| Hegel H160 -> Hegel H390 upgrade suggestion +1 on a second sub either way, as @soix has stated. but do you think a second sub would make that much of a difference when the lower frequencies are directionless anyways? This is sort of true. Very very low bass can be directionless. Try... | |
| Are higher end preamps worth the investment when you are only streaming Tidal & Spotify ? First, try Qobuz vs Tidal, if available to you. To most, Qobuz sounds better than Tidal and way better than Spotify. I only stream, and would love to make a new system without a preamp. But, so far, my systems sound better with a quality preamp. | |
| Building a 100 album vinyl collection 3 must have albums are? Genesis: Trespass, Foxtrot, Nursery Cryme, Selling England by the Pound, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. | |
| New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui +1 on your PS Audio comments @w123ale I went from PS Audio (dull) to Auralic Vega 2 (much more resolving but edgy) to MM Tambaqui. Amazing resolution, clarity, soundstage, imaging.. Adding a quality streamer brings it all home; more engaging, wa... | |
| I have perfected my network for the nth time I think a lot of people refer to 'buffering' when the sound (or tv) spins its wheels and reloads a bit. Buffering is the streamer or tv downloading ahead of playback to have a reserve so to speak of info and hopefully never be behind. Stutterin... | |
| I have perfected my network for the nth time Hello @lalitk, I have not heard the top Aurender models. but the S1 is easily better than the Aries G2.0 and sounds slightly better than the MU1. I am still a Roon fan. I have two systems and two additional (bedroom / bathroom) endpoints so I e... | |
| I have perfected my network for the nth time @ghdprentice I tend to want to do both! Optimize the network then add a very good streamer! I currently have a JCAT XACT S1 Streamer on trial from Marcin at JCAT. It is sounding amazing. It runs JPLAY, Marcin's proprietary software. It does ... | |
| I have perfected my network for the nth time Hello @singingg , Wow. We have done many similar things in our network optimization. I never tried optical though, and probably won't. One thing I have not done is upgrade the power supply to my ONT terminal in my garage. I also have one long... | |
| The best speaker cables you’ve had +1 @danmar123 on the FS a36. I just made and replaced my speaker wires which were generic 8g copper with new Furutech FS a36 which I terminated with Furutech gold plated spades (very nice). I ran this pair to the high inputs, and kept the older ... | |
| Has anyone heard the TAD Evo One and the Raidho TD floorstanders? How do they compare? Yes very nice @blisshifi ! Since I am sure you know my two sets of speakers, can you elaborate on how comparably sized Borenson and Raidho speakers compare and contrast? I have YG Hailey 2's, which I am guessing you will say are even more accura... | |
| Need Advice on Amplifiers At any price point, Audionet. Best of Solid State with definition and clarity, while also having great midrange and bass and not fatiguing | |
| Speaker that are 'KEEPERS" for the long haul!!! I use Audionet Max amps with my Salon 2's. In my cathedral ceiling family room the soundstage is very deep and high. | |
| Speaker that are 'KEEPERS" for the long haul!!! Hello @kennymacc , I also own and love the Salon 2's. About 7 years ago, I set out to move my venerable B/W N802's downstairs and wanted new speakers for our family room. Sound of course for me, but my lady was tired of the B/W look. We spent ... | |
| Cable elevators Joe from Kubala Sosna says let them sit on the floor. I agree with @jallan , depends on cable design. | |
| New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui So based on that (thank you) I guess volume offset is just the same as turning the MM volume down -2db. But it is once and done, and the -2db does not seem to reduce sound quality at least to my ears.. 6v output still works and I do not have an... |
