| changing dedicated line feeding 1 outlet 2 sockets to 4? This shouldn't be a problem for any electrician to perform.I say just have him/her either add a 4 outlet box or add another 2 outlet box running parallel to the existing box.B | |
| Streamer options Bluesound Node should fit the bill.Inexpensive and carries lots of streaming services.Aurender if you only need Tidal or Qobuz.Though, no SPDIF. USB and Optical seem to be the most used formats.Bob | |
| ~$15K floorstanders: opinions sought Vandersteen Quatro's should fit your requirements.B | |
| Ok now I am frustrated with streaming Though I understand the point of having either discs or LP's, streaming music is so much more convenient, and the library nearly unlimited.@hgeifman makes great points. My Verizon Fios service had issues for more than a year. Luckily, a good tech... | |
| Ayre KX-5/20 & VX-5/20 v AX-5 Twenty Another person you should contact is John Rutan (Audioconnection).PM him.He sells Ayre, and probably knows KEF.He can provide free, accurate advice, and do it without trying to sell you something.I normally hesitate referring someone to a dealer, ... | |
| Ayre KX-5/20 & VX-5/20 v AX-5 Twenty @OP,I would still think separates would be a better choice. When you think about cramming all that equipment into one case, there are bound to be trade-offs otherwise, why would they exist?As for interconnects, I would get some Audioquest cables. ... | |
| Audioquest AC cables @roberjerman,Perhaps you should try listening before passing judgement.And, comparing a Pangea cord to a Home Depot cord would probably result in similar results.BTW, I bought my Thunder cables from Audioconnection. John Rutan offered to buy back/... | |
| Another shout out for great service Haha!Even at 3 weeks+, that is pretty good service, considering all the vagaries of shipping, and the intricacies of repair.Kudos to PS Audio.B | |
| Audioques Power cable Dragon vs Hurricane what difference in low frequencies +1 for Tomic.Mr. Rutan is a font of great, and trustworthy information.PM him (audioconnection). Yes, he is an AQ dealer, but he is honest, and knows his stuff, AND, will never try to sell/steer you to something you don't want.Bob | |
| First time biasing an amp. Help. I would trust Georgehifi's assessment before others.If you aren't sure, find a capable tech. I would bet ARC would be able to point you to one.Bob | |
| Audioquest AC cables I would look into the newer Storm series cables.Though they are more money, they represent the best AQ offers-Garth Powell's expertise.Even a Thunder power cable will out perform the Wind series, and you should be able to find them used on Hifi Sh... | |
| Another shout out for great service 2 weeks?Wow, that was a fast repair.😲PS Audio must have a great service/repair operation.Bob | |
| Ayre KX-5/20 & VX-5/20 v AX-5 Twenty You've got some nice equipment.Do you really have to move to integrated? I can't see how that much space will be saved by such a move.Though I would consider some isolation bases for the subs (Like Townshend), so you don't p*ss off the neighbors.Bob | |
| Need preamp recommendation @OP,Wait!What is the rest of your system?It's hard to make a recommendation without knowledge of the other components.Bob | |
| Ayre QB9 Dac . Upgrade to the new QB20. Vs competition In the $4-5k range or less @audioman58 ,I think you are referring to the QB9 with Twenty upgrade.And, I think you meant Windows 10?Correct?Thanks for the review of the shootout.I have deep respect for Schiit and their products, and am a bit surprised the upgraded QB-9 is st... |
