| Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West? Hi @Soix, I think I tried to say that. When i demo'd cables from the Cable Company I did not know much at all, and calling them, talking to them about my system, and then trying different companies was helpful. I returned them and tried others, ... | |
| Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West? I agree @pinthrift that the Cable Company is good way to demo different cables. But it is not free or even cheap, and of course the incentive is to pick one of the ?few that you demo and use your rental credits. I did this and ended up picking A... | |
| Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West? Hi @Soix and everyone. Interesting as always discussion with folks on each end and in the middle. I kind of come at the vinyl / digital issue from the fundamental end. I want to listen and hear the best reasonably (individual meaning of course)... | |
| Any favorites for cosmetics/design/how a product looks? For me the display must go completely dark. | |
| Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed? Hello @Robert1976, this is my second response to you so I may repeat some things. You have gotten many helpful responses and the expected skeptical ones as well. Recall I have Nucleus+ on my network and Tambaqui DAC with revealing SS electronic... | |
| Positioning B&W 802’s with spikes in hardwood? I would consider Isoacoustics Gaia feet. First use sliders to position, then remove the sliders and keep them on the Gaia's. | |
| My Major System Upgrades in 2022 and Impact of Each Wow @nyev! You have been busy! Congratulations and thanks for such a great summary. Your journey has been quite similar to mine, albeit a bit quicker! And it is fascinating in that while we each have upgraded almost identical components with ... | |
| Single vs Bi-wire Speaker Cable What I have learned is that it is actually the midrange that deserves the main cable. Now in almost all applications this means wire to the highs first, if you consider them high and low. In a true three way speaker it is wiring to the "mid and ... | |
| Pair of Rel S510’s or Carbon Special’s? I have both Carbon Limiteds and Carbon Specials in my two systems. Both are wonderful and are so much better than my previous Paradigm subs and many I have heard. I try to avoid the DSP. I get the word ONLY in where they are going. I said tha... | |
| Etheregen - doesn't seem right that it gets so hot, dangerous? Unpredictable? Last night I further experimented with my EtherRegen and Muon Streaming System going into my Tambaqui DAC. I first removed both and went direct ethernet (from my Silent Angel switch). The sound definitely became smaller and harsher. Then I put i... | |
| Single vs Bi-wire Speaker Cable I started with a good pair of speaker cables and matching jumpers. (K-S Elation). Then I swapped out the jumpers for another pair of Elation cables. Sounded better. This is apples to apples, not comparing a good cable with matching jumpers to ... | |
| Roon Core Server Player Yes this is great discussion thanks everyone! As I try to improve my digital, I come across this dilemma: HIgh end Server Streamers do just that. Serve and Stream. Even getting clarity on nomenclature is tricky as different manufacturers use d... | |
| Roon Core Server Player Hello @lalitk, (got it right this time! :) No, I have talked to EtherRegen and been advised that an upgraded power supply has little impact. I have however heard of huge improvements with modded Power Supply for Aries. BTW a few Amazon heat s... | |
| Roon Core Server Player Hi Laltik, Thanks for the kind words! I was looking at a clock very seriously, then pointed my efforts at the Muon Filter System. I am considering a Sean Jacobs Power Supply for my Aries. I also want to borrow the EtherRegen to my upstairs s... | |
| Roon Core Server Player Hi Doug, Before I had the Nucleus+ on the network, and the Tambaqui has factory installed internet bridge, so hardwired ethernet to the Tambaqui DAC from my Modem / Switch. Now I have the Aries on the network and USB to the DAC. Modem > Bonn... |
