| diffuser or absorption panels, which would you choose? If you were only to do one thing to a room it would be big bass absorbers on each side wall, cover the wall with them. Not the corners, the side walls. Getting bass under control is job 1, always. | |
| Legacy Focus XD - will I ever upgrade? I am looking at the Focus SE or XD for my VAC Renaissance 70/70 Signature amp. My room is a well treated 14 x 18 x 6.5 basement dedicated listening room. I keep my speakers almost 7 feet off the front wall and 3.5 feet off side walls. My current s... | |
| New DAC or New Streamer? @audiotroy What model EVO and in what way was it better than the Aurender? The only one I could afford would be the EVO High End model. | |
| Lumin U2 Mini @oddiofyl Which Dig connection are you using with N200, Spdif or USB? Cable Brand? | |
| Speakers that are good with tubes @jchiappinelli I drive my Triton 1.r's with a VAC Renaissance 70/70 amp @65 WPC, they sound great too! | |
| VAC preamps - too expensive? @three_easy_payments The Pre amp went from Mk II to Mk III, so it is like new now. The Amp is @ Mk II and will be Mk III Signature. Both units will be like new and I have had them both for over 20 years, they are very well built. In this ver... | |
| Speakers that are good with tubes Legacy Audio, Goldenear Triton Ref's or 1.r's. | |
| Legacy Audio Focus XD @stereo5 That would be the plan. I am looking for more overall transparency, better layered sound staging with out sacrificing the outstanding bass I have. My amp has such a holographic soundstage and imagery I want to hear it as much as I can a... | |
| Legacy Audio Focus XD @stereo5 They can be "bi Amped" with a tube amp like how you are running your T refs. Interestingly enough I have the Triton 1.r's. | |
| DAC recommendations @earthbound I think you would find the Venus II a very worthy DAC, you can stream into it from your CXN until you retire it for a different streamer and get very good sound. The R2R DACs take a long time for break in. | |
| Add a Linear power supply or iFi SPDIF Purifier2? Beatechnik Audio sells LHY LPS and they are a reputable dealer unlike the sketchy ones found on Aliexpess. You can trust Alvin Chee. | |
| Power cable break in? @lak I just left my pre amp on for a couple days. It's a VAC tubed pre. | |
| Power cable break in? @audphile1 Yeah I got all of that now and it's good to go. Interesting how different PC's will mate with different pieces. I tripped over this pairing reading an old Absolute Sound review. Dynamics and leading edge transient speed is invigoratin... | |
| Power cable break in? Meanwhile back at the Ranch, the power cord is burning in nicely. The bass bloat is gone, the dynamics remain and it is breaking nicely. Carry on..... | |
| Power cable break in? Here they come!😂 |
