| Seeking recommendations for DAC to amplifier balanced XLR cable @stringreen ,+1,I listened to Ralph Karsten when buying balanced equipment. If the equipment supports the AES 47 standard, then any XLR cable should perform as well as another.Bob | |
| new preamp Like I said, Atmasphere- Ralph Karsten is my favorite. That being due to not only producing a first class preamp, but also having a great designer who can tell you why his products do what they do.I didn't know Atmasphere before Audiogon, but his ... | |
| Squashed(?) LRS Glad to hear the speakers are working well.Though I have Vandersteen, I would have opted for Maggies if I had the room. I can still remember being mesmerized by the sound they put out. And, that was 30 years ago. I am not trying to offer any kind... | |
| Squashed(?) LRS @OP,Both audioconnection (John Rutan) and mofimadness have given you great information. Trust it implicitly, and congrats on the new speakers.Bob | |
| How do I get the "most" out of a speakers that are rated for 12 ohms? To be honest, I doubt you are delivering any more than one or two watts of power to those speakers-if you are listening at 'normal' levels.Any excess power is/should be available to handle transient power demands.Snubbers- I think you are referrin... | |
| Audioquest Firebird Zero @musicguy85,Interesting post, and nice to hear from German Audiophiles( I have a secret obsession with MBL's).You make an interesting observation. I just purchased a set of AQ cables and was surprised that they were only offered in 1 meter or more... | |

| Streaming Qubuz - take it to the next level. Either move to an Aurender N100 or upgrade your DAC to something like an Ayre Codex or Schiit Yggy, though I think the DAC upgrade will be the most significant change.Bob | |
| Audioquest thunder vs tornado HC powercords PM John Rutan (audioconnection).He can clue you in.Bob | |
| Who Offers a Highly Musical Preamp using a 6SN7 tube and a remote? An Atmasphere UV-1.B | |
| Cable retermination, XLR Unless you live near a good brick and mortar dealer, I would just send the cables back to Straightwire. Either way, you will have to pay, so why quibble?As far as upgrading XLR's, if your equipment supports AES 48, then it should make little diffe... | |
| amp for vandersteens A Belles Aria integrated should be a contender, especially if on a budget.Otherwise, an Ayre AX-7. Actually, both are great integrated amps that will complement Vandersteen speakers.Though you didn't ask, I would pair the above with AQ speaker cab... | |
| Rossini's Bianca e Falliero is the best classical piece ever written Hmm, now you've got me curious.Which recording? Available on Qobuz?BPS-You have a wide range in music. First Coltrane, now Rossini.I'm impressed. |
