| Parasound A21 and A21+: Significant Improvements in SQ? I have the Jc5 for about a month now and the darn thing is still breaking in! Now having said that, this is just a first rate amp period! Out the box , I questioned the whole upgrade process, two weeks later I started upgrading everything around i... | |
| receiver or preamp The newer Denon receivers can virtually shut off the amps turning themselves into pre/amp processors, that are just get a Marantz 7705 pre/pro and call it a day. | |
| Bi-Wire with two pairs of speaker cables Just replaced my Morrow Sp3 internal Biwire (old version) with two runs of new Sp3 for an external Biwire. I did this after running the old Sp3 to the woofers and new to the Mid/highs and liked the results. Bottom set still breaking in but good an... | |
| Oppo 203 SPDIF Digital Coax output I plan on trying my 2019 Shield pro via usb soon to a dac I just picked up but as it stands for now I use my oppo 203 via coax set to LPCM to take advantage of high res files up to 24/192hz, will it send that via bitstream as well? that may be the... | |
| Power strips- too many choices I still have my Dectet .and really find it hard to fault. | |
| Amp to Pair with Revel F228be I had the Pass X250.8 on my list as well but no chance to demo,so went with my first choice ,the JC5 and couldn't be happier . | |
| What player to stream Amazon HD with? I just checked and my Nvidia shield pro 2019 has an usb out, It's has Amazon standard but hope they will upgrade to HD as that will be a great solution , it's the main reason I got an outboard dac to toy with. | |
| Audio envy - dang! When I tried the O' nestian 4:3 against my older version MA 4 xlr's between pre and amp, I loved the upper mid to top end extension as well, almost felt the cables were already burned in, but in the end the sacrifice of lower mid fullness and bass... | |
| What player to stream Amazon HD with? That looks like a great solution! | |
| New Morrow New cables have a bit more fleshed out tone more weight ut they still have that fast nimble sound ,all the things you like about Mikes cables. I just replaced my older Sp3 Biwire for a shot gun run of the new Sp3's and a new set of Ma 4 XLR's for ... | |
| Eleven digital cable audition. Sounds like you had fun! I recently sent the Pangea back I was trying with a Topping D90 in my setup and just could ignore the soundstage collapse and rolled off highs so they both went back. I'm currently testing the Gustard A18 dac but decided t... | |
| Which DAC is better ? Don't be surprised if the dac in the 8805 sounds better, it would be my choice, just use Heos for your streaming and it may just be all you need. Connect both as it will be the only way to know in your setup. | |
| Pangea True Balanced Premier SE XLR? I did try the Audio Envy XLR's and power cable awhile back, they are great for the money but preferred my Morrow Audio MA4 XLR's and went with a Clarity Cable Vortex for the power cable upgrade which is just great from top to bottom. | |
| Pangea True Balanced Premier SE XLR? Got a pair in over the weekend along with the coax cable, out of the box they sound fine so far with no hint of doing anything wrong. I have them running off an external dac I'm trying out (Topping D90) so my point of reference is a bit off. I do... | |
| Wild Fires, Air Purifiers and Sound Systems The Coway Airmega is a great recommendation, I use its larger sibling the 400s in my listening room, its my endgame purifier and love it. Another great option I use in ever other room throughout the house is the Winix 5500, its comparable to the C... |
