| power conditioners in $3000 to $5000 range Audioquest would be my pick.There was a review comparing the Niagra to a PS Audio unit, but I seemed to have deleted the bookmark.Bob | |
| To Roon or not to Roon? Another +1 for Roon.I don't own Aurilac, but Innuos, and the Roon app works great for me( albeit, I am not using wifi).I didn't want to want to pay for another subscription, but the Roon app is very well polished. I could have kept using the $4 Sq... | |
| Anyone running a tube preamp with a Pass XA25? If you require a tube preamp, I recommend an Atmasphere MP-1 or MP-3, depending upon your budget.The former gives my Ayre KX-R a run for the money.@OP, If you could accept a SS preamp, then the Ayre KX-R would be my choice.Bob | |
| Anybody have both Herbie's Cone/Spike Pucks and isoacoustics gaia's @sjsfiveo ,I concur with the previous post.The new Townshend platforms have 'outrigger' feet, so they should support top heavy speakers without issue.I suspect using other Townshend products will yield similar results, but unless you are sure your... | |
| Band of an instrumental piece played in march 1971 on a FM station from Muncie, IN? Why not contact the radio station and see if they have either the information or an archive?B | |
| Anybody have both Herbie's Cone/Spike Pucks and isoacoustics gaia's @ozzy ,Let us know your impressions. I would like to know if there are differences between Townshend and other manufacturers.Bob | |

| ARE WILSON AUDIO WATT PUPPY 8 FOR 6 GRAND A GOOD DEAL? The newer model are much better than the old.IMHO,But, a Vandersteen always seems to come out ahead, and at a more reasonable price.bob | |
| Streaming vs ripped music @mofojo ,If you can run direct ethernet, all the better.There is another thread here on Agon regarding the insertion of optical between ethernet. The benefit being that it isolates/removes noise.Bob | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina X vs Revel Ultima Salon 2 I think you made great observations.Considering that the Wilson's were given the prime spot, and couldn't be moved would make me worried. IMHO, There is nothing worse than a speaker that has to be set in a 'perfect' position. And, the fact that th... | |
| Ethernet 7 I just thought of a more direct way.Why not splice them together?https://www.bestethernetcables.com/how-to-splice-ethernet-cable/The wires are color coded so it wouldn't be rocket science to perform.You'd need the proper tools, though.Though I wou... | |
| Ethernet 7 If it is a true CAT 7 cable then it will have isolation/grounding between the pairs of wires.You are going to need a female to female coupler that has a grounding feature.This should be a good coupler:https://www.amazon.com/AMPCOM-Coupler-Keystone... | |
| Why does MQA not sound good in my system? Confused I'll say it again,MQA is just the Dolby of the 21st century. The latter made a ton of money getting people/studios to believe they're technology made a difference.MQA wants to do the same.B | |
| Streaming vs ripped music @mofojo ,I think your experience mimics the same rationale behind Sam Laufer's The Memory Player.Bob | |
| The Belles Aria Signature Integrated Amplifier @ianrmack ,Oohh, that sounds like a great pairing.B |
