| Great Qobuz streamer. Upgrade from Bluesound Node 2 Iam in the same boat as well. Using Windows 10 system with JPlay+Fidelizer feeding Chord Qutest DAC. Will I get sonic benefits if I move the source from laptop to Bluesound node 2i. | |
| Hydra 4 with Taipan Alpha - reduced dynamics and slam Thanks, I would give it some time. Will Taipan alpha non-helix would be the culprit, though I dont think it would be such a bad cable.Also, I have my laptop, which is the audio source, plugged in To hydra. | |
| warm digital cable I was looking for non-bright sounding digital cable. Bought Blackcat Veloce based on reviews. It did not dissapoint. Veloce is a very quiet cable. Excellent detail and dynamics. My only dislike is it sounds a bit thin in the midrange. So Iam looki... | |
| Acoustic Zen Absolute or Audience Au24e? Latinsamba1, Iam exactly in the same situation as you are. I have all AZ cables (Silver, MAtrix and then Shotgun on the speakers). Iam thinking of Au24e too. You said you have changed the cables. Which one you changed, all the cables or ICs or spe... | |
| PS Audio AC-5 question Had a few days off from my listening sessions while the cables continued to burn in. They are well over their burn-in period. Now the whole gear sounds just amazing. As a final tweak, I moved AC-12 to the quintet and AC-10 to the amp. I started to... | |
| PS Audio AC-5 question Exactly, the improvement AC-12 gives is exponentially more than AC-10.At 288 hrs, the sound stage has greatly opened up, detail retrieval is excellent. Overall the music is smooth and revealing. Is just amazing. Not sure if there is more breakin t... | |
| PS Audio AC-5 question Have not tried the Caig G5 yet. Waiting for the burn-in to be done. Have to clean all the power cords and ICs, may be the fuses too. May have to toe-in the speakers a bit as the sound stage has widened. | |
| PS Audio AC-5 question My Quintet is fully burned in. At around 170 hrs on AC-12, the way the sound opened up was just amazing!. As you said, more details and more sweetness (don't know what it is!) to music. The dynamics and realism has returned in a much better way. O... | |
| PS Audio AC-5 question good to hear about your AC-12. I just picked a Caig DeoxIT Gold G5 spray. Not sure how to use it. Can I spray directly on the connectors?. Should I wipe off with cotton swap or leave it to dry. Can I use it on the inner side on the ICs?. | |
| PS Audio AC-5 question Quintet has got 275 hrs and AC-12 has got 145hrs. The sound is nicely opening up. Somehow, the touch of realism on instruments is missing. Hopefully is comes out. Jdub, hows you AC-12 opening up the system. | |
| PS Audio AC-5 question I picked them from music direct for 50% off. Got good deal on Quintet at Decibel Audio. | |
| PS Audio AC-5 question I considering Soloist Premier too. But not sure how easy is the installation. So tomorrow will be 125 hrs for AC-12, should smooth out by then.Yes the fuses were Hifi gold fuses. They did create a black background and improved mid bass. But colore... | |
| PS Audio AC-5 question At around 96 hrs, AC-12 infuses very high brightness to the system, hopefully it cools down. | |
| PS Audio AC-5 question I have put my AC-12 on the amp. Quintet is still burning, so there are 2 moving parts. Still I get chills with AC-12 at times. There is much more details and lot of micro dynamics and many earlier unheard of dynamics from familiar recordings. Like... | |
| PS Audio AC-5 question jdub, did you put the AC-12 on the power conditioner or the amp. Mine is on the amp. As both Quintet and Ac-12 are burning it, my system shows too many variations. |
