| tidying up cables I have removed the speaker cables from the mess by running them straight out of the amp and along the mortar joints in the brickwork, about 4’ off the floor and keeping them in place with a blob of Blue Tak. I took the opportunity to trim them by ... | |
| tidying up cables I won’t be getting rid of the rack any time soon millercarbon so will have to try some of the other tweaks first. No PC bundling though. It would appear, judging from your pix that having cables intersect is not the issue, rather, that they don’t ... | |
| tidying up cables Thanks for the quick response Erik.Im not sure on the power strip but could probably move the power board closer to the shelf unit. It as surge protection and filtering and is the one Thor recommend and supply for use with the conditioner.I'll gi... | |
| Can speakers sound worse during break-in period? I understand Zu "burn" their drivers in for 400 hours prior to installing them in the cabinet and I believe they still exhibit minor tonal changes after using them in the home. Whether that is due to the amp or further "burning in" is beyond me. | |
| Question about Tone Controls + Equalizers Copied from a previous reply - Tone controls are mostly a "feature" of cheaper amps. They help boost or tune the sound to compensate for system weaknesses. Some high end stuff has them too. Top of the line Luxmans from the '70s for example.You ca... | |
| Is it all worth it? Ditch the phone and buy a good streamer/server. You won't regret it!I have an Antipodes and have FLAC ripped all of my CDs into the onboard HDD.With an iPad as a remote, I use Roon to listen to them (server) and access Tidal via Roon for streaming... | |

| sound quality control (mixing) at live venues I should have mentioned that I am in Sydney, Australia and have never been to Broadway. We have some wonderful venues here and have heard some great music over the years at many of them. Sydney Town Hall or the Opera House for example, have amazi... | |
| Streamers and bit rot. Antipodes from New Zealand seem to do a great job across the board. I highly recommend them | |
| Are your speakers designed for your listening taste and hearing ability? Interesting OP and replies.IME when you factor in the source equipment chain, room acoustics and media recording quality, all speakers can/will sound different.I have never been happier with my system than now, simply after having moved it into a ... | |
| Looking for recommendations for a 'warm' sounding DAC Hi, I would like to suggest the Denafrips family of DACs. My Klipschorns can sound clinical at times with certain material via my previous Rega DAC, but not since the Denafrips became part of the supply chain so no need to change your speakers. ... | |
| Whats the popular brand, most musical, digital cable now? What format? I stream Tidal via Roon from an Antipodes server/streamer to a Denafrips Pontus DAC using a Curious Cable USB cable and find it very satisfying. Not thin at all. I would normally try a coax or optical connection but enjoy the way it is too much to... | |
| Suggestions for higher efficiency speakers pkatsuleas you may have heard some Klipsch models over the years but did you hear them being powered by the sort of amp you're now interested in? My vintage Klipschorns react differently to each amp I use with them - 12W Mullard, 20W Weston Trou... | |
| Recommendations for high quality Streaming Audio: An Antipodes DS streamer/server works for me. Connected to the modem by ethernet cable and then runs to my separate DAC (although it does have a very good built-in DAC) and then on to my amp. I use an iPad to remotely control Roon which runs the F... |
