| Maggies and subwoofer integration @erik_squires +1 I completely agree that careful integration seems to be the exception. Also, I am always skeptical about integrating subwoofers with planar speakers. The planar speakers are so fast and most subwoofers are so slow. It would... | |
| Anyone heard the new ARC LS28 SE? 100 hours into breakin of Audio Research gear is not a good time to make appraisals of sound quality. It tends to get better (still not great) through 120 hours… then flip flops from good to bad for at least twenty to thirty hours. One definitely ... | |
| Anyone heard the new ARC LS28 SE? I own a Reference 6SE and have listened to the LS28SE. A friend of mine bought one as well, so I have listened to them in more than one setting. It is an outstanding preamp and very similar to the Reference 6SE. Same sound qualities, detailed,... | |
| I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming @mitch2 Glad to hear it. See how long you have that speed. Xfinity would not touch my Modem / Router. Also check your billing for extra charges. They charged me $100 to put in their router and a couple mystery charges. No cost other than... | |
| Cable Break In for the Naysayers Science begins with observation, then measurements, theory, predictions, tests to prove the theory is right and wrong… etc. But it starts with observations in the real world. I am sure there are many cable companies that can nearly completely pred... | |
| DAC/Streamer/PreAmp Definitely separates. If I was doing it. Aurrender Streamer N200. I definitely recommend Aurrender streamers, the more I listen to different models vs the competition the more impressed I am. This is a key component. This is a really important c... | |
| I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming @mitch2 “…that will hopefully provide the speed I am paying for. ” Good luck with that. Bird dogging Verizon to get what you pay for is a full time job. When you don’t get it with a third party modem / router they will claim it is your router.... | |
| Starting a Classical Vinyl Music Collection Static can be a problem. Static can cause clicks and pops. I have found static guns completely useless. I preclean album on the turntable with Last General cleaner with their brush. Then use a dust / static arm (looks like a tonearn: Antistati... | |
| Aurender Conductor App When I got my Aurrender… they found the music files on my network and asked if I would like to download them… I said yes. I came back later, it was done. | |
| Power cords different lengths. 😊 | |
| Streaming upgrade from Cambridge Audio cxn v2 Additional info about your current system beyond what you have posted in your virtual systems would be helpful. You can see my systems under my ID. In general, you have great opportunity for a step up with both the DAC function and the streame... | |
| Placing your record on a spinning turntable. While it is not the norm. I have certainly done it in the past. Typically with the VPI turntable I had for twenty years. Since the platter / motor has so much momentum it is a pain to wait to stop it. I also have 2,000 albums, most in pristine con... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? @tonywinga …”Leave it to brothers to smack us back into reality. :)”. Not sure that is reality he is smacking you back to. You have a really carefully chosen high end system of a very distinct flavor. Your combining Audio Research, Pass and W... | |
| Old phones as streaming sources Yes, you can do it. I have streamed from about every device you can think of. Honestly, in general, they sound pretty good… especially with a good DAC, until you start comparing with purpose built streamers. | |
| Accuphase E-5000 factory power cord good enough? @tattooedtrackman 👍👍 |
