| Break In Failed Geezus…Blankets, Out of phase wiring, positioning, Seems like a hell of a lotta effort for something your not going to listen to…my question is, how do you even know if all that does anything beneficial if your not listening to the speakers from j... | |
| Digital is far better than vinyl Comparing $8K digital setup to a $800 analog rig is pure genius. 😂 | |
| Best way to keep REL sub from “hopping around” at high volumes My DIY…Herbies Audio Labs “thin grungebuster discs”. Very grippy, not gooey, messy or marring. About as thin as a business card and they keep that bad boy in place. | |
| Aurender N10 question… I have no complaints about the N100SC. Other than end user info and reviews, I’m not sure how much of an improvement the N10 would be…just my OCD pinging away for something new so I’m basically kicking tires. I’ll probably go listen to the N200 an... | |
| Aurender N10 question… @lalitk Thanks! looks like the smart move would be to hold out for a N200, didn’t realize they were close in price on the used market. | |
| Tube preamp options Surprised no one has mentioned Balanced Audio Technology. I have a VK-51SE, it’s a killer preamp. | |
| What is Your End Game System? Don’t know what the end game would be but a dedicated room with SoundLab electrostats, reference REL subs and current sucking tube monoblocks is definitely on my audiophile bucket list. | |

The USB was another nice bump up. although I should note finding the right cable is what gave USB the win. In some inst... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Bassface swing trio: “tribute to Cole Porter” Hi-Rez Qobuz: Stockfisch does Totally superb recordings, perfect for late nite listening. | |
| The Audiophile Recording "Anne Clark" Borderland Giving this a listen right now on Qobuz! | |
| Does Equipment Break In, or Does Our Hearing Adjust? Would be really interesting to make a recording of a new piece of gear on day 1 and then after 400 hours. | |
| What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world? @yowser Reference 3A’s are magnificent. I have the Royal Virtuoso with the Corian cabinets and Beryllium tweeter. | |
| VAC preamps - too expensive? @audioguy85 I never understood all the hype behind that Border Patrol DAC. Perhaps it was a system synergy thing at the time but it left me completely unimpressed. | |
| Virtual Dynamics Master Series in the rig! @kota1 Thanks! I’m constantly on the hunt for VD Master power cords, I have one on my power amp, the rest of the system has David and Power 1 & 3. Fantastic cables for the money. New jumpers arrived today (Audio Sensibility Statement) these... | |
| BAT VK-51SE in the rig! @sbank Any advice on using Standby vs leaving the unit powered on when not listening? One thing that obvious is that the unit definitely requires a few hours to sound its best from a cold start. Does standby negate the warm up period completely?... |
