| Do I need a new DAC/streamer. Considering? I recommend Aurender N100C, that would pair well with your C53’s internal DAC. Aurender’s Conductor app is also excellent. It would be a worthy upgrade over Node 2i. | |
| Are Japanese SHM-CD pressings worth the price difference? @hiendmmoe,I bought few and did not hear any uptick in SQ over their regular CD counterparts. So, IMO they are not worth their asking price. OTH, I highly recommend K2HD mastered XRCD24 or UHQCD’s. My go to source for these wonderful sounding disc... | |
| One Cord To Rule Them All “Once someone introduced to me the concept of power cord being an extension of the component’s power supply, the first few feet, not the last, it was much easier for me to explain rationally what I was hearing.”@thyname, Exactly! I always believed... | |
| New silversmith fidelium cable This goes to show Cables makes a difference. I am going through a similar experience where my new cables have shown another dimension of my system. When everything snaps together as a ‘whole’ you can’t help feel ecstatic about the choices you’ve h... | |
| AGD Audion GaN Class D In The House “I would say that the AGD is closer to the sound of the Wavac than the Pass or LM.”@rh67,I hear your sentiments and that’s saying a lot about AGD amps. I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying these amps so much. I would like to know rest of your system, ... | |
| AGD Audion GaN Class D In The House I’ve heard AGD Audion amps with Sigma Acoustics speakers, no doubt they were clearly the best class D sound I’ve heard so far but let’s not get carried away. For me, Class A or SET amps are the way to go as long as own high efficiency speakers. | |
| Say a fella wants to build an SET monoblock based on the 300B.. Reach out to Aric at Aric Audio. https://aricaudio.com/tube_gear.php | |
| Vinyl Accessories - Skip It or Buy It! Agree with @lewm ...even the new LP’s have dust particles. Most of the LP’s are shipped in cheap paper sleeves. Remember, Vinyl manufacturing plants are nowhere near the standards of CDC Labs :-) I have gotten into the ritual of cleaning new LP’s ... | |
| Audiophile router configuration Wired Ethernet is the way to go if you are serious about enjoying high quality streaming! Here is a recent discussion on getting the best out of your router, https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/pimping-your-router | |
| New silversmith fidelium cable @jmbumgarner01, I have used these with flat speaker cables in the past. If they interests you, keep an eye on them. They are currently sold out but he often re-stocks them. https://www.reddragonaudio.com/products/esd-xl-cable-elevators?variant=209... | |
| One Cord To Rule Them All @koestner There you go! I forget to mention the 45 days trial. I have invested over $5K in AE cords and yet to return a single cord. | |
| One Cord To Rule Them All “ I was tempted to get the Audio Envy Mega 3, but this ongoing discussion has me undecided.”@koestner You came here to ask for opinions and you got exactly that! If you don’t think your audio system worth experimenting with a $300 power cord on a ... | |
| One Cord To Rule Them All @koestner I highly recommend VH Audio Flavor4 cord for $335 / delivered. I doubt you can do any better than this cord in your price range. https://www.vhaudio.com/flavor4.html | |
| Why get a separate DAC @novatt,The DAC in your Hegel H120 should sound better than the internal DAC in BluOS streamer. You may prefer the BluOS app interface better / versatile compare to Hegel. If you want to keep things simple, use Spotify Connect with Hegel and call ... | |
| Bluesound Node2i and wifi frustrations: Mesh! @musicfzn2349,That’s great to hear! Now sit back and enjoy the best of digital and analog :-) |
