| Signature Anti-Cables I too have Paul's reference double speaker cable. I only have about 50 hours on them. No huge improvement over the standards so far. Highs seem a bit more extended and do notice an improvement (small) in sound stage. Will report back after another... | |
| NOLA Boxers in my space To get back to the essence of the thread, I am exactly where you are. I have been in this hobby/obsession for more than 30 years. I started with Tymponys and have had everything from those to B&W to Apogees.I have had the Boxers for only one w... | |
| NOLA Boxers in my space There are many that have changes in listening environments that force a move from full range to monitors, regardless of price. I just went from B&W 803S to a pair of Nola Boxers I picked up yesterday.And here's my story about Carl and Marilyn.... | |
| Best small speakers? Has anyone spent time with the Nola Boxers? I understand they come in significantly lower than the price stated by the OP, but reading pretty good reviews. | |
| Oversampling rate in J River Thanks. No knock on Steve's product. I'm sure it has added value. Thanks to everyone. Will continue the journey. | |
| Oversampling rate in J River Ekwisnek:I used the settings published by W4S for the DAC for J River. I am using Media center 16 and had it set on no oversampling. I am using Kernel Streaming, as recommended by W4S. I had no other DSP settings in use.of course, I have the W4S d... | |
| which output setting sounds best? I have been using a Wyred4Sound Dac2 which is asynchronous. Also using J Rivers 16 with Vista. Wyred4 sound recommends Kernel Streaming, but I have switched numerous times back and forth between KS and Wasapi Event with almost no perceivable diffe... | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendo I had the opportunity to hear the Crescendos in a retailer's home here in NY with the Ayon Triton powering them, sourced through one of the Ayon cd players. The room did have some acoustic treatments.I spent about an hour.The soundstage, imaging a... | |
| digital room correction Steve, I assume that the specific positioning is in the far corners behind the speakers? Is it just that easy? | |
| digital room correction Thanks to all. I might get away with some good looking corner traps, but I think that would be about it.I have the speakers about three inches at the back of the speaker in front of the cabinet.I do have nicely focused voicing and fairly good deta... | |
| Wyred 4 Sound Dac1 vs. Dac2 Well, afteer starting this post, I bought the Dac2 in early Deccember. Used it for a few weeks after burn in as an outboard DAC for my OPPO BD83 and it excelled. Then took advvantage of the asynchronous USB with my PC and was absolutely blown away... | |
| J River Vs. Media Monkey Do they sound different In an attempt to hijack my own thread, I was wondering if anyone has had good results with a particular USB cable. I'm using a cheap Radio Shack 3 mete ( to reach my sofa0 right now and am looking to make an investment in a quality ($250-$500)USB ... | |
| J River Vs. Media Monkey Do they sound different Digilog5, I did run both KS and Wasapi event for hourrs this weekend and would agree that Wasapii event is a tad more revealing.As a beginner with a PC-based source, I would say that the sofftware is at least quirky. The ripping software is temper... | |
| J River Vs. Media Monkey Do they sound different Plato:Thanks to everyone. Plato, setup was pretty simple. i read a lot before I set up J River. The only real issue was making sure Kernel Streaming or Wasapi was selected.Are there tweaks or hidden issues that you found made a difference in using... | |
| Bel Canto Dac 3 or Wyred 4sound Dac2 Unfortunately, have not heard the Bel Canto, but for what its worth, just set up a Wyred 4 Sound Dac2 in my system yesterday. Right out of the box I found it very impressive. |
