| Recommendations for 7 channel amp https://earthquakesound.com/index.php/en/home-audio-division/home-products/home-amplifiers/item/cinenova-7 Joseph Sayhoun is the owner and not only do they build amazing amplifiers, Joseph himself sent me a video of him actually making mine (I ... | |
| 3.2 Channel with upgraded L/R or 5.2 channel? Agree with everyone else. Keep the 5 channels absolutely! I too run 5 channels like you but mostly listen in 2 channel. But every time the wife and I watch a movie we really appreciate those surrounds! How about this; add 2 more REL subs? I run... | |
| Leave system on or power everything down? @imhififan very interesting, I did not know that about the Earthquake. Thank you! I also have a Simaudio Titan 5 channel amp. I’d always wanted this from when they first came out back in like 2000, but I couldn’t afford one at that time. Had a ch... | |
| Leave system on or power everything down? @jl35 You are correct on that! I do not like to waste anything😂😊! Great call! | |
| Leave system on or power everything down? You are all awesome! Thanks so much for taking the time to help! it seems like almost a 50-50 split on this😂! You all make great points on both sides and it all makes sense… @bigtwin thanks for the laugh, yeah maybe consensus wasn’t the ri... | |
| Leave system on or power everything down? Thanks for the replies. I actually did reach out on the Grande and he said leave it on, but then changed and said turn it off when not in use “doesn’t really matter’. I can reach out to Krell and SVS as they’ve both always been very responsive. Sa... | |
| Leave system on or power everything down? Thanks @soix appreciate the reply and that makes sense. And it’s never been about the energy cost, more about what’s best for the components. I know turning on and off does contribute to wear and tear but I wondered if leaving on or idle also con... | |
| Being alone with your music What a great post…and for me, alone is truly the only way to listen. Door closed, curtains closed, lights off, complete isolation. @mrskeptic as I have often said, music is the closest thing we have to time travel. Nothing else can actually tr... | |
| Costliest Brainfart So sorry to hear this. I can fully, unfortunately, empathize. Whilst OCD can sometimes be a good thing, when it comes to adjusting and tweaking components this can be detrimental. In my constant neurotic quest to get every single component exactly... | |
| Toslink I use toslink between my Brennan B2 and Denafrips Pontus 12th Anniversary DAC! If you go the toslink route get this cable! http://www.lifatec.com/toslink2.html | |
| What DAC to buy? Denafrips Ares II! Having owned both Schiit Bifrost 2 and the Ares, I preferred the Ares. I found Ares to have a more 3 dimensional soundstage and just sounded more genuine than Bifrost. Not at all a knock on Bifrost more a testament to Ares… @mi... | |
| Has Your Hobby Changed? @mikelavigne embrace the pi$$ out of it man! Soon as I read your post I felt so compelled to respond. Much as you never want to wish precious time away, I wake up everyday yearning for retirement to get here. I have 5-6 more years to go and at thi... | |
| Used DACs for sale - help me choose Definitely Denafrips Ares II 12th. Nothing I have owned comes close. I have had Schiit Bifrost 2, NuPrime DAC9-SE, Parasound ZDAC V2. The Denafrips has a sense of realism and a 3D like soundstage unlike no other DAC I have heard. Not taking anythi... | |
| What's your experience with snooty HiFi salesmen? @curiousjim that's awesome! We're pretty fortunate to have 3 local very down to Earth and very accommodating shops with true customer service reps. I'm not surprised as every time I have been to AV Therapy they make you feel comfortable the minute... | |
| What's your experience with snooty HiFi salesmen? @oddiofyl been to all 3 of those myself and agree they have all been very down to Earth and friendly. In fact I just bought my Revel’s at Natural Sound back in October. Even though I could have received an extra 10% going online (and gotten them ... |
