| Opinions on PMC vs. Neat, Monitor Audio @mb1audio02 I would be interested to understand your considerations when you recommend a preamp?Also, wouldn't the 5350 be a "waste" if used only as a power amp? | |
| Opinions on PMC vs. Neat, Monitor Audio @mb1audio02 I think due to the non-standard speaker placement, I am not getting the most of the speakers. The sound out of the Neat is a bit lean and not involving. The MA are a too laid back and also probably suffering from not being in a more co... | |
| Opinions on PMC vs. Neat, Monitor Audio @itzhak1969 I mentioned some of that info in the post.I use a Creek Classic 5350SE int. amp, in a small-medium room, but the speakers are placed on isoAcoustics stands on a desk in a near-field setup.I currently use Neat Motive 3, and also tried M... | |
| Another DAC recommendation Thanks for the responses. @mahler123 Regarding the speakers, that may be the case, but I'm not sure. The reason is that the differences aren't huge also on the Sennheiser HD650 which are supposed to be very scalable headphones. I know the Creek in... | |
| Anybody here terminate DH Labs BL-1 cable? This is quite interesting actually. I built 2 IC's, one with Mogami W2534 and Neutrik Profi, and one with BL-1 and Furutech FP-126.Listening with my Senn HD650 (Creek 5350SE amp + Creek Destiny CDP) the BL-1 is very bright, even harsh sometimes.Th... | |
| Anybody here terminate DH Labs BL-1 cable? I'm using DH Labs BL-1 between my Creep CDP and amp and a DH Labs power cord for my amp.. but not Thiel speakers.I was using Neat Motive 3 and now experimenting with Monitor Audio GX50 | |
| Is it biwiring or biamping if using two separate speaker posts of a single amp? Great thanks for the info !I think I will skip this experiment for now | |
| CDP recommendation for Creek Classic 5350se Based on my budget, I have a shortlist from used classifieds. Any recommendations from these to go with the Creek:1) Arcam CD732) Exposure 30103) Exposure 2010s24) Creek Evo5) Creek Destiny or Rega Saturn (would require almost doubling my budget... | |
| CDP recommendation for Creek Classic 5350se Thanks for the suggestions.My budget does allow for one of those BEE players, so that is an option.Another one is a Rega Apollo.Anyone have experience with the Apollo and Creek?Another option is perhaps to replace the MF V-DAC 2 and use the Arcam ... | |
| CDP recommendation for Creek Classic 5350se Thanks for the suggestions.Are either an Oppo or NAD upgrades to the Arcam DV135? Even though its not a dedicated CDP it is pretty decent | |
| Anybody here terminate DH Labs BL-1 cable? I haven't used the Furutech 126 yet, so I could replace for KLE Copper Harmony (within my budget).Based on your experience, do you think that would be worthwhile with the BL-1? | |
| Anybody here terminate DH Labs BL-1 cable? @williewonka Thanks for the detailed post and links. Those designs do look interesting although seem a bit more complicated than what I can get into currently but will reference them surely in the future.I’m starting my first DIY IC’s now with Mog... | |
| Anybody here terminate DH Labs BL-1 cable? Great, thanks for the help! You confirmed what I thought. | |
| Anybody here terminate DH Labs BL-1 cable? Right.. but do you use that shield on either end?I thought you only use the 2 wires + drain | |
| Anybody here terminate DH Labs BL-1 cable? Thanks for your responses!What confused me about the BL1 is that it does not have a shield but rather is a twisted pair with a drain wire (as opposed to coax that has one wire with shield)@williewonka what you mention is interesting. One of my sou... |
