Noise coming from subwoofers and centre channel
- Turn off subwoofers and see if noise is coming from the center - Turn on one subwoofer at a time and see when the noise starts - Unplug/Replug the subwoofer cables, try a different cable - Is there a PC on a UPS or something plugged into the ... 
*DAC
@deep_333 how about a Niagra 3000?? I only have 3 components to plug in and I see one just came up for sale on USAM for under $2K. It’s 3 years old. @navyachts , the 3000 should work just fine too...think of it as a sonic upgrade for all and an... 
Borresen vs. Raidho
I have had an in-depth listening experience with a couple of different amps from 1 Raidho model only that my friend owns. Hence, I can't be for sure that all models are similar. It may be correct or incorrect to say that all Raidho models have an... 
Do You Buy Speakers Without Hearing Them?
It all comes down to IQ level of the engineer... If it's a high IQ engineer behind the speakers, for example, Andrew Jones  Michael Borresen Shinji Tarutani et al Yoshiyuki Kaku Greg Timbers Peter Comeau Masahiro Tobise Akira Nakamura, e... 
*DAC
I am down to the last piece of the puzzle. I am very happy with the sound of my system at this point, so I’m not sure if the DAC needs to be improved on. What I am looking for is to hear those background subtleties in the music a little more pron... 
Ditch your USB cable for Toslink? Might surprise you!
Eliminate the digital cable alltogether (streamer dac separates) and get a great sounding streamer+dac combo unit. But, apparently, some sales guy theory crafted/ told all the dudes that streamer dac separates lifted more veils (Not!!) ....and th... 
Borresen Loudspeakers
Don’t forget that Børresen speakers are always demoed with 150K of Ansuz cabling. And their bass and placement is really tailored to big rooms, just like the Raidhos Michael used to design.  Friend of mine has the big Raidho on 'cheap' blue jea... 
Borresen Loudspeakers
haha....no, not for me thank you......When I go to a concert.....the music is not coming from behind me. Good luck to you. I spent the entire evening last night listening to my X-3’s....I can’t believe how "realistic" to the actual music these sp... 
Volti Audio owners, is the fire still there?
 IIs the fire still there for your Volti speakers?  Do you still love them today as much as when they first hit the house?  I know Greg loves long wall speaker placement with relatively nearfield listening position.  @loki_ut , Who's 'Greg'? So... 
Fleetwood Deville vs Wilson Sound
Not sure why it’s surprising to you that a top notch speaker requires world class electronics. @audphile1 This is another big myth, a lie propagated by certain manufacturers. Here are some examples. I used to have the TAD Reference from A.J... 
Fleetwood Deville vs Wilson Sound
@audphile1 , I am not a stranger to the Wilson brand, i owned one of the original WAMMs for many many years. At some point, a guy has to wonder where the hell is the money getting spent when a manufacturer charges a measly 90k and above for a spea... 
Fleetwood Deville vs Wilson Sound
@deep_333 design decisions are made based on what sounds best and Wilson Audio manufactures their own components. When there’s better quality and more effective to source parts from external entities, then a decision is made to do so. It is a sma... 
Need stand recommendation for Gershman studio IIs
@berner99   1) Don't spend $1500 on stands for speakers that cost $3650. That is the pathway of  dudes with IQ below room temperature. 2) Isoacoustics /isolation wouldn't be a bad idea.  
TV power cords; Money well spent, or money wasted?
I am not exactly a 'videophile', but, I get discernible results from a cheaper AQ power conditioner with a couple of its outlet filters optimized for video (one of Garth Powell's toys). The TV  gets used for some demanding games...gpu ray tracing ... 
Borresen Loudspeakers
Bookshelf speakers are deficient in the base area. Most people I know who bought these things end up buying subwoofers. Also the drivers are too narrow, I’ve never why drivers keep getting smaller and smaller and smaller. Their marketing hype is ...
