| Schiit - shipments stopped? I ordered a Jotunheim R last Thursday night, it shipped Friday and it is arriving this Thursday with standard shipping. My third piece of Schiit :) | |
| Tube Amplifier with Martin Logan Summit X I am a long-term CLS and CLX owner and have always driven them with tubes. Purchased CLSI's and drove them with an ARC D115mkII (100 watts) in the 80's and subsequently upgraded the speakers all the way through CLSIIz's (and had Entec subs). Abo... | |
| Recommendation Temporary DAC Schiit Bifrost for $700 has both XLR/RCA inputs and outputs. It's also a pretty good DAC for the money. | |
| Overwhelmed newbie confused about Schiit DAC modules I had two version of the Bifrost before the Multibit and although they were nice, they did not excite me or make me want to listen to music. The Multibit upgrade totally changed that, for me. It was digital that finally sounded close to music and... | |
| Music from a laptop- on AC or via battery power? With my MBP I could hear no difference between battery and powered. There was a near instantaneous improvement in replacing the MBP with a Roon Nucleus. A much quieter background (lower noise) that let you hear deeper into the music. I was quit... | |
| Thinking to upgrade from Audio Research LS27 to LS28 I had an LS28 and was very impressed. Then I picked up a REF6 at a good price. It is better, but not by much (10%?). Certainly not as much as the price difference. I suspect the LS28SE has now pulled up to near equal with the REF6. Email ARC ... | |
| What are your experiences with upgrading power cords on KEF LS50 wireless? I think so as well. They went into a storage unit with my ARC and Martin-Logan gear when I moved out of my Manhattan apartment and I didn’t feel like going to dig them out. | |
| What are your experiences with upgrading power cords on KEF LS50 wireless? Hours of Zoom later ...In March I moved out of my Manhattan apartment to a friend’s in-law apartment on Long Island and took my Roon Nucleus and LS50w’s as my "pandemic" system. The Nucleus was connected to a Google WiFi endpoint via ethernet, as ... | |
| What are your experiences with upgrading power cords on KEF LS50 wireless? @indyvwI have replaced the power cables on my KEF LS50 wireless speakers and evaluated the change. I have to run off to several Zooms for work, but will report back tonight or tomorrow night.As far as I can tell, I am the only one on this thread t... | |
| Audio Research Amplifier Balanced Input Question I ran into this same problem when I purchased a REF110 to replace my D115mkII when I owned a AI M3a. I was told that adaptors would not work well, leading to higher distortion. I ended up purchasing a LS16mkII and buying balanced cables. | |

| MacBook Pro streamer Have you played with the "Audio MIDI Setup" control panel? Do a command+spacebar to search for it.If you getting it working, consider purchasing the "BitPerfect" app for $10. Really made the USB sound out of my MBPs much better.Then once you are... | |
| Unbelievable 3-D imaging sound I've had Martin-Logan CLSs and CLXs for over 30 years. I like them more like 3 feet minimum, to preferably 6 feet or more from the back wall. I also like them perfectly upright. A laser tape measure and a digital level can be very helpful at ge... | |
| Unbelievable 3-D imaging sound @preslisa64: I have found that running PBK is huge. Hearing bass runs up and down the neck with the notes at relatively equal volumes really adds to the realism. Do it ASAP, and let us know what you think. |
