| Standmount speakers. I have $5000. +1 for Dynaudio Contour 20, they're really really good. | |
| Please suggest a WiFi Streamer under $200 Recluse,The Grace Digital Encore looks good however it’s a wifi speaker which I don’t need since I have speakers already. I’ve recently been reading up on the Raspberry Pi although I’m quite the caveman when it comes to these things. Fun to learn ... | |
| bluesound node 2i with chord quest I have the Chord Qutest and its a really great sounding DAC. I'm using it with a laptop though (Audirvana + Tidal) through a Wifi connection only and I've never had any drop-out/connection issues. Once, I brought my spare router which works as a W... | |
| Please suggest a WiFi Streamer under $200 Thanks for the suggestions. I won't be able to put a TV monitor as my 2nd system is situated near the dining table/living room area and it would be an eyesore to have a small TV monitor there. I did take a look at the Blue Sound Node 2i. Is it pos... | |
| ... WHAT POWER CORD(S) ARE PLAYING IN YOU SYSTEM TODAY? I use a mix of cables in my system, here's the list ranked from favorite to least favorite:1. Nordost Heimdall 2 - Integrated Tube Amplifier.2. Furutech FP-TCS31 with FI-28 Gold AC Plug and IEC - Wall outlet to Line Conditioner.3. Xindak FP-1 - Tu... | |
| Bookshelf Bake Off Dynaudio. They make the best bookshelf speakers in that price range in my opinion, they image like no other given good amplification. | |
| Furutech FP-3TS762 or FP-TCS31 I currently have the FP-TCS31 with FI-28(G) AC and IEC, using it from the wall outlet to the power conditioner. Agree with all the observations mentioned above. I like it so much I want to get another one for my Eastern Electric Minimax Phono Stag... | |
| Chinese fake cables How fake, how good? I purchased what I believe is a fake Furutech power cord with fake Oyaide 079 AC plugs while in Shanghai last year. At the time I didn't realize it was fake since I purchased it at a "hifi mall" which sold all types of high-end speakers and amplif... | |
| "Loom" cabling vs. 'mix n match' ? Ah, thanks. I love what the Heimdall 2 pc has done for my integrated tube amp but I find the price too prohibitive to invest in an all Nordost power set-up (QRT plus 3 power cords). For now, will just keep my mix and match power cords set up as I'... | |
| "Loom" cabling vs. 'mix n match' ? @uberwaltz May I ask what level of Nordost cabling were you at when you decided to call it quits? Reason for asking is that I’ve just auditioned a Heimdall 2 power cord in my system and was quite impressed with how it made my integrated tube amp s... | |
| "Loom" cabling vs. 'mix n match' ? Interesting. I thought that going all Nordost route via their "foundation theory" would be the way to go but it seems that to mix and match cables still gets good results. | |
| Weight, Clamp or stabilizer? I did a lot of research in the form of reading shoot-out review's and forum lurking over the mat and record weight upgrade for my technics direct drive table and ended up with a 5mm funk firm achromat and an oyaide stb-msx record weight. Both have... | |
| Filling speaker Stands? Thought I would revive this thread with the weirdest experience I've had in this hobby. I had Atacama Nexus stands which were filled to the brim with Atabites. I experimented with 50% filled and then 75% filled which sounded better before settling... | |
| I need bass Another +1 for adding a sub.I recommend REL. I was in the same situation and wanted to upgrade my speakers to bigger floorstanders but adding a proper sub solved my problems. Its been said countless times that crossover setup and volume configurat... | |
| Audiomods Tonearm..... I ordered one as well. Cannot wait for it to arrive, estimated completion is end of April. |
