| ARC Ref 5se inferior to LS28? “I will say, it is 90% of the REF6 that replaced it in my system”+1, @docknow. I purchased LS28 after auditioning both at my dealer. And I didn’t think the subtle improvements I heard with Ref6 were worth twice the price. Having said that, if Ref6... | |

| Recommendations for music network player @pophaudio,Aurender N100H is a very nice streamer but restricted to USB output. There are plenty of threads on Aurender N100 and DAC recommendations that gels quite well with N100H, I suggest you do some reading before you buy N100. You will neve... | |
| Mcintosh 402 Amp in protection mode @bulldog90,Congrats on a wonderful system. What preamp you’re using? I used to own C2500 pre that has Output 1 and 2 buttons on front panels. Depending on which output your amp connected to, one of them needs to be ON (Red LED) for sound output. A... | |
| Recommendations for music network player Try auditioning Bluesound Vault 2, very versatile and amazing sound given its asking price. You also get a DAC onboard that decodes MQA** files as a bonus. **For MQA playback, you would need a subscription to Tidal. And if cost no object and you’r... | |
| ROON help needed Tidal in its native form sounds amazing, applying DSP settings is like compensating for deficiencies in your listening environment / faulty component or simply a matter of personal preference. I like simplicity, plug n play. | |
| Les Davis 3D-2 CLD discs @nonoise,Thank you for the Elizabethan recommendation. @folkfreak,‘Life in a Paper Boat’ gave me goose bumps....Kate Rusty voice is very soulful, she reminds me of Agnes Obel. Give it a listen to her Philharmonics album, I think you will enjoy it.... | |
| Les Davis 3D-2 CLD discs @nonoise,Thanks for sharing. Looks quite promising from what I read so far on viscoelastic material used in these discs. Your observation is spot on with the use of these discs in your setup. One of the study shows this material helps in dissipati... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? “Well, folks, I finally tried such and such and it actually made quite a nice change to the sound. I admit I was wrong.” Geoff, spot on bud! Nice reference to 12 Angry Men, great movie 👍 | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? LMAO 😆.....only a lunatic (not even a skeptic) needs to try a tweak 20 times to conclude its effectiveness. If you can keep up with the count, you earned yourself that liquid-metal filled goop egg Interconnect Cable. Keep it, try it in your system... | |
| Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers mac48025, keep us posted. I simply love GAIA I’s under my 800D2’s. I am currently using HRS Nimbus couplers and very happy with them but keep thinking to try Iso-Pucks 😉 | |
| GutWire Ultimate Grounding Cable OP, I am looking forward to your review. The only downside I see with this solution is running out of wall outlets, should you choose to add grounding to rest of the components. That’s one of the reason I chose Nordost QRT components with QKORE6 f... | |
| ROON help needed FWIW, I am managing 2 TB of ripped music from CD’s including high Rez downloads (HD Tracks) through BLUOS app with ease. No issues with sorting or searching music, artist and albums. Vault 2 app allows me to browse music from HDTracks and download... | |
| ROON help needed Roon is not for everyone, especially if you don’t intend to use or keep PC running which is a must for Roon core to work properly. I use Tidal via Aurender and Blue Sound apps and don’t miss using Roon at all. I found Roon quite cumbersome to use ... | |
| Solid state DAC under 12K retail preferably with ethernet @drstarbug32,That makes sense. Glad to hear you’re enjoying the M1/Ethernet. One certainly can’t overlook the convenience of one box solution. Looks like that’s the latest industry trend as we see more and more DAC’s are now adding network interfa... |
