| Transparent Musicwave Super speaker cables, 12 ft length Oldschool, If I were you, I would put on a set of AQ cables.I tried the Transparent, and spent way too much on having them upgraded to the latest iteration. They were good, but the AQ really seem more alive, and these are a pair of old Rockefeller... | |
| Adona Isolation Platforms @luvrockin ,That sounds very strange, indeed. If a manufacturer behaves that way, I'd stay clear.And, yes, I can understand your skepticism. But, when you think about the physics of motion/vibration, then it sort of makes sense.You can add things,... | |
| Adona Isolation Platforms Well, as you go up the Hifi chain, the more you see the benefits of isolation or equipment.Though I try not to get too anal about these things, I do try to make sure I get things as isolated as I can.Ayre has little myrtle blocks that I use. I als... | |
| Audio Repair in NJ??? Call John Rutan at Audioconnection in Verona. He knows just about every manufacturer and if he can't repair it, he'll know someone who can.B | |
| Do i belong here I think the OP has a Logitech Squeezbox. It's a few year since they made them.If you want an inexpensive DAC, you should look at the Schiit Bifrost Multibit. Though they are made in the US, they are shipping wordwide.Maybe look on Hifi Shark to se... | |
| Bi Wiring for speakers question @will62 ,You do know you can get some Banana to spade convertors?I use these when I have to. https://www.amazon.com/CARDAS-Premium-Speaker-Adapter-Connectors/dp/B00SG3Z922Reading you post, I think this is what you are looking for:https://www.amazo... | |
| Would I be crazy to swap B&W 800 series for Klipsch RP series? (804S VS RP-260F) @tomic601 ,The OP will probably get a better price by selling here or US Audio, in my opinion.B | |
| Transparent Musicwave Super speaker cables, 12 ft length @oldschool,Everything you change will make a difference. Whether it is positive change, or worth it monetarily, is the rub.I notice you have a lot of AQ cables. Is there any reason why you are using the Transparent?Bob | |
| Stereo Subwoofer Pairing I hate to hijack the tread, but noble's post has me scratching my head.How do you hook up 3 or more subs to a stereo amp?I have 2 2wq's and stack spades on the amp, but when you go to 3 subs, how do you connect them? Or, are you using a HT amp?Bob | |
| Would I be crazy to swap B&W 800 series for Klipsch RP series? (804S VS RP-260F) Emig, you can get an idea of prices by looking at Hifi Shark's sold listings.As far as speakers, I have heard B&W's and like their sound. The Klipsh are loved by many, though I haven't listened to them since the 70's and they were the huge Cor... | |
| Bi Wiring for speakers question +1 Hifiman. Keep it simple Will. The AQ GO 4 is a reasonably priced cable and should not cost a fortune to do a true biwire. Just try to keep the lengths equal and as short as practically possible. And, add a little wiggle room for minor adjustmen... | |
| Vandersteen 2Wq subwoofers with M5-HP crossovers - help needed @bondmanp That's good to hear. Was the packaging damaged on the amps when you received them?-Like somebody dropped it?If you don't go the double box route, at least have him get some triple wall cardboard boxes. Those Home Depot double wall boxes ... | |
| Best Speakers with a DNA-1? @ctsooner ,I think I will consider something like what you described. Now that I am basically using streaming to listen to music, I really don't need a full preamp.Does this Memory Player allow you to use it a DAC, in addition to CD player?B | |
| Best Speakers with a DNA-1? @ctsooner ,Why do you need/want the LSA? I haven't heard about these before.And, I think 'McCormicks' might be an ethnic slur. ;) B | |
| What other streaming services do you recommend besides Tidal? I use Tidal and Spotify. I really don't notice a significant difference, but Tidal is a bit cleaner sounding. I like Spotify because it has a super inclusive catalog (Tidal is more for contemporary music), and it has an easier interface for findin... |
