| Plug in preamp while amp is on caused very loud pop on speaker. @rogerhifi as stated above if things sound ok you should be fine. I did something even stupider a week ago. Reinstalling my streamer I ran one of the analog outputs to my DAC instead of the digital coax output. A very loud screeching sound launche... | |
| Kimber KCAG versus Nordost, newer Kimber interconnects, etc I would agree with Elizabeth i also ran KCAG years ago, two sets if I remember correctly. I've upgraded a number of times since then and haven't looked back. That being said I haven't heard any current Kimber offerings nor Nordost so can't be any ... | |
| Best Values In Speakers To Pair With Coincident Frankenstein MKII Monoblocks? @nightfall To answer your questions the designations for AN speakers K, J, and E, don't refer to the cabinets getting better just bigger. All 3 models use the same 8" bass driver and the J and E have the same 1" tweeter the K's tweeter is 3/4". Wi... | |
| which car is sitting in your listening room? @analogvm15 Ha no way all original! I paid about $15K used. | |
| Best Values In Speakers To Pair With Coincident Frankenstein MKII Monoblocks? I would highly recommend Audio Note you can find used J’s and possible used E’s for under $5K. Easy to drive and designed to be paired with low powered tube amps. I have a pair of J’s myself and love them a very natural organic slightly warm trans... | |
| Tidal WiFi not as good as cd I have the exact same streaming setup as @wrm57 and Tidal sounds great to me. Some cd masters I own sound better than Tidal and Tidal sounds better than some cd masters I own. | |
| which car is sitting in your listening room? Dudes the only VW bus to own is the classic 21 window split windshield. Running or not she's a beaut! :) | |

| Tidal WiFi not as good as cd You should use a better connection than airplay. Wifi or wired would make an appreciable difference in sound quality. | |
| What to do? Buy a new motherboard and rebuild? Or wait for failure? I am not really a very savvy computer person but I have to say your setup sounds needlessly complicated and also not geared towards high sound quality. Are you running the computer straight into your integrated amp or into a DAC? | |
| The Absolute Sound "review" of USB cable reads suspiciously like a press releaste @nonoise it clearly reads as a press release, TAS has a separate News tab full of press releases and this is filed under Equipment Reports. More likely a simple mistake rather than something more nefarious or lazy. | |
| Selling Advice Selling systems is pretty difficult it's much easier to sell each component separately. | |
| The Absolute Sound "review" of USB cable reads suspiciously like a press releaste It says Equipment Report in the top right corner. A press release masquerading as a review pretty sad. | |
| WHAT SHOULD BE MY NEXT SYSTEM UPGRADE? In terms of streaming the devices you mention duplicate the functions of your Lumin U1 which is a streamer/renderer. Most of the devices you mention are also streamer/renderers but what you need is storage. In my opinion you would be better served... | |
