In-wall ethernet cable for streamer @mahler123 I could by a 50' patch cable and just run it across the floor ad down the steps as a test. | |
Acoustic panels: ATS vs GIK @erik_squires its almost exactly $100 less than GIK, and that is with the upgrade to Gilford of Maine cloth. If I add the Guilford upgrade onto the GIK order that would add an additional ~$100 to that, making the difference now $200. | |
Tube matching question @tablejockey the actual lion holding the KT88 sign faces forward, the Gold Lion script lettering faces the rear. https://i.imgur.com/1yUdW2g.jpg | |
Tube matching question @riley804 based on how the KT88’s sound so far I will most likely buy a pair for backup. I’ve been enjoying them so far. | |
Tube matching question @riley804 If you actually read my post I said I actually made changes to tone down the other 2 tubes so they looked more similar. I am sorry you felt I wasted your time and the other members because it didn't bother me enough after I made the chan... | |
Tube matching question @riley804 OK, so why is that a big wow? As I said it was a little thing, I was exploring options if I wanted to replace them for a slight cosmetic flaw. I chose not to. Not sure how that is a wow. | |
Tube matching question Thanks all, I am actually going to leave it be. They sound great, dead quiet and I had to spend the extra right now. The more I looked at it the more I realized the two middle ones were really bright gold and the 2 outer ones were more faint. I ac... | |
Tube matching question I failed to mention I just got them and only have like 8 hours on them | |
Which cardas IC for Ayre components? @russellrcncom I know its not Ayre components but I just put a new Cardas Clear Sky 1m RCA interconnect between my Chord Qutest DAC and PrimaLuna EVO 300 integrated amp. It sounds wonderful and its only got about 5 hours on it. I am replacing a Ki... | |
Bluesound installed DAC - music killer? @melvinjames You have a great point. I would certainly be interested in one! | |
Bluesound installed DAC - music killer? @ericsch Sure. I am using an 18 yr old pair of B&W CDM9NT being driven by a PrimaLuna EVO 300 integrated. Using an older Kimber Illuminati D60 coax cable between the 2i and Qutest and Kimber Hero RCA between the Qutest and PrimaLuna. I did not... | |
Bluesound installed DAC - music killer? @emergingsoul I bought a Node 2i back in July, I didn't think it was too bad for the price. I had always planned on getting a DAC, but I could live with the built in DAC. Last night I installed my new Chord Qutest. I knew it would make a differen... | |
External DAC? @prashanth13485 Congrats on the new DAC, enjoy. I was going to chime in and recommend the Qutest since I just got one and I am very happy. I thought the Node 2i was a nice piece on its own for the money, but a nice DAC just takes it to a whole dif... | |
Bluesound node 2i @howardlander I purchased a Node 2i about 2 months ago and have really been enjoying it along with a Qobuz subscription. I have Cat5e cable run throughout my home by me when our home was being built a few years ago going to my network closet, so I... | |
Confused as to where to go next...looking for warmth a lot of great suggestions above on components. I will second the Qobuz over Tidal recommendation. I did a 30 day trial of both and was loving the Tidal selections and the whole MQA thing, but my system sounded bright. When I did more A/B comparis... |
