| HAVE CABLES EVER TAKEN YOUR SYSTEM FROM SOUNDING JUST OK TO SOUNDING GREAT? Experiences ? in my experience, cables have an effect (good and bad) in my system. i also believe in cable synergy. They do have a profound impact and changes the tone/musicality of music I have settled with audioquest, Transparent and Nordost as they are eas... | |
| So, “Audio Science Review” really doesn’t like this video IMO, i am a believer of the Iso acoustics pucks or isolation feet. In my particular case, the improvements i heard was predominant when i was using it with my Falcon Gold Badge LS35a. i don't have floor standers so no comment on that. I was skep... | |
| Amplifier for MoFi SourcePoint 8 speakers OP- it seems like you are heading towards a Multichannel type setup. I heard the AGD Gan Amps in a recent audio show and they are very good. I own Pass Amps (Xa25, x150) and they are my reference stereo setup, but for Multichannel?? i would go wit... | |
| Which amp with Wilson watt puppy 8 OP- since you already have the Wilson speakers, just ditch your current amp and get a Pass X250.8 and Pass Xp-22 or a Cary SLP if you want some tube sound, then, a pair of good speaker cables and start there. play around the positioning of the spe... | |
| Tube preamplifier lifespan To the OP- I am using a Preamp by Linear Tube audio, which claims that they run the tubes in such a way that it can last 10 to 20K hours. I had the amp for about 2 years now, its pretty much turned on 18 hours a day. 7 days a week. i had a spare... | |
| Integrated that blew you away For me, the integrated i like most is the Gryphon diablo 333 I am a Pass guy with their Power amps, and heard the Int 60, but the 333 is a class of its own | |
| Finally heard Accuphase I was at the show too and heard the accuphase line as presented by commonwealth Hifi. I will Not say that they sound bad, BUT it did not sound phenomenal. IMO, they sound as same as most of the vendors at the show. YUP, it does have a steep price.... | |
| Is there a ROON sound? IMO, I don't think there is a "ROON" house sound. I'm in the camp that bits are bits Being a ROON user for several years, I did have the chance to switch hardware around (Macs, then dedicated streamer) and all resulted in a change in sound, Howev... | |

| ??? WHY WHY WHY ??? Class A vs Everything Else I forgot to add.. I also owned another class AB amp that is pretty much a good implementation of AB. that is Benchmark AHB2 and truly it sounds amazing. However, once you experience a good Class A implementation as you and i have experienced, o... | |
| ??? WHY WHY WHY ??? Class A vs Everything Else I believe that just being Class A is not the complete solution, it's both the designer and their implementation of Class A that counts. My Amp is a Class A Pass lab and that sounds superb to me. i had heard some CLASS A implementations a Chinese a... | |
| What does your DAC sound like I got the Denafrips Venus2 12th (R2R) which i got a couple of years ago, is still my got to DAC. It sounds analog like to me as compared to my previous Chord QuTest and I find it better to my taste as compared to the Holo Dac KTE. The Holo Dac i... | |
| Subwoofer Phase Control In my experience, this feature really helped me integrate my REL (some of their models have phase control) in a high passed speaker setup that I have. what I saw (using REW) was that Phase control removed the "dip" at the integration frequency o... | |
| Bass Traps OP, I also observed the same effect you had experience (lower sub output) and i think, based on what i saw on REW, the amount of low frequency reflections seems to drop with the bass traps installed. what i like most is that bass definition beca... | |
| Acoustics experts - a little help please To OP As posted above, the recording must have the sense of depth and height. IMO, if the recording has the sense and you know it but cannot hear that, then i think it must be your speakers?? What i have observed is that I have a set of speaker... |
