| "World's Best Cables" vs Audioquest interconnects I use World's Best Cables (WBC) for most things. You never specified what cable was purchased? They use several different pro audio brands for the cable and different brands for connectors. Anyway, all cables don't sound the same and WBC has man... | |
| The Music at AXPONA 2022 Those tracks are picked to wow you and show how much detail their equipment can reveal. Drums will test speed of the speakers. And perhaps some people actually like to listen to water falls, wind chimes, or real drums. But I do think it can also ... | |
| Bluesound Node as streamer vs Audirvana - My experience I used a Windows PC with Fidelizer for a Roon endpoint and it sounded good enough. I stopped using Roon and then tried Amazon HD on the same PC. Not bad, no complaints. Then I bought a Bluesound Node (2021) and used the coax out to my DAC (Schiit ... | |

| Maggie 1.7i's lack detail. Ideas? To the OP, I know what you seek. I seek the same. Details and wow factor are missing. When I purchased my 1.7i the dealer ran them on a McIntosh stack that probably cost $15K (USD) or more. Budget stuff for that brand but boy did these speakers si... | |
| Thinking of taking the plunge. If you use Amazon HD for music Bluesound seems to be the only one featuring that service. That's why I purchased the Node 2021 model and currently using the coax output only. | |
| Passive Bookshelf Speaker Selection I own these and can recommend them for neutral sound - NHT SuperOne 2.1, NHT C3, Elac UB5. Just remember one person's neutral is another's dark or forward. I recently heard the Focal Chora 826 and did not think it was bright or overly detailed, so... |
