| Sharing my experience with cables @lucmichaud1 i should add that I also have wilson speakers and VTL components. Every system is different. | |
| Sharing my experience with cables @lucmichaud1 hi my cable adventure from basic cheap cables has been utterly amazing. In my opinion it is what changed my system so so much from noise to music. The dedicated line followed by power cables (which no dealer told me to start with a... | |
| For classical music lovers best amp for large orchestral forces? @roxy1927 yes i love that you want to hear the musical experience that is orchestral playing. Great ears in an orchestra is always being deferential to what voices need to emerge. It isn’t always by any stretch the conductor that brings this out... | |
| For classical music lovers best amp for large orchestral forces? @roxy1927 hi there. I hear you loud and clear. For my profession I get to sit in a front violin chair in a great symphony orchestra. I listen to all music, jazz, rock, chamber music and also orchestral. There is no denying orchestral music revea... | |
| Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed? @robert1976 i guess there are just several things i would address before a dac. Perhaps you have already addressed them. Dedicated line was great. Good on you. So many don’t have a clean source. Ignore the slamming of this. It is so important. A... | |
| Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed? @robert1976 i seriously don’t understand why you are so bent on a tube dac. The Essence are not tube, the nucleus is loud noisy and simple. Why would you not get a great server and build the system on that. I had a nucleus server. I now have an ... | |
| Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed? Why would you be so sure about a tube dac when you have a nucleus and solid state amps? Why go tube here? I don’t understand the logic there at all. Yes a great streamer is king. My Wadax Atlantis streamer changed the whole sound in my system. A g... | |
| How do you make a final decision on a DAC @mr_bill i am indeed. Audio quest makes a cable mine is Audio quest “yosemite” they also make one “victoria”that is single ended which plugs into the cobalt and cobalt plugs directly into the USB slot on my Wadax Atlantis server. The 2 sided end... | |
| How do you make a final decision on a DAC Consider the Cobalt by audioquest. Auditioned terminator 4k from a friend, luxman DO3X 4k, Schiit Yggy 2500 and the Cobalt 300 dollars. Not even close. The Cobalt is quiet natural clean comparatively. So quiet, and timing is more correct. Real mu... | |
| recommended speaker cables and interconnects @stone1 another way to think of it is good food. The source. Everything comes from that. Feed the plants. Give them good food. That is why I am so happy I have a dedicated line with a nice dedicated cable. Of course many will say that is useless... | |
| recommended speaker cables and interconnects @stone1 i mean power cables vs. interconnects and speaker cables. i have heard a tremendous change from changing the power cables. Of course interconnects and speaker cable matter, but I noticed the biggest noise riddance with power cables, the... | |
| recommended speaker cables and interconnects @stone1 i completely agree with @gita . Stick with one manufacturer throughout. In other words I would not mix and match manufacturers just because you might get a special deal on say an interconnects or speaker cables. Usually if you work with... | |
| Installing dedicated 10 gauge lines @nyev i used 10-2 gauge cable steel sheath. You want to use steel not aluminum. Atkore makes a great product. Not sure if you will need the isolated ground or not. I did not. Atkore 10-2 ran about 750 dollars for 250 feet. Quality cable is im... | |
| Why do folks spend more on electronics than on speakers? @runwell Luckily for me I just trusted my now friend who is a set up person for how to build a system. I really would have had no idea where to spend time and money. I agree that the people one meets on a journey like this is super cool, and luc... | |
| Why do folks spend more on electronics than on speakers? @runwell I also thought that the order was speakers first then everything down the line from there. I bought Wilson SabrinaX, and had a Luxman class A integrated and Luxman DAC. Then I started getting into cables, and a dedicated line and then s... |
