| Reminder: how to tell current from an amp's specs? @soix , Ditto. Bob | |
| Install A Dedicated AC Line at home See, I told you @jea48, knew his stuff. Bob | |
| AudioQuest Diamond Hyperlitz RCA Value? Either pay for Audiogon Insider Blue Book, or go to HifiShark and apply the necessary filters to get an idea of what your equipment goes for. B | |
| Bookshelf speakers that renders 3D soundstage Vandersteen VLR's are one of the sleepers out there. They might look small and simple, but they can really rock with the right equipment. Add a Sub 3 and you are competing with floorstanders, and at a lower cost. Put them near corners, and you pr... | |
| Install A Dedicated AC Line at home This is a @jea48 , question. Bob | |
| To ROON or not to ROON ? Roon and Qobuz is the nicest pairings I have had in streaming. The new Roon 2.0 is pretty nice, and easy to figure out.- Mind you, I hate paying for another bit of software- But, Roon, IMHO, is one of the best streaming managers out there. I ha... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 Not mentioned yet is the Ayre QB-9 Twenty. I think Ayre has some other models under the $7K range. But, if you are willing to wait for a used unit, the Meitner MA 3 should be in your range. As far as the Daedalus speakers go, one of Audiogon's b... | |
| Innuos Statement vs Zenith Mk3 + PhoenixUSB I own both the Zen Mini with Power supply and Phoenix USB, and the Zenith MK 3 (without the Phoenix USB). As they are 2 different systems, I didn't bother to make the comparisons, as I get tired of moving equipment and cables around. What I can s... | |
| Acoustic Curtain for listening area The best room treatment, in my opinion, is to treat a room as a room that you live in.-Bookshelves, Art on the walls, Window treatments, etc.. In other words, lots of stuff. That creates multiple/random points for sound waves to disperse/absorb w... | |
| Belles Amp - REL Stereo Subs Or, PM Johnny Rutan (Audioconnection), He sells Belles and knows just about everything there is to know stereo-wise. Bob | |
| Martha Argerich - Best of The Box Sets Considering you can stream most of her work, why not get a Qobuz membership and listen to the recordings yourself? Then you can buy the ones you like. Bob | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @mglik , I, too, own Atma gear (MP-1, MA-1-stock). We both know Ralph is a consummate stereo equipment designer. So, for me, I have put my deposit on his new Class D amps. The big question, as a Vandersteen owner, is the fact that it uses Feed... | |
| Acoustic Curtain for listening area @tommypenngotti, Before you spend a lot of money, why don't you try hanging some differing materials. Say, start with a large bed sheet, move on to a blanket/duvet. Then an area rug. Each one will display differing reflective/absorptive characte... | |
| Innuos Phoenix USB cabling In my opinion, using an ethernet cable with a separate ground (Cat 6a and above, if I recall), would be the way to go. I was lucky enough to score a half roll of Audioquest Carbon ethernet cable (CAT 7)and proceeded to wire from my Verizon Fios ... | |
| Disservice: XLR interconnects @navyachts , The reason I, and Ralph specify the AES standard is that there are many manufacturers who add XLR input/outputs on their equipment without adhering to those standards. The result might be cables that 'sound so much better.' When us... |
