| Kharma equisite series (any experiences?) @smodtactical In a (very subjective😉) nutshell, I find the Classique a notch above the KEF, Bowers & Wilkins, etc. of this world, more on th elevel of the Focal Utopias, top W-Benesch, FinkTeam, Wilson, etc. The classique are capable of ren... | |
| Power cords or power conditioner @wheelndeal1099 "I have an 80" TV in the middle of my sound stage so I tossed a thick blanket over it and it helped. " - I suggest you try diffusion instead (you could try any similarly sized uneven surface) - Absorb first reflections on the si... | |
| Parity That sounds good 😉, enjoy! | |
| Kharma equisite series (any experiences?) Hi - I listened to the Midi recently & the Classic in the past. They are beautifully made and sound good. What do you want to know? | |
| What is the added value of a streamer over a networked dedicated Computer What @ghdprentice said above. Also had a mac running audirvana, etc, etc. Identical results. Good luck! | |
| Questionable Tweak D-K 😁 Whatever the auditory case may be, it doesn't hurt to clean the air every now & then! | |
| Help in deciding which tube preamp to replace my old SFL-2 I second the EAR recommendation and will also recommend the CAT Ultimate or whatever it’s called nowadays. Both have exceptionally good line AND phono stages -- both. FWIW, I have compared the 912 with AR ref 6 and, excellent though the AR may b... | |
| Vintage Stanton cartridge — extreme lean to one side normal? To me this does not look normal at all! And the cantilever is bent, probably to compensate, as you suggested. | |
| Hyperacusis. Looking for recommendations Dynamics are a salient characteristic of horn-loaded speakers. Accordingly, electrostats are probably your best bet - as aptly mentioned above. More importantly, I hope your condition improves and that meanwhile, you enjoy a few happy tunes! | |
| Audio Exotics high end show live from Hong kong @himiguel Thank you for posting this | |
| looking for a more efficient speaker..... Ok, let me second (third?) the advice above: please give more info, as above. The Alon 4 are very good speakers and, arguably, hold their own today. | |
| What's better, one conductor or two conductors for an RCA interconnect? @jumia Is it better to connect the ground to each side of the RCA cable? I think you mean the SHIELD, i.e. if there is one, is it better to connect it on both sides. No, it's best connected (to ground) on one side only. | |
| For those that have separate Streamers & DACS The best I have auditioned are the following two: *Ideon Audio Absolute Streamer (using its own player, preferred over Roon) *Taiko Extreme To be clear I am not bashing the Innous, and others mentioned above, just my subjective top two. And no,... | |
| Levinson 380S vs Boulder 810 Here's a slightly different take (than above). Whiel I like ARC gar, especially their latest big monos, and their ref pre (whatever the number), I cannot -empirically - place them at the same resolution level as the big Boulder pre (2110). That s... | |
| cheapest cable upgrade ever Just so I understand this correctly: you are attaching a 1.5V battery (or more) across the speakers' connectors -- is that correct? You are effectively sending a DC signal to the speakers? |
