| Okay to use RCA adapter on a fully balanced amp? On a normal 1 meter cord, you won’t hear the difference, but on longer runs, XLR. | |
| Power cords: Anticable vs Mad Scientist I’m not using either, but the Pangea AC-9SE MKll and it’s heavy, really thick and it doesn’t stay in either my Hegel, the wall socket or the Audience power conditioner. They claim to be using Cardas copper, but if I hear a difference, between it a... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused The Golden Ear Triton One R’s have a 1600 watt, active subwoofers built in and they sound surprisingly good. I’m waiting for my local dealer to get in a pair of the Triton References. | |
| HoloAudio STREAMER is out now I bet with a LPS and a good DAC it would sound great! | |
| How Did Your First Audiophile Experience Impact Your Audio Journey? In the late seventies/early eighties a friend of mine took me to a little joint in Collinsville Illinois called Audio Musical. There I heard the Snell A’s and fell in love! That was my start. Oh and I did end up buying a pair used a couple of yea... | |
| Amazon music vs Qobuz @larry5729 High Res and MQA are two separate things. You can play 24/192 without it. I know that for sure on Amazon and I’m pretty sure it’s the same with Tidal and Qobuz. | |
| Music for 2022- Is It Just Me Or?.. What do you listen to? I must admit that since I bought a streamer and a subscription, I have only bought a few CD’s. The day something comes out, it’s out there and usually in high res, which I can’t get on a CD. | |
| Reliable Mid-Priced 7.2 Channel Receiver While I’ve not tried their top of the line receivers, I’ve had great luck with Denon as well. What price range are you looking? | |
| Amazon music vs Qobuz I’ve been using Amazon Music HD for about 6 months and am happy with it. Amazon offers a three month free test drive. If you Don like it, cancel and you’re not out anything. All the best. | |
| The Right Speaker Cables @derfman66 Another thought, call Audio Adviser. They buy Audioquest cable in bulk. They have a guy there and all he does is terminate speaker cables for them. They call it their No Frills cables. A pair of AQ Type 8 cables, 8’ long goes for @$34... | |
| solid core VS stranded for inside speaker cabinet For the short runs of wire inside your speakers, you probably hear any difference between solid and stranded wire as long as it’s good quality wire. And while I don’t have any personal experience with GR Research, I’m sure you can call Danny and h... | |
| Best Amps for Magneplanar 1.7i Speakers I’d consider getting a couple of small subwoofers and an active crossover and keep your amp, buy if you want more power, Check out Hegel. A used H360 can be had for around $3200ish. Class A/B Dual mono 250 watts X 2 into 8 ohms. | |
| CD Cases / Furniture Recommendations? I bought a CD shelf kit from Amazon that holds about 900 disks. I’d show a link, but they don’t seem to carry it anymore. Sorry. You can also look at garage sales. People are getting rid of CD’d and racks CHEAP! Last year I went to a garage sale... | |
