| Chinese Cables that sound good I don’t buy knock off cables no matter what country they come from. Why? First high end cables performance is based on more than what is visibly obvious… for instance cloth sheath and copper colored wire… the exact composition of the conductors, t... | |
| Should I upgrade the cable of my Line Conditioner? OP, after rereading the string I remember it. I have a terrible memory for names, and none for user IDs. Congratulations on the Cary. Hope you do a great summary like you did with your cable experience. That kind of thing helps everyone. | |
| Apple iPad music streamer OP, My Aurender W20SE is $22K. I was concerned about the cost until I put it in my system…. It is a bargain. I immediately was thankful that I didn’t go for a lessor model. Your thinking is in the right place… battery is quiet. The Aurende... | |
| Perplexed In general Home theater and two channel are in two completely separate leagues. Two channel stuff is just going to blow away AVPs. Reviews are the foundation for gaining knowledge along with whatever you can observe yourself. But, the source is c... | |
| Aurender conductor: unable to delete favorites? Sorry I am on vacation so I can’t get into my config. But somewhere in the menus is a button that says something about restarting Conductor… or refresh… or maybe shut down? you click on that, then shut down the app (make it a small window with oth... | |
| Which complete set of cables to try out? Sorry missed your system… no photos. Photos are very helpful I have mine on line. Nice system. Very good description of the sound. The name that comes to mind are Transparent… because they will not tilt the balance. Cardas will… Clear Beyond not... | |
| Suggestions for a streamer only (I have a great DAC) OP, Yes, today a top notch streamer is at or above the level of a high end CD player. In fact my streamer performs at the level of my vinyl rig (also not shabby, see my UserID). We are taking about full wide and deep soundstage. Instruments su... | |
| Which complete set of cables to try out? The High level Nordost are crazy good… the low to intermediate not so much. So I agree with your dealer. I would rent some from cable library. The Cable Store. Cardas should be on your list… tends to be a touch warm which is good in most s... | |
| Aurender conductor: unable to delete favorites? Under Help… Send a Remote Service Request… or something like that? And you have a network connection? | |
| Advice needed on MC cartridges When I bought my Frog he said you could get twice the play time out of them. I know I got at least 2,000 hours without retipping… when I traded it in still sounding great. | |
| Should I upgrade the cable of my Line Conditioner? OP, what is your system? Power cords and interconnects can make a big and obvious difference.. but it is dependent on your system and your objectives. Perhaps (it sounds like this) you are largely happy with your system and just don’t want to fee... | |
| Suggestions for a streamer only (I have a great DAC) @naperaudio Just out of curiosity, why are you not going to be using a streamer all the time? You got rid of your analog rig, you are left only a CD player? Right? If so, the Aurender would bring streaming to the same level or better to your ... | |
| bookshelf speakers on the floor Typically you want the tweeter at ear level. I wouldn’t be surprised I’d very short stands might be optimal… but as said. Ultimately experimenting will tell. Toe in and tilt will influence directness of treble and soundstage. | |
| audio and speaker web sites @grislybutter Good plan. | |
| Aurender conductor: unable to delete favorites? Go to your setting. There is a place there to email Aurender with questions and problems. They are very responsive. |
