| Terminator II or Rockna Wavedream Edition (non signature version) which one to buy and why Just an FYI for the OP and Denafrips owners who may not already be aware of this- I’ve found that utilizing the USB output is an absolute must. I initially discounted using USB because my unit needed a firmware upgrade which I didn’t have the capa... | |
| DAC recommendation in 5 to 10K range @vthokie83 I too just made the switch over from coax to USB on my Terminator. I can concur with your findings, I’m temporarily using a cheapo $10 Amazon USB cable and it’s besting a very good Cardas Clear digital coax. It’s a bit of an eye opene... | |
| Keeping your components Dust Free I Swifter my gear and apartment 2x a week…OCD strong, it is. | |
| Cardas Clear Reflection advice needed @decooney I’ve taken a new approach with cables, I install them and let them run at low level for 24hrs before I sit down for my 1st listening (at night when my rig sounds best) and I’ll write down my initial impressions. After that I let them r... | |
| Has Anyone Tried Nobsound Springs Or Other Isolation Devices Below REL Subwoofers? My S/510 was extremely overpowering my room until I took the advice of a few ppl and moved it out of the corner and put a thick granite slab under it…bingo, problem solved. Soon as I move to a new joint I’m adding another S/510 to my rig, these th... | |
| Anybody watch Steve Huff audio on the Tube? I do occasionally check out his vids, he comes off as a likable dude but I think his reviews are 100% full of shyte, as are the vast majority of these HiFi YouTubers 🙄 The only channels I actually look forward to are Big Jay and OCD Mikey…Audiophi... | |
| What's the heaviest speaker you've ever owned? What's the tallest? Ref 3A Royal Virtuoso with Corian cabinets are 55lb mini tanks! Factor in the sand filled Monolith stands and we are at 100+ lbs. | |
| Advice from Audiogon family - best speaker $3k-$4k ProAc is a serious contender. When I went from Sonus Faber to ProAc (monitors) I never looked back. They are extremely dynamic, big soundstage, punchy, completely non-fatiguing, smooth. a DT8 will knock your socks off…good luck on your hunt! | |
| Cable brands that work well with Cardas? @decooney So are you using Cardas or AP for speaker cables? | |
| Cable brands that work well with Cardas? @ghdprentice 11pm here, I’m doing my usual late nite low level listening (Kenny Baron/Without Deception) and I’m still pleasantly surprised at the improvement these cables made. | |
| Cable brands that work well with Cardas? @decooney Cardas Clear digital from streamer to Dac, Clear Reflection Dac to Pre and Clear Reflection pre to amp. | |
| Cable brands that work well with Cardas? Update: I scored (literally) a set of Cardas Neutral Reference speaker cables and I’m surprised at how considerably better they are over my Studio C cables. Most noticeably with the weight, clarity and impact of the bass. I should be completely co... | |
| Cardas Clear Reflection advice needed @sdl4 My situation is very similar to yours regarding speaker cables. I would love to go with CR but I need 15ft of cable which would cost close to $5K new? I just couldn’t justify that expense for the level I’m playing at. So I kept my eyes on th... | |
| Cardas Clear Reflection advice needed @decooney I have Clear Reflection going from Dac to Pre and Pre to Amp. they replaced Golden Refs that I had on loan. The GR were luxurious but just a bit too rich for my rig. Clear Reflection has a touch more clarity/definition, yet still velvety... |
