| Aurender N100H or Auralic Aries? @jon2020May I ask what your previous source was? I am currently using a Windows 7 "all inclusive" workstation to feed my DAC, and am considering trying this unit out. I was impressed by the Aurender interface and sound quality at Axpona a couple... | |
| Stuck in a digital age rut/ problem and need some Help! CD players do seem to fail due to the transports as a weak link, so why not look at DAC's as a complete solution, rather than a bridge? I switched from CD players to DAC's 3 years ago, and I have definitely enjoyed improved sound (OK, the DAC's c... | |
| How much does tube brand REALLY affect sound in terms of rectifier tubes? Rectifier tubes absolutely change the sound of your gear as much as small signal tubes and power tubes, IME. I have rolled 5AR4 types in my Lampizator Golden Gate, and it can have a big influence. Whether you will like the change a given tube is... | |
| What speaker cable made a major difference in the sound quality of your speakers?? @schubert My experience between the Clear Day Double Shotgun vs. the Morrow SP7 runs different than yours, likely due to different systems, I'm guessing. I found the SP7's and the Clear Day's both to provide a somewhat recessed presentation, but ... | |
| What speaker cable made a major difference in the sound quality of your speakers?? At the $1,000 ceiling, I cast another anecdotal vote for Clear Day Cable, Double Shotgun. I used them between an EAR 890 (w/ Ei KT90's) driving some Vandersteen Quatro's, using two full runs for separated biwiring ($900 total in that config). Th... | |
| Speaker to mount in a bookcase - up to $2000 (somewhat long) +1 on the Sojn "the clue". I have used these for 3 years now in my living room setup tucked into bookcases on either side of the fireplace, and they sound pretty good. My wife definitely appreciates the smaller aesthetics, and the speaker design... | |
| General Initial Impressions--Genalex Gold Lion KT88 Reissue I really like the new GL KT-88's in my VAC Phi 200. I bit more warmth in the midrange, great bass authority, and a smooth extension on the top end versus the Shuguang that VAC ships the amp with. It was the right touch for my system's voicing, w... | |
| Hey guys,time to can your table. All you need is love! Wow. I bet this manages the issues of microvibration control so much better.... I will be fantastic sound, the most beautiful sound ever! You will be so amazed and proud of this sound! | |
| The awful truth about CDs, do they have the same shelve life as LP's ? Having ripped ~2,000 CD's using dBpoweramp with its Accurip comparison tool, I have had very few that were not bit-perfect matches to everyone else's out there. That seems like pretty good preservation. When one does run afoul, it almost always ... | |
| Parallel SET with sufficient power I have a pair of Lampizator 211 mono's that run a pair of 211 per side in parallel, and I can confirm that Al and Ralph are tipping you off correctly. My 211's boast 85 watts of a tube power, but when I tried them on a speaker that dipped down to... | |
| Best Phono Cable for SME Series V Yeah, isn't that silly of me. I didn't even look at the date, it was just in Audiogon's "More to Discover" teaser window over on the right, so I clicked and shared my experience. Why Audiogon has that loaded there, I don't know, but I will certa... | |
| Best Phono Cable for SME Series V On my SME V, I have progressed through the Graham IC50, then moved up to the Silver Breeze (great value for money, IME), and settled upon the Stealth Audio Hyperphono. The Graham IC50 was clearly an improvement over the VdH cable, and the Silver ... | |
| Counterpoint NP-220 died: Check out the PS Audio BHK stereo and mono amps. Hybrids with lots of power and excellent sound quality. | |
| Vandersteen tilt question Tilt is truly critical for the Vandersteens, for imaging and tonality, so spend the time to get it right. I owned Quatro's for a happy while, and I found that the foolproof way to get this done in my room was to use a level with a laser pointer.... | |
| Speaker Cable Burn in Companies Try Alan Kafton at Audiodharma, the manufacturer of the Cable Cooker. He's on the web.(And please settle your debt with benjie>) |
