| Building a music room To be clear here, you are at a budget of $2-$3K all in for speakers, amp, digital front end and need a phono preamp included. It needs to stream music and have a dac? | |
| Tube Testing Service Recommendation +2 for Western Glow, I have used him several times, he tested some tubes for me to verify before selling and then he tested/matched 18 Telefunken 12AX7's for me. | |
| Legacy Audio Focus SE Bi-Amp or Not Bi-Amp Legacy offers a Balancer to attenuate one of your amps, just call or message them. I think it is $100 Here is their response: " We recommend utilizing either a Wavelet 2 or this balancer (photo below) which is available from us for $100+ship... | |
| New Aurender conductor V4 app I went back to V3. I couldn't add a track to my Qobuz playlists by touching the 3 dots on the right of the track selection on V4. | |
| What Gear Has Disappointed You? Mini DSP SHD studio for Dirac live room correction on my 2 ch rig. Placed prior to the DAC it was never able to "sync" with my system and made it sound a little "strange" and I lost the tube magic. I did hear a bit better bass and it fleshed out s... | |
| New Aurender conductor V4 app I updated to V4 today but I having trouble adding a song to a Qobuz playlist. If I do a search and find an album and I want to add a song from it to one of my playlists I can’t. When I tap the 3 dots it says add to playlist, but the Qobuz playilst... | |
| DH Labs power cables Sorry, I am late here but was in a remote area camping and no wi fi and wek cell service. As @blisshifi mentioned. I had ordered a set of 4 Meter Air Matriz cryo XLR's for my new Legacy Audio Focus XD's. Upon getting them set up I had an issue in... | |
| No love for Legacy Audio I too have a pair of Legacy Focus XD's, which I have only had for about 2 weeks. So still breaking in, I also have a Wavelet II on order to get some control over the bass, but these are very good speakers. I am using a VAC Renaissance 70/70 Signat... | |
| PSVANE ACME 300B TUBES I wish, but I need 2 matched quads and they are simply out of my price range. The Genelex PB 300's were $1750! | |
| Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping? My first "go" at this was many years ago when I got my Genesis V speakers that came with an outboard amp/crossover and used my VAC tube amp on top. My next setup was the internally powered Golden Ear Triton 1.r speakers which also "bi- amp" the ba... | |
| What new gear have you just bought? Yesterday I got my new Legacy Audio Focus XD speakers going, now I am burning them in. I traded my old speakers in for the Legacy Wavelet II which I will get in a few weeks, then I am done for a while. Next upgrade will be a DAC most likely. But t... | |
| Lush and Romantic Tube Amps @rcprince I have owned the VAC Renaissance 70/70 for 20 years, recently updated by VAC to their "signature" version 5 months ago. I don't consider it to lean towards a warm tuby sound. It is rather transparent, with a beautiful "realistic" midran... | |
| Subwoofer Advice & Therapy :) I can only respond with regard to the 1723 1s. I have one in my HT set up so no experience in my 2ch rig. This is a very good sub and often surprises me as for it’s tunefulness for music and how powerful it is in HT. It’s a 13 inch driver/sealed b... | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update All I can say is prior to 3.5 update my Venus II was 000111 I2s setting. After the update it remained 000111 and I use a Tublus Argentus I2s cable. I have no preamp right now so I cannot listen but it registers as receiving the correct signal. (44... | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update There is a new Venus II/12th firmware version V3.5 vs the "old" update V3.3. Has anyone tried it? Any comparison changes, vs V1 or V3.3? We updated my Venus II to V3.5 yesterday and it's running non-stop now for burn in. My problem is I have no p... |
