| dCS Bartok Apex vs any similar priced DAC Hello @seadog137, I have directly compared the Dave to my Tambaqui and easily chose the Tambaqui. but it does improve with a great preamp, and I agree wholeheartedly on the Makua w onboard Tambaqui. The volume control on the Tambaqui alone is no... | |
| New Speaker advice Hi @mattsaunders2000 , you are getting good advice @soix @ghdprentice are as usual spot on. I myself had the 3As with top Denon AVR. Then I got a fairly nice Classe amp and thought I had arrived. I upgraded my DAC, but indeed the AVR even ... | |
| Earth (isolated) ground vs. wall outlet ground. Great answers thanks. But what of the grounding posts on much equipment, including grounding blocks and common grounding of equipment I have seen mentioned? Are these only for systems with poor electrical grounding? | |
| Best Full-Function Preamplifier Hello @psnyder149 great comments on Bill at gtt audio. He is a great guy and has amazing equipment. He has commented that the Makua (and Tambaqui) are the stars of the MM lineup. Your set up is similar to one of mine, in that I had Classe amps... | |
| Integrated Question Hello @amboguzzi, If the A3 is significantly better than the A2 it must be amazing, but is seriously more money and now you are comparing to the Boulder etc. +1 @ghdprentice on the Luxman. Maybe I did not hear the right one, but it was thin and... | |
| Integrated Question I am enjoying my newly acquired barely used Soulnote A-2. I was looking for an integrated for my weekend home, and this came along. At 100 watts per, I was a bit worried about power. But it is more than adequate to drive my venerable 802 Nautil... | |
| TV size for Sonos arc @lalitk 4" from top of ARC to bottom of TV? I am setting this up for my daughter! TV will be wall mounted, not sure of sound bar. And question, is Subwoofer only wireless with Sonus? no wired connection from ARC soundbar to an older non Sonus ... | |

| Auralic Aries to Roon Wired connection? I had issues with my network connecting to my Aries G2.1. I needed to turn it off and reboot quite a few times. Does it boot up and play music? Have you activated the Aries in the Roon Settings? Can you see the Aries in Roo... | |
| Best Full-Function Preamplifier Mola Mola Makua and you can get it also with the Tambaqui onboard. | |
| Home network Fibre optic vs Ethernet +1 @mitch2 ! Except for the fact that I have not run fiber, my digital front is quite similar to yours. My modem has WiFi disabled, M12 switch w LPS, 30 feet of Supra cat 8, Net Isolator from NA, then their Muon System. All of these upgrades I... | |
| I have perfected my network for the nth time Most of my cables have a direction label on them. So I follow it. If there is no label, makes sense to try it both ways. Can't hurt. Some probably can never hear it even if there is a difference. IMHO, the switch as close as possible to the s... | |
| How serious are you? Easily an 8 + room. Check dedicated line (4) check meticulous set up. Check sweet spot in the dark…all equipment dark or masked…check No distractions..HVAC off…check Serious. https://i.imgur.com/Wcn89T8.png | |
| Aurender integrated streamer/DACs Very nice discussion! So many of us have been there, starting with a Node. I did, and then started upgrading the DAC. I was not even streamer focused at this time, and I had Roon on a Nucleus+. So Node > PS Audio DS > Auralic Vega 2 >... |
