| What type of wire for dedicated 20A AC lines? FWIW, the 10 gauge dedicated orange romex line purchased at Home Depot and run from a 20 amp breaker to a 20 amp medical grade outlet sounds better with my gear plugged into it than the 12 gauge non-dedicated line right next to it on the wall with... | |
| Single band, tri-band or quad-band mesh for streamer Thanks all for your feedback. I was looking at the Asus xt8 system. If I get three units I can have one on each floor of my home and serve our main floor office and TV and streamer upstairs and the music and video streamers associated with my ma... | |
| Single band, tri-band or quad-band mesh for streamer Sorry, let me provide more context. I am setting up a streamer in my main system for the first time. Whatever streamer I choose is likely to require an ethernet connection to access the Internet. I have several choices to accomplish that: 1. s... | |
| Audiolab 6000N For what it’s worth, I bought an Audiolab 6000a for a family member to replace an NAD 3045 D and the Audiolab sounds much better in their space with some older Wharfdale Diamond speakers just streaming with aptX from an iPhone or Computer. The DA... | |
| Best power cord for a preamp? Try this. I build my own cables and have had difficulty beating performance of this for just the price of materials. Using one of these on my tube phono pre. Super clear, great bass. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisagjeg-stealth-powe... | |
| Rega Brio integrated - buzzzzz Not the first complaint on here about buzzing Brio. I have a last generation Brio R that sounds great, no buzz from speakers, but it’s on a power conditioner. Perhaps that helps. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/buzz-from-the-left-chann... | |
| How Much Do Your Subwoofer(s) Cost Relative to Speakers Good bass is expensive. While you can buy a modest set of new monitors today for $500 to $1,000 that don’t absolutely suck and can give you plenty of hi fi enjoyment with decent electronics ahead if them, the same cannot be said for a subwoofer. ... | |
| Need some Cart recommendations, $300 - $700 (New/Used) range…warm, full, yet great def. Fwiw, I have a similar sound preferences and can speak to many of the carts OP mentioned. I have an old Thorens TD 150MkII, so similar sprung table with a mid weight arm. I Have owned: Grado Prestige Black - fun, warm, rubs off a lot of defects ... | |
| Speaker matching for Audiolab 6000A @fredcdobbs yes looking at Dynaudio Evokes. Thanks. @Nonoise - thanks, on it. I don’t know if YouTube reviewer Terry Ellis is a shill for IMG products in general but he really liked the 6000A and actually bought the EVO 4.2’s recommended above. | |
| Speaker matching for Audiolab 6000A @akg_ca got it, no to EVO 4.1 @hoytis ProAc huh. Nice speakers. Not my money. Worth making the suggestion. | |
| Speaker matching for Audiolab 6000A Thanks @akg_ca for the Wharfedale recommendation. These are interesting possible choice. A bit over budget - any insight into the EVO 4.1 as an alternative? | |
| Speaker matching for Audiolab 6000A Thanks for all the suggestions, helpful. These are not to setup with the rig on my system page. This is for a family member who has their system in a smallish sunroom that is partially open to their living room. They currently use this system for... | |
| HELP! I bought equipment drunk, don’t know anything. I think at this point we should all get drunk and give the OP some advice about cables. | |
| Schiit Mani 2 I have no experience with the Mani 1. But I bought a Mani 2 for a family member as an upgrade to the built in phono pre on an Audiolab 6000A integrated. Trying it in my own system with an AudioTechnica AT 150Sa MM cartridge and the Mani 2 totall... | |
| Best bang for buck integrated amp for $500 @seanheis1 I realize this is a latent thread, but I would like to offer an opinion on the Rega R for the record. I owned a couple of the small amps you list above - the Rega Brio R and the Audioengine N22, plus the NAD D 3045. I generally agree ... |
