| Long Run of Speaker Cabling A couple of suggestions: AudioQuest Rocket 88 Speaker Cable - 20 Foot, Bi-Wire, Pair The best Anticables bi-wire you can afford kn | |
| Streamer Options Needed If you try the Node, an external power supply definitely improves the performance of streaming to an external DAC. I have found the improvement to be greater than adding an external supply to any of the DACs I have used. kn | |
| Cable Break In for the Naysayers Yes, I have sometimes had to break in used cables. | |
| Do Audiophiles usually keep the gain of the digital source at around 80%? Yes to trying RCAs in place of XLRs and bypassing the volume control on the Eversolo to see if that helps. Also wondering if there is an impedance mismatch between your preamp and your amplifier. The problem sounds like it might be more involved... | |
| Streamer Options Needed Plus one for Volumio products. Look into the Rivo Plus with an external linear power supply from Teddy Pardo or similar (Volumio is not shipping their Lineo5 PS to the US currently - likely a victim of tarriffs). At about two grand, very good pe... | |
| I can't believe I found one My first system - and yes, mine also came equipped with a built in 8-track tape player. I played the s__t out of that thing - ceramic stylus and all. My copies of “Let it Bleed”, “Exile on Main St.” and “McCartney” still bear the marks, as do m... | |
| Need Ideas on speaker cables Plus one for shorter speaker cables due to lower coloration on sound and lower price, if you can pull it off logistically. Also plus one for Anticables Level 4.2 cables for the reasons given in post above. Some other considerations: AudiQuest Ro... | |
| Power supply poll for Chord Qutest Update - I purchased a Teddy Pardo dual 5V supply that runs both my Qutest and Bluesound Node N130 (with converter kit). Sounds great. Especially big improvement for the Node. kn | |
| So, “Audio Science Review” really doesn’t like this video @curiousjim ” Kinda a letdown after the huge difference with the Gaia’s.” That has been my experience in general with isolation products and Isoacoustics in particular. So far speakers and turntables benefit most obviously. I tried some Oreas u... | |
| So, “Audio Science Review” really doesn’t like this video @curiousjim update - ASR deleted the thread I started and appended the discussion onto an older ASR thread on Isoacoustics products initiated in December. While the only message I got from ASR was that my thread was no longer available, I later f... | |

| So, “Audio Science Review” really doesn’t like this video @mapman that’s OK, Mark might not be for everyone. I just thought the way he and his associate did the ABX test with control was unusually well executed. That and I like my humor very dry. Plus his results hint that phenomena like human experience... | |
| The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype @mihorn on my phone speakers the iTunes version of Van Halen sounds considerably better, fwiw. kn | |
| HAVE CABLES EVER TAKEN YOUR SYSTEM FROM SOUNDING JUST OK TO SOUNDING GREAT? Experiences ? Another recent experience that maybe just took my system sound from pretty good to considerably better was adding Anticables Level 7.3 RCA interconnects between my DAC and amp. I have used a lot of different RCA cables in this application and thi... |
