| Duelund speaker cable @antonioes I'm unsure what you mean by "braided". Unlike the other gauges, the 10GA does not appear to be available in the "dual" configuration. For each speaker I have two lengths of 10GA bound together lightly with cloth insulating tape - th... | |
| Duelund speaker cable Hi @antoniones Yes. I tried tri-wiring my ATC SCM40s. 12GA to the woofers and 16GA to the mids and tweeters. It didn't sound so great. I think a few others have also had disappointing results doing this. I have now the 10GA single wired, and i... | |
| Qobuz Connect Launched Yesterday Going back to my previous comment about many albums simply throwing errors when kicked off from both Android and Windows apps, it is (bizarrely) only those albums which are 16-bit which immediately fail. Every single one. Whereas every albums at... | |
| Qobuz Connect Launched Yesterday One unexpected benefit, for those households out there which have a family Qobuz account, is that each member can easily stream from their Favourites, as opposed to the Sense app which only permits a single Qobuz account. Saying that, I've found ... | |
| Qobuz Connect Launched Yesterday My Zenith Mk3 here in the UK updated this evening to version 3.3.0, and with it, apparently, is Qobuz Connect. It seems that in both my Qobuz Windows desktop app plus my Android app I can see and select my Zenith as the output - as opposed to a... | |
| Stack Audio Auva Isolator I now have the Auva 70s under my ATC SCM40s (passive). They replace Gaia IIIs and IIs (III at rear, II at front due to front-loaded weight of drivers). For the record I have them on laminate-covered concrete ground floor. I've added some decent... | |
| Stack Audio Auva Isolator @painter24 Thanks for the reply. Like the reckless fool I am I've gone and placed an order for the 70s. I'm currently using Gaias. If you get back to me when you're close to pulling the trigger I can let you know my impressions | |
| Stack Audio Auva Isolator Has anyone compared the auva 50s with the 70s? I have floor standing ATC SCM40 speakers on tile covered concrete floor | |
| Stack Audio Auva Isolator I'm also thinking of replacing the Gaias under my ATC SCM40s with auva. @painter24 , based on your earlier comments it seems you have the same speakers as me. Did you end up putting auvas under them ? | |
| For Gustard R26...which bang for the buck: DDC or LHY OCK clock? For those who use the OCK-2 for their R26 (or any of the other Gustard DACs) is there any preference for the square or the sine output? | |
| Gustard R26 - good but not the one @uncle_monkey good luck if you take that punt. Here are some notes on clocking Square wave is the best if done well, though sine is better than mediocre square Square requires that impedances match for the source and destination sockets, as w... | |
| Gustard R26 - good but not the one I have an R26. Out of the box it was clearly superior to the Denafrips Pontus II 12th it replaced. I haven't read the entire thread here, so unsure whether external clocking has been mentioned, but what the R26 offers over very few other DACs is... | |
| QSA wall plates? It’s been a long time since I posted my original query. Here I am years later with a drink in my hand stumbling across it. So, for the sake of completeness, and for future generations and civilisations who might wonder also about the benefits of ... | |
| Streaming with the Hegel H390 I also have the H390 and used the USB input from my Innuos Zenith/PhoenixUSB source quite happily for a year or so. However, I had the itch to upgrade, so took a risk on the Denafrips Pontus 12th DAC, plus Cardas Clear Reflection XLR and an old E... | |
