| Streamer Upgrade Bluesound Node To Aurender N10 I went from the Node2i to a Aurender N100SC, the overall improvement was tremendous. Then I played with coax vs USB connection. 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?... | |
| Cable brands that work well with Cardas? @marco1 I just balked on a set of Golden Reference speaker cables. Im using clear Reflection XLR’s and ultimately would like to go with the same for the speakers. They will be a significant expense so I’m holding out until I get into a dedicated... | |
| Help with USB Cable Option I replaced the Cardas with Sablon 2020 Panatela. Im a big fan of Cardas cabling but the Sablon Usb wins it hands down. | |
| What do you do when you inherit some gear that you don’t want. YMMV, I’d be reeeeally hesitant to trust UPS with a set of heavy speakers. | |
| FIdelity Cables or Virtual Dynamics I use VD Master, David, Power One & Three powercords throughout my rig and I just acquired a set of the Master Series speaker cables. Very excited to see what they bring to the system! | |
| Thoughts about the "Cheapaudioman" on YouTube Cheapaudioman is very entertaining but he does push a lot of garbage which I feel is a disservice to those who are working with a tight budget. @jeffseight Something about that dude Ron’s vibe completely turns me off | |
| Wilson tiny tots @hiendmmoe 100% @craigdemling Aren’t the Tots like $9k?? your gonna need some decent gear to level up with and justify their existence. | |
| Reference 3A upgrades! @theedge Thanks for your thoughts. The RV full Corian cabinets are incredibly inert, the only issue is maintenance. While polishing the speakers one day I noticed that the l left speaker had a verrry fine hairline crack running right along side ... |
