| Cable length question It depends. What kind of system do you have? Speakers, components, venue? There is a place under your userID to put photos and ID your components. This would help us help you. If you are working to achieve the absolute best sound… a strategy over... | |
| Speaker and amp advice needed I own Sonus Faber Amati and previously Olympica. I can highly recommend the Amati. There is nothing too big about them, they are only 46” high. You can see them in my audio room in my virtual system. Focal are a very different sounding speaker and... | |
| What to ask when buying used speakers? You are familiar with the house sound of the speakers you want and speaker you don’t want? So, you have a short list of speakers that you know you will like if received in good working order? | |
| Recommendation for speaker cable to use with Magico speakers Congrats on your speaker purchase. I am a big Transparent fan. They come at all levels of investment. I use Ultra on my system. They are absolutely transparent. But, I would not even start thinking about cables and interconnects until you ... | |
| High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ? OP, I completely agree with your opening statement. I fortunately accidentally bought a house with an exceptionally great audio space. I carefully populated it with the highest quality synergistic components with transparent (Transparent) wir... | |
| Aurender or Lumin streamer only? I am an Aurrender fan and have two and auditioned others. Based on reviews and comments here the N200 outperforms the Lumin in sound quality and the N20 significantly outperforms the N200. Given your DAC you want the N20 it is much quieter and mor... | |
| Best Options For A Tubed Preamp - $2500 Or Less, Preferably Used To Maximize Value 😊🥵 Thank you for your kind words. Happy New Year. | |
| Aurender N150 vs N200 Given your system N20… but if you can only afford the N200 now… definitely the N200. | |
| Fleetwood Deville vs Wilson Sound I have been really impressed with Wilson speakers… often blown away (like well set up $500K ones), but I have never been inclined to want them for myself. But have recommended them for folks that value that kind sound. Same with. Magico. | |
| Tidal or Qobuz @audphile1 Congradulations! Once fully broken in, it would be interesting to hear a comparison between this and your former streamer. | |
| Does the streamer effect sound quality @lalitk +1 | |
| Does the streamer effect sound quality @audphile1 A slight hardness and very slight fatigue when the notes are sparse. The noise floor was higher, it must be in the higher registers or it would not be fatiguing. I am very sensitive to this and it is very small… but I listen to music ... | |
| Weakest link in my system @audphile1”…B&Ws are old but they kick butt…” Yes, I agree. If all you listen to is rock definitely. | |
| Tube Phonostage Causing Rumble and Noises Ok, I apologize for this. How loud is your subwoofer set? Typically the correct settings to have them correctly integrated is the crossover very low, speaker dependent, but 40hz and volume 10 - 20%… I mean basically turned way down to correctl... | |
| Speakers - Your "Safest" Choice Assuming no road trip. Sonus Faber —- musical / natural. B&W - slam with bright details. If you like Rock only, this is your speakers. Best paired with McIntosh electronics. Wilson - Holographic sound stagers great detail Magico - reall... |
