| What are the top 3 USB cables being used today in reference systems? I've been using a Platinum Wireworld with ISO Regen and LPS 1. The Regen offers Galvanic Isolation. Planning to combine a Sotm TX USBultra with the ISO Regen. | |
| Classical music, symphony AND planar speakers frogman, there were some other’s who did modifications with the 57’s, can’t remember who they were but yes, seems like many wanted to achieve that bliss. I turn 58 on the 29th, 1978 seems like yesterday.I like my Quad 2905’s because of the bass pa... | |
| Classical music, symphony AND planar speakers Mark Levinson built stacked Quad 57’s with lower frequency panels. This would be worth looking for but still costly by today’s standards. | |
| Classical music, symphony AND planar speakers I have a pair of Quad 2905’s and an ASR Emitter II Exclusive amplifier. This combination has worked well for me. The lower frequency range on the Quads 2905’s makes them worth considering, though the 57’s are legendary for there tone. I like chamb... | |
| Equalizer cleeds, don't take me too literally, I don't know the exact cause or the terminology for what I'm hearing if it's not musically related. | |
| Equalizer Erik, no I am hard wired to the router one floor below. I assumed that I’m getting noise while data is passing through the ethernet cable. I’m currently using a cat 5e cable, maybe I should upgrade to a cat 6 instead. | |
| Equalizer Erik, I did my first streaming test, Nick Drake ‘Pink Moon’ and aside from hearing data transfer noise and a slightly unsteady stream, it sounded fine. If I have an issue at all, it’s that at times the sound lacks fullness but the tone and balance... | |
| Equalizer unsound, thanks and your right. The last thing I need to do is to arc my panels. After further listening I’m finding that my real issue is that my digital setup lacks the type of body or weight that I’m used to. Late last night I listened to DSD f... | |
| Equalizer Didn't know this, thanks! | |
| Better digital front end for my DAC I drive a Kia and a Biria. I’m considering buying the Uptone Audio Ether REGEN for the router. I currently use the ISO Regen and Ultracap LPS 1linear power supply with my Ayer DAC. The Regen and LPS 1 were a solid purchase, the improvement was con... | |
| Improving existing setup, where to start? I’m not familiar with your amplifier but one of the Rogue tube integrated amps has a built in phono stage. I’m somewhat skeptical about replacing the Marantz based on your budget. My understanding is that phono amps really begin to stand out at ar... | |
| Internet radio stations for classical music I cannot recommend based on a lack of dissonance or any compositional style but I listen to actual radio via internet streaming. My three favorites are; ‘BBC Radio 3’, which is British and of course in English. ‘WDR 3’ from Cologne, Germany which ... | |
| Potential Sound Quality From 1950’s Microgroove In my current state, most higher end options are cost prohibitive. The Sorane would be about $1,500.00. | |
| Potential Sound Quality From 1950’s Microgroove From what I hear, Jelco is no more and I can get the Sorane for what the Jelco would cost me. Jelco made Mission tonearms and Thorens owners liked them a lot. Also, SME would be a solid choice but their prices are too high. Of course, then there i... | |
| Potential Sound Quality From 1950’s Microgroove I do have to wonder though if improvements from a tonearm upgrade will be subtle or great. But you’re right to think that I will never rid myself of the ability to play vinyl. |
