| longshot but any comparisons of Rogue RP-5 v2 and Audio-GD Vacuum HE1-XLR @roxy54 you mean you've spotted a typo in the repost? the original title has "Audio-GR" and figured some wise guy would be "what's that?" you wouldn't be that guy ;) | |
| Component contributions to “sound stage” @williewonka just read a Morrow Audio blog. cotton is king. For interconnect cables and speaker cables, cotton has proven to be an exceptional insulation with a D.C. around 1.3 | |
| Component contributions to “sound stage” for me, this was an obvious answer. bought a used CJ PV-12 and wow! soundstage and not just LR but depth (if only we'd had MQA, I could add height -joking). EVERYTHING else same- speakers, placement, room acoustics, DAC, amp, cables, home wirin... | |
| Tube preamp with Adcom amp I started my mid-fi journey with NAD, then Adcom. my hi-fi started when I added a CJ PV12-L for a preamp with the Adcom 5400. I have never heard depth in soundstage like that first listen. Always targeted the L-R soundstage but the CJ was 3D. I... | |
| Musical subwoofer under $2000 I have ML ESL-X for 2channel and wanted something "quick" to blend with electrostats. SVS was an excellent option. as others mentioned, DSP app lets you dial it in. My experience with SVS: beyond good! - ordered an SP2000-pro AND a micro (dua... | |
| ARC amplifier with Conrad Johnson Preamp I had the CJ-PV12L and regret not trying replacement tubes. It had two issues that didn’t get resolved in the shop. audible noise at low volume also channel imbalance. it has a balance control, and the noise didn’t increase with the gain, so could... | |
| how does the app affect Sound Quality once streamer connects to the provider endpoint? @ghdprentice thank your responding. you have adderssed the bits I already understand. OP (me) is questioning why many posters say aurender's or lumin's or or auralic's roon app sounds better. the SQ question- which should be moot when using ... | |
| Looking for an all-in-one just-add-speakers streamer for my son to take to college OP didn't mention budget, but I am very pleased with Arylic for my "not the main system" $153 on sale https://www.arylic.com/products/arylic-a50-wifi-bluetooth-multiroom-full-digital-hifi-amplifier-with-airplay-dlna-multiroom-control i have thei... | |
| New blog post: Living with Focal Speakers my Focal experience is in the car, and those titanium inverted dome tweeters in the front pillars sing and ring! About as good a reproduction as one can get of the live sound of a drummer riding a cymbal, might well be fatiguing in the home, but ... | |
| New computer for Streaming???? OP the computer will just be for an app that is the User Interface. Personally, I like a tablet- ipad if you are an apple fan. you just view information and select your music on it. The streaming bits with the music content go directly from the... | |
| Auralic Altair vs Aires G1.1 answering my own question. The Streamer (Altair) cannot function as a transport! no digital outs. the pics show the digital ins so it can be used as a DAC/Preamp/headphone amp. So, if you have your own well regarded DAC, you would need to get ... |
