| Network optimization for serious streamers How did I get in the middle of this. Actually, that's not what I said... the "audiophile stuff" is all back in but arranged better. Maybe your system, like yourself, is not sufficiently resolving to understand that primarily the proximity of the... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers This discussion has been very helpful. X the vitriol. It motivated me to try some additional solutions to excavate some system noise. My system is a dCS Bartok Streamer/DAC fed ethernet signal thought an English Eight switch. dCS recommends fe... | |
| Wilson to Tekton to ???? A trip to the Wilson dealer with your wife is in order. Listen to the Yvettes, smaller and better looking. Like Sophia on steroids. Better than Sasha 1. They are still winning awards in 2022 but available now used at reasonable prices. | |
| Favourite Guitarists Never mind the guys that just make noise… Jim Hall Charlie Bird Carlos Montoya | |
| Sound is better when I stand up? SIMAO. When you stand, you are changing the distance your ears are from the speakers, (less) the back wall (more) and the ceiling. Yet sound wise, you like that position better. Experiment with duplicating each of those new dimensions while sitt... | |
| What Gear Has Disappointed You? Years ago, worked my way up B&W’s speakers to Nautilus 800s. Mistake, they never sounded right in a 9X15 living room. Traded the B&Ws in on Wilson Watt-Puppy 7s. Perfect. Then went to Wilson Sashas, wonderful. Traded my Wilson Sasha’s on t... | |
| 100% USA designed & made DAC While I'm an MSB and dCS fan, what about those cool little USB thingys from Audioquest? California. | |
| What is the best 2 channel listening chair? Ekorness Stressless Recliner.... need to comfortable for four hours and sleep anytime | |
| Inside the Iso Acoustics mechanism A great deal depends on how your speakers are designed. My 180lb Wilsons and their rock dead cabinets are meant to be on spikes, not suspended to vibrate. Spent some cash on Stillpoints (more expensive than GAIA) and found I didn't care for the ... | |
| Audioquest Storm Series power cables There's a big performance difference between Venom and the Storm cables. But, it's system dependent. I did a personal shoot-out with about a dozen expensive power cables on my top of the line conrad-johnson mono-block power amplifiers. I now us... | |
| Upgrading from Primaluna Also, want a cool running amp? Try PS Audio's Class D mono blocks. My Wilson dealer tells me he's got some customers with big Wilson's running them and they sold pretty good. A reasonable endorsement. | |
| Upgrading from Primaluna Definitely get the speakers farther apart and toed in more. It costs nothing. Move your listening seat forward to create an equilateral triangle, you can move it back a bit, =10%, later. Don't know how the PL sounds with your speakers, you coul... | |
| American Made Audio Products Nothing against Transparent, many love them. With Wilson speakers, always wanted to try their cables. I use Nordost Valhalla and the Transparent dealers seem reluctant to send me anything for comparison. I see Nordost is on the list. As is Conr... | |
| American Made Audio Products Not a fan but what about Transparent audio, the cable folks. | |
| Suggestions for a streamer only (I have a great DAC) At your local dSC dealer you should be able to trade your Paganini and clock for a new Bartok. The Bartok has an updated dCS ring DAC and streamer. You can use their Mosaic streaming program to access Tidal/Qobuz or subscribe to Roon. Top quali... |
