| Digital is far better than vinyl This is a longstanding debate amongst those who love digital vs those who understand and have experienced the virtues of vinyl/analog playback on a properly setup table. I love the convenience of digital and can say digital playback has made signi... | |
| Benefits of adding a 10MHz Master Clock to a digital system I recently acquired the Mutec Ref 10 and I am having great success with it hooked up and synchronizing my dCS Vivaldi One w/Vivaldi 2.0 Clock via its Master Reference input, two (2) SOtM sNH-10G Ethernet Switch Hub w/clk. (in parallel) into their ... | |
| Innuos Statement Review Ok Boys and Girls - I had an “oh crap” moment tonight - almost 700 hours straight of letting the Statement play and the Statement went to another stratosphere - my ears have gone into an orgasmic state transforming me into audio nirvana. I thought... | |
| Innuos Statement Review Thanks hehaw77 for the tip on the SOtM Ethernet Cables. I have them on order. | |
| Innuos Statement Review Interesting banter and I will be able to provide my two cents in two weeks when I do an a-b comparison between the Innuos Statement and Antipodes’ EX+CX two-box configuration. I have owned Innuos (MKII SE and now the Statement) and Antipodes (DX3)... | |
| Innuos Statement Review Thanks Astewart8944 for your review and discussion on the Innuos Statement. Your review was the information I needed to push me over the edge to order the Statement ten days ago. I currently own and love the Antipodes DX3 Server but was intrigue... | |
| Streamer upgrade recommendations Veroguy, I have both the W4S Modified Connect Box and Bluesound Node 2i and must say the Bluesound Node 2i sounds much better however my Antipodes DX3 Server is head over both units. | |
| PS Audio AC Regenerators Dweller - I did try staggering one-at-a-time with no change in the results. ARC amps drop my electrical outlet voltage reading by 5-6 volts when plugged directly into the outlets - so when I plug the amps into the P20 and turn them on they shut d... | |
| PS Audio AC Regenerators Garypennstate - I have the P20 and love it with one exception. I cannot plug my ARC 250SE Monoblocks into the P20 or it will shutdown. It does a great job cleaning up power and provides a darker background and allows greater detail, transparency... | |
| ARC Ref 5se VS ARC Ref 6 The 6H30P-DR’s can be purchased from the Tubestore (www.tubestore.com) out of Canada and they are currently $299.95 each - I have seen them on eBay cheaper but I rather spend a few extra dollars buying from the Tubestore.... they stand behind what... | |
| ARC Ref 5se VS ARC Ref 6 I started my ARC journey with the Ref 5SE followed by the Ref 6 and now the Ref 10. The Ref 6 is without a doubt the Best Buy of the three - the change from Ref 6 over the 5SE was a significant improvement, while the Ref 10 provides more of what ... | |
| Running DCS Vivladi DIRECT? I have run my Vivaldi DAC directly into my ARC Ref 250SE’s and felt running the DAC into my Ref 10 preamp gives better sound - I agree with Folkfreak the line stage in the Vivaldi is not as good as it should be - especially for the money. | |
| ARC Ref 6 and Ref 10 opinions , talk, stories, buying options and opinions I have owned the Ref 5SE, Ref 6 and now the Ref 10 and must say there is a noticeable difference between the units with the biggest difference noted when I went from the Ref 5SE to the Ref 6. However the Ref 10 takes it to another level by expandi... | |
| Audio Research GS150 vs REF150 SE I have listened to the Ref 150SE extensively and owned the GS150 before moving up to the Ref 250SE’s. The Ref 150SE is a better sounding amplifier and was magical with the Wilson Alexia II’s in a recent audition of the Wilson speakers. When my dea... | |
| Alta Audio speakers--anyone heard them? Yes, Alta asked for my permission to use part of my response to the review of the Titaniums in Audiophilia in his advertisement. The answer was easy because I believe in the speaker. Thanks |
