| Cable burn in My DAC was mentioned. The Cary Audio DMS-650. It does have an output volume feature, I can play with that. Doing a direct A/B swap, the difference is not at all small. Other people have concurred. In my mind, and maybe that is the key, it makes pe... | |
| Dedicated room suggestions Thanks again all. It will take some time to get the room finished but I will certainly check back in with results when the time comes. This is pretty exciting as my system sounds pretty great now unless the recording is just horrid i even listene... | |
| Dedicated room suggestions Thanks again. I have some homework to do, at least I’m in the right place :) | |
| Dedicated room suggestions I should also mention that with certain recordings (only the worst recordings, everything else is fine) with my current setup I am getting some harshness. But my setup is pretty pathetic. The speakers are maybe 4’ apart and I am sitting maybe 8’ a... | |
| Dedicated room suggestions Thanks for the suggestions guys. I will check out the tools that you mentioned. Regarding the room layout, the entry door is to the left center of the room while the window is centered on the outer wall. When you step in, on your left a small cl... | |
| How many people do you think have the same DAC, amplifier, and speakers I barely see Cary Audio mentioned. I went with a bundle at 25% off to pair with my Klipsch Cornwall IV’s. SLI-100 Tube amp and DMS650 Streamer/DAC. Not super unique but I doubt too many have the exact same combo. | |
| What is Your End Game System? I’m new to the game but I did a ton of research and I ended up with a tube amp and a streaming dac plus my Klipsch Cornwall IV’s. I’ve been loving it. As long as the original recording doesn’t suck this system delivers. Great recordings sound amaz... | |
| Considering Towers in the $3000 range Sonus Faber has a speaker in that price range that is worth a listen. I heard the JBL’s at a show and they sounded great. Also maybe listen to the Klipsch Forte. I ended up with Cornwall IV,s and they are pretty great. I heard Forte’s and they ar... | |
| BluSound Node and Node 2 I had a very poor experience with mine and returned it for a full refund. It was not reliable, had to be defaulted and then the app wouldn't be able to find it. I would have to run through the setup process again for no apparent reason. It was har... | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? I was at an audio show recently and they didn't seem to have radically expensive amps. But they did have speakers that were 120k and 350k. I heard absolutely nothing that would make me even consider either one, even if I had the money to burn. | |
| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! Gotta go Grateful Dead. As a lifelong musician, that sounds absolutely nothing like music to me. Exact same guitar solo every damn time. Obviously many folks would disagree. I know many other accomplished musicians who feel the same. And everyone ... |
