| Integrated amp: Component weight @cundare2 I totally get it! I had my second back surgery 11 days ago. My first back surgery 20 months ago. Music Is my nervana and when I came home I was so glad to have it! don't compromise too much on sound for the weight; you will regret it... | |
| Integrated amp: Component weight Hello @cundare2 ! You have some nice options and seem headed on the right track with Ayre, the older on newer Naim 200 series and Coda. I have heard two others that I like. The Audionet Watt weighs 55 pounds but is very very good. It checks al... | |
| Opinions on Silnote Cables I think Silnote is a great value and a great cable. I have two 2m Orion M1 Master Reference power Cables available...as new. | |
| New Network Acoustics Tempus switch Thank you for your soft words on your perspective @jji666. I am the first to agree that I take things to the nth level, and for many or most this might not be their chosen path. But I do hear the improvements, stand by this, and to me it is wort... | |
| Subwoofer - is there one that would work in this situation? Everyone is gonna say you need two. Two are better. But one is better than zero if you can adjust the roll off and volume to 'barely there'. I had one single sub exactly where you describe in a Salamander three wide cabinet under the TV. Even ... | |
| Dog pissed on speaker I have used the spray 'Nature's Miracle' on carpet before successfully... works for stains and odor, but can not say how much you could safely spray on a driver... | |
| You tube hifi influencers. Love them or hate them? EZ. Just dont turn on Youtube. Listen to music.; it sounds better. I do read specific reviews, but always with a shaker of salt. | |
| Stuff You Tried To Love I really wanted to like the Blue Lights. Got a C2700 preamp new on trial and back it went. Looked nice though. I also had a much longer love hate relationship with my Auralic Aries G2. Even modified the power supply. It was just plain finic... | |
| Handling Heavy Amps Hello @jfrmusic to me the Benchmark amps were on the dry and sterile side compared to the organic and lifelike qualities of Audionet. The Audionet are extremely resolving, but not fatiguing or overetched. Very full spectrum natural sound with wh... | |
| Roon Endpoint Streamers - Direct Comparisons between Current Offerings? My experiences for optimizing Roon Sound: -I am a lifetime Roon subscriber for some time and love the features. -avoid all DSP as much as possible as to me it adds noise. You don't hear noise per say, but it destroys the soundstage and ambi... | |
| Handling Heavy Amps ...and finally, I am in tune with your concerns. I am back two days now from having two (more) discs replaced and bone spurs on my spine removed. Music is my nervana, and I am appreciative to have had great help assembling my system! | |
| Handling Heavy Amps ...and there is NO comparison to the Benchmark amps (again and always to me). I have had them in for direct comparison. They are light I agree. What did interest me at the CAF was the WestminsterLab Class A's, which were lighter and cooler than... | |
| Handling Heavy Amps Hello @jfrmusic , amps are indeed heavy, but those seem to sound amazing to me! If you are in NJ, I strongly recommend my dealer Bill Parish at GTT. HIs Audionet amps to me are the best, and his services is par none. I have moved up the Audion... | |
| Roon Endpoint Streamers - Direct Comparisons between Current Offerings? Hello @ghasley , Yes, 100%. I use my Grimm MU1 as Core / streamer in my main system and my second system uses my onboard Tambaqui in my Makua as Roon endpoint. But the internal Bridge / Streamer in the Makua (Tambaqui) is not as good as the Gri... | |
| Zavfino and Neotech OCC Interconnect Hi @temmple, While I use K-S Realization in my home system, I have found the Zafvino Arcadia interconnects an amazing value in my weekend home. It is unfair to compare these two, just as it is unfair to compare the Zaffino's to many of these oth... |
