| Final Report, Canare 4S11 Speaker Cable I think the Canare cable is a good budget priced cable, and in some situations might be a better choice than "higher end" cables. I used to have a pair of Magnepan 3.5r speakers driven by a Krell FPB-300 and was using older Nordost Red Dawn cable.... | |
| Coax Digital Out -> XLR Digital Input cable? I'm curious why you aren't using the built in streaming support in the Boulder instead of using the Node 2i? | |
| Coax Digital Out -> XLR Digital Input cable? You could also try using Toslink optical since both the Node 2i and Boulder support this. | |
| Schiit - shipments stopped? @emergingsoul - clearly Schiit's approach to customer service isn't working for you. Why don't you cancel your order and move on instead of continuing to gripe about it. | |
| what is the advantage of having a Roon core that's not on your computer? I switched from using my Windows PC to using a NUC running Roon Rock. When I had the NUC connected over my home network (through an EtherRegen) to a Bryston streamer, I can't say for sure that the NUC sounded any better. But it was certainly a l... | |
| High end Class D amps? Looks like this one to me. https://www.pascal-audio.com/product/s-pro2/ | |

| Krell Class A/B power amps, do 'anticipator circuits' work? Yeah, I think it has more to do with setting the bias based on the current requirements (as in amps) of the current situation (e.g. listening level and speaker load requirements). For many speakers and most listening conditions, a fully biased cla... | |
| Harley quote @djones51 - if you want to select products based on the way they measure, that's certainly your (and anyone else's) prerogative. Personally, I'd rather choose products that sound good to me, regardless of what the measurements say. Measurements ca... | |
| Harley quote I don't get it. Music is all about personal perception and emotional engagement. Arguing that someone couldn't possibly hear a difference because the measurements don't show it makes no sense. If a particular listener prefers one product over anot... | |
| Krell Class A/B power amps, do 'anticipator circuits' work? Here is a link to Dan D'Agostino's patent for plateau bias. This describes, in general terms, how his circuit works. https://patents.google.com/patent/US5331291 | |
| High end Class D amps? @djones51 - if your definition of an ideal amp is a perfect voltage source, meaning an amp with zero Ohm output impedance, then a class D amp gets closer to this ideal than any other amplifier topology. Class D amps have much lower output impedanc... | |
| High end Class D amps? You make it sound like the Wilson Alexia is the most popular speaker on the market. How many of these has Wilson sold? I’ve owned a lot of speakers over the years and none had an impedance curve that dropped below 2 ohms. If you own Wilson Alexias... | |
| Schiit order issue - anyone receiving shipments? Clearly, schiit is having financial problems. If it were just COVID they would say this. So it’s more. While I agree that they should do a better job communicating product delays, it's pretty ridiculous to assume they are having financial pro... | |
| Schiit order issue - anyone receiving shipments? Schiit designs and builds products that deliver excellent value at lower price points, and does all their manufacturing in the US. This approach appeals to a lot of customers which has allowed them to grow very rapidly over the past ten years. But... |
