| HDMI i2s Cable I have the phasure hdmi2 and recently acquired the tubulus argentus. Long story short, Phasure has a bit of emphasis on the highs and a more forward presentation. Tubulus has more low end weight and nice mids and midbass, with quite a neutral uppe... | |
| Musical Fidelity, Hegel, Intoll amps suggestion? So I managed to have a quick audition of the hegel h190 but I think the speakers it was paired with at the time were not too good, so it didn't really leave an impression. The price I was quoted for the hegel h190 was about usd3.8k. I can import t... | |
| Musical Fidelity, Hegel, Intoll amps suggestion? I assume you mean the Atoll amps.Ah yes you're right!Thanks for the input. As I've zero chance to demo Atoll amps, I have to rely on other user impressions. On a side note, I've had to change my musical fidelity option to m5si due to cabinet space... | |
| HDMI i2s Cable To the op.If u get the phasure, keep in mind they're quite stiff and inflexible and don't bend too well, so plan out your cable route and buy the appropriate length. I have heard similar for the tubulus cable, and read a post on headfi that if ben... | |
| Synergistic UEF Blue v. Cerious Graphene Matrix Power v. Mad Scientist Audio Nitro Nano This is the first time I've heard of cerious. Thanks for mentioning them. Im looking at their matrix xlr interconnects. They're priced similarly to Transparent Ultra xlr (second hand). Has anyone tried these cables? By the way sorry for the thread... | |
| HDMI i2s Cable I have not tried the tubulus, but am using the phasure hdmi2 cable. I like it a lot, and it definitely sounds better than an AQ Carbon. I've not tried any other jumper config on it, other than the one which it was sent over with. I was looking at ... | |
| power cord with Niagara 1200 I'm using the niagara 1200 with the AudioQuest NRG Z3. I asked the dealer and he mentioned this was the recommended cable with the 1200. I have no complaints with this combo.By the way, I'm also a fan of triode wire labs stuff and have several of ... | |
| What Signalyst HQPlayer settings do you use? My usual settings.. PCM 384, sinc-m, lns15DSD 256, ext2 or xtr mp 2s, asdm7ecThe above are a good starting point and then just change out one setting at a time until u find something u like. | |
| What are the top 3 USB cables being used today in reference systems? Am looking at the fta callisto, but sablon 2020 is also a consideration. Anyone tried both and have any good comparisons made?I had the Curious Evolved and sold it. At present, using black magic usb, triode wire labs discrete usb, and phasure lush2. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Would you guys think it'd be a waste to connect DI SEs directly to an av receiver? Or would using the avr pre outs to a power amp and then the DIs be a whole lot better?Also, for HT setup, anyone tried the DI centers? | |
| need recommendations for standmount speakers So what did you think about the sierras, and what did you decide on?I think I made the right choice. They went well with my small-ish room. They have good low extension and tight punchy bass. There is a good amount of bass, so much so that I could... | |
| need recommendations for standmount speakers Hi everyone. Just an update. I decided to pull the trigger on the ascend acoustics Sierra 2ex and they are arriving today. Took about 4 days to ship from usa to Singapore via DHL. Had to fork out for some hefty shipping, PayPal fees, cc conversion... | |
| need recommendations for standmount speakers I checked with the dealer yesterday; there were no foam bungs in place.Went to audition the Focal Aria 906. They were connected to a Naim Uniti. Mids and bass were good, but occasionally sounded a bit muddy and congested when passages were complex... | |
| need recommendations for standmount speakers I just wanted to give a quick update. No more speaker recommendations needed for now as I’ll have my work cut out for me trying to demo some of the speakers above. Yesterday i managed to audition the Dynaudio Special 40 again. The Dyn S40 was hook... | |
