| Ideal power cord lengths? I have not done the study. But recently, when I asked my dealer (when he was at my house) to order me a one meter Audio Quest Hurricane power cord… he responded with, “two meters will give you more conditioning”. I was shocked… I never thought of ... | |
| Speaker comparison It would be really helpful to see your system and venue. There is a place to create “your virtual system” under your user ID. Speaker manufacturers tend to work really hard to make sure their sound measures up to their price. After fifty years of... | |
| Need cable advice tome reduces mids Yes, what is your system and venue. There is a place to put photos and your components under your UserID. This would be helpful as there are lots of variables that could cause your problem. | |
| Recommendation for low to normal level listening a 13.5' x 21' x 8' room @mazian +1 used Olympica 3 perhaps. After pursuing ethereal sound with exotic and expensive amps I concluded that the reason so many dynamic speaker systems are on the market was because the technology lends itself to realistic and cohere... | |
| Does anyone on this Forum have any experience with Audio research ref 610t monoblocks I believe the REF 610T was released in 2005. personally I would buy without any hesitation… but if you look at my system, I’m a big Audio Research fan. Audio Research has tried to stay true to a very detailed and musical sound since their origin.... | |
| Buying New TV Need A Soundbar Recommendation @dawgbyte Cool… sounds like a great combo. I am wondering how long I can hold out with out Sony 77” OLED before caving and getting the 85”. It always seems like just a few more inches and it would be perfect. | |
| Recommendation for Headphones I would recommend Focal… maybe Clear. I own Utopias. They are exceptionally easy to drive and have excellent sound quality. One reason I wouldn’t get carried away buying super expensive headphones is using the output from the Rogue might be an in... | |
| Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West? @ronboco You bring up a good point. A high end integrated can surpass mid-range separates, very true. Each companies product lines are: Flagship = two box single function (like DAC, amp, or preamp), first level down… single box function, nex... | |
| Tube PHONO preamp interference - RFI, EMI, bad grounding? OP, My condolences on your plight. In hearing your first recording, my reaction is that is digital… digital signals sound like that. As for the ARC amp… I assume you tried plugging into the power conditioner. It doesn’t sound like a ground... | |
| tube pre & ss amp integrated @seekerbob There are many ways to dissect the audio component combinations.. There are big sonic advantages to really stiff, hard to move cones…. They snap back quick, being very accurate… these cones can be very well controlled. But, to move t... | |
| Schit Audio Marketing Department: Can We Give them a Hand? OP, I don’t think anything unpopular or bad about this post. Raising awareness of a good sounding Made in America brand is not a bad thing. If I was just starting out it is a great brand for the money… as little as I like the name. Glad to talk ... | |
| SQ difference XLR vs RCA ? @gillsysb Thank you for your comments. Let me respectfully ask one question… is there a chance that you were reacting to the increase in volume and not the quality of the sound? It is really easy to react to the increase in volume… which does no... | |
| Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West? @attila7 Streaming not need to be difficult. Think of it this way: Turntable —> Phonostage —> Preamp Streamer —> DAC —> Preamp The two analogous. No management software is required. Buy a Aurrender, Aurlic, Lumin, or budget... | |
| New amp listening fatigue: Distortion or ?????? @yogiboy They are great, thank you. 😊 | |
| What is the best Headphone rid upgrade OP, Very good move. I moved my system along in similar fashion. You want a great streamer. I recommend a Aurender N100. It is what I use to drive my headphone system (see my UserID). You are in for a treat. I also have Sennheiser HD800… and some ... |
