| Do power supply units/cables make a difference in sound quality? I don't think the quality of the electricity is as important as the quantity. The PSU in your amp promptly rectifies it and regulates it so the electricity coming out of the wall it pretty much adequate in quality. 60Hz and approximately 120V. ... | |
| How do you arrange the order of your records? It says something about this forum that this is the most popular post today. | |
| Question about Audioengine speakers... A2 or A5+? YOu guys realize this is a bot or a troll looking to start interest in Audioengine. There are several of them a week. The only way to get rid of them is to not take the bait. | |
| Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum? This is America. I'll fight to the death for your right to your opinion. But if your opinion is censorship, it is wrong. But you can find a lot of friends to commisurate with at twitter. | |
| A CD PLAYER whose sound quality NOT AFFECTED by the DAC? Buy a better DAC. | |
| Question Regarding New Item Damaged in Shipping insurance is irrelevant. That is something that the seller decides if he want's to minimize his risk. The seller is responsible for delivering an item to you that is not damaged. Until that happens, it is his responsibility in full. I would ... | |
| AudioEngine A5 Mini Amp Go with PSB. Much better speaker. | |
| Question about Audioengine speakers... A2 or A5+? I just returned my Audioengine speakers and bought PSB Alpha AM3. Excellent upgrade. --Jerry | |
| Installing dedicated 10 gauge lines I did it myself. I was able to use a circuit that was installed in my laundry room years ago for an electric dryer (I installed that too). Yes, it will be expensive if you hire it done. Looking at other options, at least you can try to find a... | |
| Can my Roon Nucleus be used with a non-Roon-ready DAC? I'll repeat what I said above in a different way: You can't tell the roon to just send a signal and you'll have a device there to recieve it. Roon has to see your device before it will send a signal. it will see any device that doesn't require ... | |
| What is the Bu-ray plauyer that you are using? Too late to edit my post above but I may be confused. My LG blueray player may have digital out via optical and if so, then I was using my DAC. It was still inferior to qobuz and the transport that replaced it. | |
| Streaming to Multiple Systems around the house I stream on 2 systems with Roon. On the second system I just took an old retired laptop and put roon on it for the endpoint. So once you have roon, all you need to come up with is a computer/raspberry pi, node, or other roon ready endpoint for e... | |
| Roon/Bluesound Node - adding new DAC (non Roon-Ready) Creating a list of Roon tested devices is a 2 edged sword. It is nice to know some devices have been tested but it gives the impression that those on the list won't work. For example, the Schiit Bifrost II isn't on the list yet but I know it wor... | |
| What is the Bu-ray plauyer that you are using? I use LG HD player for HT. I don't know of any HT/bluray player that is good for quality 2 channel sound. Iike most here, I use a CD transport going to my DAC for 2 channel sound. In fact, since I don't listen to CDs often, I didn't realize ho... | |
| How do I get the best soundstage? I haven't listened to your speakers but they may not be the best for soundstage. If I was in your shoes, I'd consider that. Try to borrow some more conventional 3 way speakers with an exceptional midrange. Midrange is where the soundstage exist... |
