| Cables to settle brightness +1 on upgrading the DAC. Your amp, preamp and speakers ae al in the 'not bright at all' category (to me). Many will recommend the dac and or streamer /dac they have. Plenty of smoother DACs out there, and you have expensive gear. Demo some! ... | |
| Help finding a subwoofer Thank you for those great responses. | |
| Help finding a subwoofer +1 @winnardt about REL quality and sound. As to the high pass filter @dynamiclinearity I agree there are pros and cons. Full range speakers and good amplification can handle full signal. The quality of the high pass filter is hugely important in... | |
| Ethernet - Analog/Digital Signal Clean Up Great topic thanks @audiphile1! So many great responses resonate with my experience. A few comments from my own personal experience: !) Streaming DAC or separate streamer? Well I thought my streaming Tambaqui was the sh** and so I do not need ... | |
| Help finding a subwoofer @ieales Hi I do get the line level and rolling off the main speakers. This can ease up the main amplifier and not stress the woofers of the main speakers. I did this with my bookshelf speakers. But IMOH I feel large 'full range' speakers soun... | |
| Help finding a subwoofer I was very attracted to the iphone control of the SVS subs. But I feel the REL Carbon Specials sounded much better for music. It does take a bit of up and down adjustments to get them dialed in, but then you forget where they even are. They go ... | |
| Looking For The Best Pre-Amp Match For A Pair of Classe Omega Amplifiers @neonknight - I also had in home demo of McIntosh C2700 tube preamp and C53 SS preamp. Both sounded veiled compared to the same amps with Audionet. I had heard what a great match Classe / McIntosh and B and W are. (I had 802Ns at the time) but fo... | |
| Looking For The Best Pre-Amp Match For A Pair of Classe Omega Amplifiers I had Classe amps with my Classe SSP-800. Fairly good for both music and video, but unreliable and not as good as a dedicated two channel preamp. It was the Classe processor's second failure that got me started down the rabbit hole of better sou... | |
| Most economical way to ship large speakers? Dealers seem to pay way less than whatever I find on multiple sites. I have heard Parcel Monkey but not used personally. If you are buying new from a dealer I would ask to purchase a shipping label from them. When I shipped two big subs from Ma... | |
| Basic switch....should I upgrade? @wsrrsw Exciting yes! I hope it is worth it. Yes Marcin's English is so good it made me wonder if I had the right guy! :) I have an HDPLEX linear power supply with two outputs (two rails I think) One powers my Nucleus+ and the other powers m... | |
| Basic switch....should I upgrade? @lollipopguild - I have not tried Eno but I have Muon and do not think it is analytical. I actually have two! Rich at Network Acoustics could help you with differences. I do not use fiber. I would have an EtherRegen in front of both, but I on... | |
| Bluesound Node2 with outboard DAC I had a Node 2 and used it with it's internal DAC and as a streamer. Upgrading to an Auralic Aries Streamer made a big improvement, and I think you have the other equipment to hear it! | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 I will stick with my Tambaqui. It is very revealing but not at all harsh or tiresome with good electronics. Compare prices after talking with the distributor, not the list price.. | |
| What’s your latest high-end audio purchase? I modified my Auralic Aries Streamer with a custom power supply by Sean Jacobs. Huge improvement! | |
