| Whats the difference ... There are some nice affordable all-in-one systems out there. I am not a fan of wasting money in the long run as most of us are so I preferred to buy separates. This way when your streaming transport goes out you can replace it. I use the BlueSound... | |
| 3 choices for power amp I believe I have helped a lot of people on and off this forum who have thousands of posts. I am a good problem solver so I like to help people out. This can be a frustrating hobby at times. I was just at a reviewers house who has been in the audio... | |
| 3 choices for power amp That’s why. No trust. | |
| 3 choices for power amp I know this sounds out in left field. Galleon A75. Down the road you will understand. At $1500 you are getting 95% of those including CODA but at 25% of the cost. good luck! | |
| 12 wire compared to Nordost Blue Heaven Speaker Cable? I think you would have better off upgrading the power cord to the Nordost Blue Heaven or Red Dawn. I did this in the past and it blew my mind. I would definitely buy used which will be easy because Nordost just upgraded their Leif line. The one ca... | |
| RCA to XLR cable question. I’m thinking Magomi Platinum XLR/ RCA. Pretty cheap with nice features. You want a good shielding because you won’t have the benefit of removing the common noise. | |
| what are the best sounding Accuphase or Luxman amps/preamps? I think that’s a great choice since you can push your speakers. Plus, Class A is awesome! | |
| what are the best sounding Accuphase or Luxman amps/preamps? I own the M10X amp. I also have an Audio Research Ref 5 SE tube preamp. This is a killer match for anybody. I’m pushing the Revel Studio 2 speakers. I believe they are like 86 db. I love a tube preamp with the SS amp. The Ref 5SE is killer especia... | |
| Power cords: does length matter? It sounds like the power supply in the components grab power about 2m away from the component. I don’t mean it is using the power 6.6’ away just that it is the length that matters to the sound. Nordost does recommend 2m. Is that to sell more cable... | |
| How often, and how, do you clean your stylus? I have used all of these methods on previous cartridges. The stylus gets up to 1200 degrees Fahrenheit. And gum, oil, or contaminants will get infused onto that stylus. Not good because it can act like a barrier or cushion and lower the detail. Y... | |
| Did anyone else disconnect thier equipment due to the geomagnetic storms? It’s ok, I painted all my gear blue. The weird thing is my system sounded amazing. My speakers love power! 😁 | |
| My new Borresen X3's It sounds like there will be some good deals to be had on the older models. I attended the Next Level Hifi event they had earlier this year. I swear at that show which was the first place you could hear or see them we were told $5500 with stands. ... | |
| 4ohms or 8ohms for refurbished WATT/Puppy 5.1's? 4ohm if your amp can keep up. | |
| Those rare albums that are great on first listen. Some of the older Jazz and classical albums that were recorded well are my favorite surprises. In fact from this post I have some listening to do. So thank you everyone for reminding me to go to the archives. Time to swap out a few of my top 100. | |
| Wonder product? One cool feature is you can setup your Azimuth with the Puffin. I feel it is good value for money as long as you are not a purist. I own a Fozgometer to setup azimuth and I have a decent analog rig therefore I would not have this in my main system... |
