| Placement of Components Hello, Mijostyn, I agree about the bass nodes. Very good point. | |
| Placement of Components Hello, I love the idea of the tt being closer so I don’t have to go up to the front to change or flip the record. I think you are still going to get vibration on the tt either way unless you address that with a wall mount or special isolation. t... | |
| What is the best non-conditioning surge protector Hello, Shinyata Venom 8 with the 10 ga pc. | |
| What Power Cords for Rel S510 Subs? Hello, I know a lot of people do not have a brick and mortar shop that lends out cables. This is the best way to try cables and equipment out at home. Also, I will tell you it can take a few hours or even a day or two for cables including power c... | |
| Power isolator versus need for a better Power supply Out Puritan products like the PSM 156 and the GroundMaster City. It will really impress you. Really great if you are in an environment that doesn’t allow you to rewire your power. You can isolate you from all of your neighbors and even yourself li... | |
| Power isolator versus need for a better Power supply Hello, If you can get some linear power supplies for each you will be good. Besides not creating noise they have continuous clean power. An example is if you unplug your wall wart your switch or Nucleus go dead instantly. If you plug them into a... | |
| Need suggestions on efficient book shelf speakers for a Pass Labs XA3.5 Hello, With 30 watt class A you do not need sensitive speakers. That’s like 60w class A/B or 120 watts class D. | |
| What Power Cords for Rel S510 Subs? Hello, I thought the same thing about power cords on subs. I have only listened to different pc on my JL Audio F110 subs. I had nice 14 GA Puritan Classic Plus cables but on each of the two subs. It did make an improvement over stock. It could b... | |
| Recommendation on speakers for listening to live music Hello, You have some nice gear. I noticed you did not mention a budget, Bookshelf or floor standers, or even color and finish. You are addressing a group who has either owned a lot of speakers or have listened to most. I do not own them but have... | |
| New VPI purchase Hello, Great choices, Especially if it is the Fatboy and not the standard tonearm. Most important: be in a good state of mind and very comfortable. Leave the stylus guard on until you are ready to set the VTA/ VTF. I know if you balance the weigh... | |
| Need recommendations for a streamer Hello, I really love the Bluos app. I wish they would come out with a full size big brother to the NODE with LPS and balanced/ ABS/EBU outputs. Until they do that I will suggest a Lumin U1mini since they just upgraded it. If you have a few more b... | |
| Single vs Bi-wire Speaker Cable Hello, Typically you want to use the full cable going to the bottom binding posts because those are the drivers that need the most current to move them properly. If you split the cable in half you are halving that gauge. Sonically it does matter.... | |
| Why Purchase A CD Player or Transport ? Hello, I think everyone should have a nice DAC and streamer. Great way to listen to an absurd amount of great music. If you do have a nice DAC then adding a Cambridge CD transport for $600-$700 is not a big deal. I do have some titles that are no... | |
| can I connect 2 sources directly to power amp (one XLR one RCA) Hello, Buy the Lumin P1. It has analog inputs so you can plug the Node into the Lumin. The Lumin P1 also has several HDMI connections. Since the P1 is a DAC you can run the NODE into the P1 using a coax audio cable. The other way is to get a used... | |
| Would you spend you money on modest brand new car or rather buy top notch vintage one? Hello, No need to use an analogy here. Also. The variables are endless. Tell us the specifics of the gear you want to buy and typically the group here will voice their opinions. My biggest concern is the caps. How old are they and if they were re... |
