| Downsize from C2200/MC275 to integrated SS If you are looking at Nagra and Burmester, you should look at the Audionet Humboldt. Probably the best integrated, but does not include a phono. It is LARGE. If you like your double tubed McIntosh sound, any of these SS integrateds will sound di... | |
| Long Run of Speaker Cabling Hello @rbschauman I have a very similar situation with equipment on the side and one 18' run and one 30' run to speakers. I have very nice power cables and interconnects, but the long runs were daunting. I first used double runs of 10 gauge OCC ... | |
| Best and Worst customer service? @cantorgale , there is no way Roon can have the WORST customer service. They do not have any customer service at all. :) | |
| Moving Roon to new core Yes it will all transfer. Good idea to back up Roon Core before you do it. I lost everything once, and it was extensive playlists that were the most painful loss. You can download a pdf of those also before transfer. | |
| Suggestions for a holographic preamp? Audionet is often praised for it's holographic sound. No tubes or tricks. I have owned the BHK pre and would not recommend it. Others' experience will certainly vary. | |
| Just got a new power amp Erik | |
| Just got a new power amp I do know Audionet recommends single ended interconnects to avoid op amps. Thanks Eric. | |
| Just got a new power amp Can someone discuss the pros and cons of 'op amps' that ? must convert balanced signals to single ended signals? It is my understanding some equipment thus sounds better with single ended cables vs balanced cables. | |
| COAX Cable Recommendations.... need some glitter Hello @whyrichard , as usual, @ghdprentice is giving sage advice. You did say 'calm the shrill' so maybe we are agreeing, but glitter often does coincide with harsh, fatiguing overextended highs which at first sound amazing and then lead to liste... | |
| Triangle Magellan Duetto 40th Anniversary Hello, perhaps one of my points came across wrong. "I have nice electronics and Audionet Max amps". My point here is that stand mount speakers are often paired with lesser electronics or amps. In stores, the big speakers are usually displayed ... | |
| USBe Perfect Hookup?? I am sorry, what is USB "e"? | |
| Triangle Magellan Duetto 40th Anniversary Hello @j-wall , I recently changed (upgraded!) from very large floor standers (Revel Salon 2) to stand mounts and could not be happier. In my family room which is not small, the Revel's dominated and took up a large amount of space. I bought a p... | |
| Popping sound Before switching tubes, try switching the speaker wires. After that you can switch the interconnects from pre to amp | |
| Sharing some audio recordings from my listening session this past weekend artists? | |
| DAC suggestions? I find the Auralic Altair (I have a 2.1 and a 1.1 in a vacation home) sound great, are solid on wifi or wired and have an easy to use software package. I run Roon at home but not at the vaca house. Also easy to use by remote app or with on scree... |
