| Newbie needs Streamer Advise Cause analogs outs from Node 2 will allow you to hear best of both worlds, 16bit/44.1kHz and 24bit/192kHz (MQA). The Node 2 internal DAC and RP-1’s Tube output stage is more than capable of ringing all the fine nuances in high resolution/ redbook ... | |
| Newbie needs Streamer Advise Another vote for Bluesound Node2. Use its analog RCA outputs into your Rogue RP1, I think you would appreciate the audio and ease of operation. I am listening to Vault 2 (analog outputs) through my LS28 and it’s very gratifying.And I agree with Ma... | |
| iFi AC iPurifier @twoleftears,After spending a weekend with iFi AC iPurifier, I didn’t hear any ‘upgrade’ in terms of lower noise floor in my audio system. The test was conducted with iPurifier plugged into same wall outlet as my QRT system including QBASE8 - MKII... | |
| Class D options Another vote for Bel Canto Ref600M. I would steer clear of any UcD Hypex module build amp, especially if you plan to pair them with Ref10. I have heard Mola Mola Kaluga’s and they are quite amazing. You should also consider Merrill’s Veritas mono’s. | |
| Looking for a Thin Lightweight PowerCord for Digital Check out Audience Au24 SE - LP or MP PC, neutral, detailed and very flexible. If you into DIY, I would look into Furutech FP-S022N (14AWG) with Furutech connectors. Chris at VH Audio is a great resource, should you have any questions. Good luck! | |
| Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality? willemj said: My time is too expensive to waste. Yet, you keep showing up here with posts that adds nothing to the discussion other than your biased opinion 😉 | |
| Racks made of wood Another recommendation for Core Audio Designs - PlyKraft component racks. The racks are quite stunning (I own two PlyKraft 4L’s in bubinga finish), rigid, high mass and shelves are pre loaded with damping materials. Arnold is a great guy, he will ... | |
| GutWire Ultimate Grounding Cable Dave,I have tried doubling up on component grounding with my Nordost QKORE6 which resulted in reduced effectiveness, especially in upper frequencies. It will be interesting to know if UG cable can be as effective on multiple components as it is on... | |
| Ethernet Cable @joecasey,Ethernet cable is probably the most controversial cable in HiFi. Many here (cable naysayers) chime in shortly stating off the shelf Belkin cable is just as good as AQ Vodka....it’s digital bits, 1’s and 0’s blah blah. My personal favorit... | |
| Pass Labs “House Sound” vs. McIntosh “House Sound” As @ebm pointed out they both has different ‘house’ sound. If you’re looking for a departure from tubes, XP-20 is a great choice. I would also consider audiotioning BHK Signature Preamplifier. One word of caution, I wouldn’t get rid of C-2500 unti... | |
| Pass Labs “House Sound” vs. McIntosh “House Sound” It would be helpful to know your rest of the setup, especially amp and speakers you plan to mate with XP-20. | |
| How To Properly Bi-Amp (Sonic Frontiers Line 2 to Two Amps to power Infinity Kappa 9's) @brettmcee,Use the multiple outputs of your preamp, that’s what they design for. In most cases, vertical biamping gives your the best possible results i.e. using one stereo amp per speaker. If you choose to use two seperate brand amps, external cr... | |
| Review Audioquest Hurricane (part 1) “Most audio shows proof that the people who give these demoes have no F. idea how music and voices and instruments should sound and how big they are In proportion”So why don’t you visit these shows and enlighten them with your genius and Tru-Fi sy... | |
| Grounding blocks, boxes and cables, what are you using? I am using Nordost QKORE6 for the entire system along with QB8 and QX4....couldn’t be any happier with the results. | |
| Usability Issues with Tidal No issues with Tidal service...whatsoever. And yes, Tidal Hi-Fi is worth every penny, IMHO. |
