| EgglestonWorks Andra in nearfield? @spenav Thanks for this. I didn’t have the chance to fully read thru the Stereophile review that @tablejockey pointed me to. | |
| What Is Most Important? Enjoying wtf you have. Occasionally I fall into that state of mind where I’m more focused on what needs improvement or what doesn’t sound right than just enjoying what I have. | |
| Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life? @goofyfoot The 3A’s throw a huge soundstage. I’m set up for near field, they are exemplary especially at lower volume. | |
| Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life? @goofyfoot If I recall correctly, Singer had the Apogees paired with a full house Krell system. I’ll never forget the dynamic slam and massive / deep 3-D soundstage they put out. I’m sure nowadays there’s better but I’ve yet to experience anythi... | |
| Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life? Apogee Acoustics Grand: heard these numerous times back in the day at Sound by Singer NYC. In a word, unbelievable. Quad ESL57: They have been on my HiFi bucket list for over 2 decades, I’m determined to own a set before I drop dead 😂 | |
| Dac or Power regen, which gets the better cable? @sns I’m slowly working towards that…VD is no longer in production, I’ve been acquiring them whenever I can. Ultimately I’d love to have Masters on all components. Incredible pc for the money. | |
| Dac or Power regen, which gets the better cable? Update: I played a little power cable musical chairs few days ago and I’m finally sitting down this morning for some listening. While not jaw dropping, there is a noticeable improvement in space / separation. One thing that irks me is when voices ... | |
| Good Ethernet switch Geez…That switch is built like a tank! | |
| Dac or Power regen, which gets the better cable? Taking everyone’s thoughts into consideration I’ve come up with a plan. The incoming pc is a VD Masters series and that will go on my amp (str8 2 the wall), the pc from the amp is a VD David series and that will go to the Preamp. The pc on the pre... | |
| Dac or Power regen, which gets the better cable? @bkeske I thought about going to the streamer but I’m thinking the Dac would benefit more from a higher grade PC since it has a giant power supply (Denafrips Terminator). | |
| Dac or Power regen, which gets the better cable? @erik_squires Great point! | |
| Supra Cat 8 Ethernet cable I choose Supra Cat8 for its build quality, at 50 bucks per meter, I thought it was a reasonable upgrade. At the time I was using a Node2i with a ARC dac, can’t say for certain if there was definitive improvement over the stock Cat5, at best there ... | |
| Tweaking the network, surprising results… @retiredfarmer No worries brother and thank you for the compliment. The Ref 3A’s are fantastic, I cannot wait to get them into a dedicated room and hear them at their fullest potential. | |
| Tweaking the network, surprising results… @retiredfarmer My speakers are dialed in tight. I geeked out and pick up a Prexiso laser measurement gizmo off Amazon. Best toy ever! I was surprised to discover how off my speaker placement was. @wsrrsw Network Acoustics Muon Ethernet Fil... | |
| Tweaking the network, surprising results… Thanks for chiming in fellas, it’s 1230am right about now and I’ve been sitting here for the past couple hours playing track after track of recordings that I’m extremely familiar with and I keep trying to wrap my head around how things have chang... |
