advised me that the DJH was still a superior preamp for purity. It's the best $1500 I ever spent on my system. However, it only has three inputs and on... | |
| Krell FPB 300cx vs Jeff Rowland 501's? Wow! That is quite a statement that you prefer the capri to the ARC Ref 3 considering the Capri is about $5,000 cheaper on the used market. Was your preference given with or without the Rowland A.C. filter? | |
| Krell FPB 300cx vs Jeff Rowland 501's? Thank you all for some great information. It is very helpful. Maybe I should keep the Krell (Raquel, I have a 30 amp dedicated AC line that seems to serve the amp very well).Maybe, I should ask a follow up question regarding the Krell... How does ... | |
| Resolution Audio Opus21 cabling options Go with the DIN cable. It is audibly better. It will have more clarity and punch. I use the Audience cable as well. My Opus 21 has the reference GNSC modification and I'm not sure I would spend the money to modify it if I had it to do again. | |
| Why LCD and Plasma? 37 Tvad, I will begin by saying I am NOT a videophile. However, I spent considerable time investigating before buying a plasma TV. I replaced a 32" XBR CRT. I chose the Pioneer 1080p plasma because of how it dealt with Standard Definition programing ... |
