| Rosso Fiorentino Arno 40 speakers Great speakers/Beautiful music @dayglow I don’t know anything about Chario, but the look reminds me of Edifer. | |
| Rosso Fiorentino Arno 40 speakers Great speakers/Beautiful music The Certaldo 2 is at the top of my speaker replacement list and very curious if the Arno 40 is a worthy upgrade over the Certaldo 2. Will be attending Axpona 2025 to narrow down my speaker choices to 3. @dayglow I've owned the Certaldos 1 for s... | |
| Phono Cables for Sutherland 20/20 mk1? Awesome, thank you @audphile1 | |
| Phono Cables for Sutherland 20/20 mk1? @jperry Any idea on the cost of a modification? The used one I had a lead on has come and gone, but I’d be curious to keep that in mind for the future. Especially if I end up purchasing at retail. | |
| Phono Cables for Sutherland 20/20 mk1? @chayro Cardas *phono* (aka tonearm) cables are not sold as two separate cables. https://upscaleaudio.com/collections/tonearm-cables?filter.v.price.gte=&filter.v.price.lte=&filter.p.vendor=Cardas&sort_by=title-ascending This config... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords I never understand the confirmation bias argument. When I demo cables, I DON’T want to hear a difference. And I only buy the cables when I can hear a difference. But to me, cables are some of the least exciting upgrades to make in a system. Havin... | |
| Where's the next weak link in my analog chain? I’m really not sure, but either way it seems to support the idea of upgrading the power cable on the LPS at some point. For the record, the switching power supplies that came with the 20/20 had cables included, but that was mk1 version, and when... | |
| Where's the next weak link in my analog chain? @sokogear The 20/20 LPS did come with a standard power cable. I do plan to experiment with different power cables at some point in the coming weeks, but not rushing for it unless I find a great deal on one of my preferred cables. | |
| Streamer + DAC help: Bluesound vs Eversolo (vs Others) With a $5K budget, streamer dac option I would be strongly considering the Lumin P1 Mini. You may also be able to find a used Lumin P1 if you are patient. Or you could get a Lumin U2 mini + the dac of your choice. I have not used Aurlic products... | |
| Where's the next weak link in my analog chain? @slaw I have an AQ Hurricane on my amp and my dac. A friend was over and he said to try the hurricane from the DAC on the TT. I initially thought that's a dumb idea but we have it here so why not. I was honestly very surprised by what I heard. I c... | |
| Where's the next weak link in my analog chain? Soundsmith also sounds great the few times I've heard them. | |
| Where's the next weak link in my analog chain? @mswale I’m very jealous, but that would certainly make the cost of retipping a significant factor. I finally did some upgrades to my headphone system at my desk for WFH days. Too much zoom to sit at the stereo all though unfortunately. | |
| Where's the next weak link in my analog chain? HRS Nimbus I do wonder how these would sound compared to the stock feet, which are also made by HRS. | |
| Where's the next weak link in my analog chain? @dekay What is the TT placed on? The Ultradeck comes stock with HRS feet which do a pretty good job, and I have the TT set on a VTI rack. | |
| Where's the next weak link in my analog chain? @mswale That's my dilemma with a $1k cart is the almost yearly needle replacement cost. Yearly? How much are you spinning? Over 4 full albums per day? |
