| Equi=Core Hum & Other Issues @jea48 Yes Jim, I see now that it's a cable. But isn't that a vertical conduit that is attached to the box near the roof? It's fastened to the wall by brackets and ends where the cable turns and travels to the meter?I have a 2nd contractor coming... | |

| XLR adaptor advice Once you install an unbalanced interconnect, the pathway is no longer balanced. An RCA to XLR adapter will not be converted to a balanced signal.A IsoMax transformer will accept RCA input and convert it to balanced. The outputs are XLR. https://w... | |
| External DAC connection for Bluesound Node 2i (after "Another streaming newbie" thread) Cat, I'm using the Cullen C7. You will notice a difference. Allow a couple of days for breakin.-----------------Musical Paradise looks very cool. And swapping components is an interesting concept. | |
| Soundstage Width and Depth @simao ...Oh, thanks. That makes sense in the context of this thread. I was thinking that somehow a decibel meter would be used. That's dB-A, for A weighted measurement.Thanks for straight dope. | |
| External DAC connection for Bluesound Node 2i (after "Another streaming newbie" thread) Cables I've owned:Acoustic Zen Absolute 75, Oyaide DB-510 Digital BNC were both very good. Many folks here like Black Cat. I've found you have to spend some money to get major improvement with digital cables. OTOH, you don't have to spend a lot on... | |

| Soundstage Width and Depth Excellent answer by @millercarbon. dBA? A-weighted measurement?Also agree with @twoleftears regarding speaker design.With a combination of specific tubes in my amp, I'm able to achieve a 3D image that centers around the middle of the speakers, pro... | |
| Audiophile Albums....Yes indeed Why are these derogatory political references allowed to continue on this forum? They should be flagged.“NPC” stands for “Non-playable character”, a phrase taken from video games referring to any figure a gamer encounters while roaming a digital ... | |
| Most Musical 6NS7 tube for a Preamp? I love my Audio Note linestage. It’s a M2 Special, which I’m told was a custom order from the factory. A used M2 would cost $3000 or less. Audio Note products are built to last a lifetime with regular maintenance and upgrades. Mine is 15 years old... | |
| Bi amping question The tone sounds different because you're probably doubling the signal to each speaker. Are you only using the preamp out of the Pioneer and is it set for 2 channel stereo? | |
| Bi amping question Need to know how the amps are connected to speakers.Is it like the above diagram? Or does one amp feed the upper drivers and the 2nd amp feed the bottom drivers? See diagram...https://www.listeningpost.co.nz/News-Tips/Glossary/Listening-Post-Gloss... | |
