| Thoughts on DAC option Even though Auralic recommends WiFi over Ethernet, swapping to an Ethernet cable for my Auralic Aries g2.1 improved clarity and cleaned up tie end a bit. however I would not expect this to solve your problem. I don’t have better suggestions tha... | |
| Last Critical Tweak… how to quell occasional high harshness…? I recently switched out my duelund 16ga interconnects exact because they seemed to be exaggerating the upper end. I switched them out to cables that I already had from a prior system (anticables “level5) and it was immediately noticeable. Not sure... | |
| Top DYI Speaker Options If you have any interest in horns, you should look at Joseph Crowe Audio. they have been supported DIY audio community for a really long time and Troy is absolutely fantastic with his designs and objective testing. Build plans are incredibly rea... | |
| Can single ended 211 or 212 amplifiers drive magnepan 20.7? @thegreenman i use Triode Lab 45 ffx parallel monoblocks with EML tubes rectified by either Sophia Electric 274b aqua or GZ32 mullard tubes. Love the sound with my horns. I think you can see the setup in my profile. i will take a look at the Otto... | |
| Can single ended 211 or 212 amplifiers drive magnepan 20.7? Probably not saying anything new here but I’ve got parallel Set 45 monoblocks 4.5 wpc that are paired with large efficient horns that sound fantastic. I also have LRS+ that I bought as a holdover while the horns were being built. I would have to a... | |
| Low powered integrated recommendation Triode Lab 45 Evo Highly recommended. Take a look. | |
| Do some DACs "handle" sibilance better than others? A couple of months ago I bought and subsequently sold a well reviewed preamp that I could not listen to because of the additional silence that I heard that was not there with any of three other preamps or bypassing the preamp. Sting, Paul Simon, ... | |
| Old SS amps Still using my sunfire amp from late 90s in my second system. Sounds pretty darn good but not quite up to my Triode Lab PSet 45 monoblocks in my primary system. I’ve swapped them several times not and keep going back to the TL. There’s also a 10x ... | |

| What's ideal size for a listening room? Curious as to what equipment will be used? | |
| Need Ideas on speaker cables Would highly recommend duelund cables; very comparable to my Cardas reflections when comparing interconnects; duelund were a tad bit more vibrant and a lot lower cost. Cardas were warmer. much prefer the duelunds to my anticable level 4.1 s... | |
| Help please! Something amiss with my digital chain Help me understand how/why you don’t have a preamp on the analog side after the phono pre? | |
| Help please! Something amiss with my digital chain Based on my prior experience with the auralic G2.2, I would agree with an above post that WiFi is not your issue. Moving to a Ethernet connection marginally cleaned up sound and marginally expanded bass output, but marginally is the key here. I ... | |
| Denafrips Pontus 15th, Pass Labs INT-60, and Wilson Sabrinas Duelund makes some great cables at $16/ meter from parts connection. I replaced my Cardas with them |
