| Searching For Gear Here On Audiogon Thank you….I am good i had another question but decided to delete as sometimes it isn’t worth the effort. I can’t delete the thread so deleted the question Sorry for the confusion | |
| Is Aurender N10 still a good option @saulh I have been using the Bluesound Node 2i for a few years as a streamer only. About a year ago I tried the N10 and was just not impressed. I really tried to love it and got a great deal used. I kept going back and forth and could just not a... | |
| Is it worth it? DAC question +1 kmcong I have had a similar path with my Node 2i I have moved through 4 different external DACs. Going RCA out of the Node to my Preamp makes my system sound so dry, dark and without detail. My progression of DACs all gave an improvement. ... | |
| Corner base trap- to the ceiling? I doubt there is any blanket strategy as all rooms are different. I worked with GIK and made aesthetics a top criteria. I have a bench with windows behind my speakers that creates two corners. I had custom trianglular bass traps made to come up... | |
| ARC REF 150SE vs REF 160S Great....it surely seems like a fabulous amp. Have any other differences stood out since your last post about the improved soundstaging? Sometimes it takes a while for our brain and ears to fully appreciate a change. Why would anyone hate you... | |
| ARC REF 150SE vs REF 160S @jldani2 Curous if you are still happy with your 160S or have moved up to the 160M MkIIs I have had the 75SE for a few years and have grown quite attached. I was able to audition a 150SE for a couple weeks and while the bass was a bit cleaner ... | |
| Recommend me a DAC under 3k @kuhyay I think we can all appreciate brand synergy for both sound and aesthetics. I see you are leaning to ANK which will match your other gear. i have had limited experiences with DACs with only two brands, Schiit and Audio Research. I s... | |
| Ethernet streaming I was expecting and hoping to see more about the dCS Bartok. I recently visited a dealer that was over the top of how amazing they are. There seem to be a fair share on the used market so that could be good or bad as they have a few levels up fr... | |
| Matching the cartridge to the phono stage https://www.audioadvice.com/acoustic-signature-rega-spacer-set+size-Small?gclid=CjwKCAjw_aemBhBLEiwAT98FMkrxUiHNO63shgYfNUZT_AYX4sxFKDMTyWtTEDyNu93lcM6UA7luhBoCjQ0QAvD_BwE | |
| Matching the cartridge to the phono stage @ajones82 My vote is to keep your Hana and listen to it.....I bet it will work just fine on the MC low setting and you will be happy. In my experience I have only seen the gain of a phono section. My phono stage has 74db in high setting and I h... | |
| Transparent Cable comparisons across both level and generation Thanks everyone for your ideas. Got the Super Gen 5 speaker cables connected last night and have been listening a lot since. I have not gone back to see how the difference compares but just from listening it does seem as if I am getting everythi... | |
| Transparent Cable comparisons across both level and generation Thanks, jafant! I just found an 8ft pair of Super Gen 5 yesterday for a good price so got those on order and the dealer is seeing what Gen 5 Super balanced IC he can get for me. He had one 1m pair and I need another plus a 5m. Excited for the... | |
| Transparent Cable comparisons across both level and generation Excellent...thanks for that! | |
| Transparent Cable comparisons across both level and generation @docknow Thanks for that insight. In my example, purchasing 20 year old Ultra speaker cables for $1400 vs new Gen 6 Super cables for $2200....would be better to get the new Supers, correct? The Ultras I saw are 4 generations behind the Gen 6. ... | |
| UPDATE. ARC REF 6 upgrade to 6SE. Oh that is great to hear for their service turn around. Sending positive vibes to MN for that team for whoever is taking over the helm. I didn't realize they were actually doing the upgrade, I thought they just provided a new 6SE and then the 6 ... |
