| Audioquest Blizzard vs Audioquest Hurricane Source @blueskywalker ,Ignore the snarky response above.If I were you, I would PM John Rutan (audioconnection). He sells AQ and knows his stuff- and he won't try to sell you something. Tell him what your situation is and I bet he'll be able to guide you.... | |
| Second sub connection @Celtic66,+1That is how I run my 2 Hsu Subs.B | |
| Whatta Ya Think About Hsu Research Subwoofers? For the money,Hsu subs are very good. I own a pair of VTF mk2 subs for my office.I only add the caveat that due to owning a pair Vandy subs, as well.The integration and bass provided by a Vandy subs (coupled with the high pass filter) offers a muc... | |
| Streamer recommendation under $3000 The Memory Player Mini uses JRiver.Aurender uses its' own software.B | |
| Expert Advise Needed on Streamer - DAC combos. I would get an Ayre Codex. I own two for my systems.It makes an incredible difference when using the Bluesound Node.The only other way to go is an Aurender N100 with the Codex, but it only lets you use Tidal or Qobuz to stream.If you were to go to... | |
| Speaker cable recommendations in my budget @OP, How would I make my own? I see all these descriptors like “cryo treated” & all kinds of other “balanced” & treatments. Seems way above my head. Here is a link to a cable making thread. https://www.whatsbestforum.com/threads/how-t... | |
| Buddy can you spare a dime for a $12,000 Ethernet cable? I was a doubting Thomas, until I listened to a set of AQ William Tell speaker cables.The difference was quite clear to my ears. The only problem was whether it was worth the cost.Luckily, I only needed 1 meter non-biwired cables, so, I bit the bul... | |
| Streamer recommendation under $3000 Either an Aurender or The Memory Player Mini.B | |
| Calling Vandersteen Treo owners anybody want the t-shirt if I have them made ? Meetoo!M and L, it depends if I am working out.Bob | |

| Speaker sensitivity, impedance, and calculating amp power @tomic601 ,+1Bob | |
| A philosophical question. I found the best recommendations on Spotify. Unfortunately, the sound quality is below par compared to Quobuz, Idagio and Tidal.I never heard of Louise Farrenc, until Spotify.B | |
| Any difference in SQ from USB drive storage to NAS playback? Interesting question.Though I am no expert, I think there might be a difference.If I recall correctly, Sam Laufer's The Memory Player outputs files to memory before they are played. The result being higher sound quality.So, it would seem using eit... | |
| Audioquest Firebird Zero @ozzy ,I was with ctsooner at Audioconnection when Johnny demoed the CAD unit. Subtle, but noticable change- blacker background, more detail coming through. I should get one, too.In any case, just call Johnny directly. He will set you up.Here is t... | |
| Review: Townshend Audio Speaker Podiums I bought a set of platforms for my speakers, but forgot to consider the outrigger feet, so I couldn't use them.Thankfully, Townshend said they will work under my other equipment-providing they were in the proper weight range.So, I put one under my... |
