| Higher Efficiency Speakers I have my Vandy Treo's at near mid-room (between LR and DR 12x24x8).I have excellent soundstage and reproduction with a pair of 2wq subs.I owned the 3a sigs and went up to the Treo's. No comparison, everything is much more coherent/ seamless.I als... | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? @rvpiano .Thanks for reminding me about Clifford Brown. I got him playing right now...B | |
| beginner seperate system If I were you, I would either PM or call Johnny Rutan (Audioconnection). He will set you up with the best you can get for the money- with no pressure or sales pitch.He knows home stereo like the back of his hand.I only post this because you are go... | |
| So you want to build a good sounding audio system hu? @elizabeth ,If you bought a stereo in 1965, you’d have been a wee child...B | |
| Improving streaming SQ @uberwaltz,I don't think there is a 'Masters' streaming option from the list.If I do play a Masters album, my DAC shows that the file is in high resolution.Bob | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? @georgehifi , To say Ralph, ' he buys the modules does a small mod so it can be said to be better, throws in in a box, and there’s his beer money', is a bit harsh and uncalled for.To the contrary, his amps are quite stable for a wide range o... | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels Ooohh, I hate it when my post gets lost after all my typing...B | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? I am waiting for Ralph Karsten to finish his Class D amp. If anyone can build a great amp, it's him.B | |
| A Better Bluesound AC Cable? I put an AQ power cable (forgot which model) in the Node. Heard absolutely nothing different.B | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) @bigkidz . Say it isn't so.(If only I had the room...)Bob | |
| Computer power cord upgrade, is it worth it? Are you doing this for computer audio? If so, then I think you should put a better cable in the DAC. That is the component doing the dirty work.And, getting a better signal to the DAC, either USB or Optical will help. There are some software add o... | |
| My initial impressions of ZU Mission (MK1) speaker cables. I have to say, for the money, Zu seems to offer great products. Be it speakers or wires.Bob | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels I will still stand by my recommendation of the Vandy VLR. Of course, it isn't up to the Treo's, but I have to say it really makes my office alive.I didn't think they were up to the task, and I tried a pair of Zu Omen Bookshelves, but the Vandy VLR... | |
| Thinking about upgrading, but wondering about diminishing returns Yes, Mr_M, two pairs.To be honest, I thought the Rocket 88's were the cat's meow, but Johnny said try this, and I did. He also recommended the AQ Thunder power cord for my DAC (Ayre Codex). I ended up putting them on my amps, and I can honestly sa... | |
| Thinking about upgrading, but wondering about diminishing returns @tomic601 , +1 as usual.As an AQ user, I have great respect to their products.Johnny Rutan suggested that I upgrade my Rockefeller speaker cables to GO-4 last year. I bought them, but never installed them, as things sounded really great and instal... |
