| Node 2i performance suggestions pls Thanks @audiojedi . I ordered a CAT 8 based on @lalitk recommendation. You confirmed that shielding makes a significant improvement. | |
| Node 2i performance suggestions pls @lalitk , I ordered the Supra, thanks for the recommendation. Looking forward to hearing it. I expect to hear some good sound from that little Node.I'm using the Cullen C7 and a High Fidelity CT-2 S/PDIF coax to an Audio Note Dac. | |
| Node 2i performance suggestions pls @lalitk , you've got me intrigued with CAT 8 Supra. And 4m is perfect for my needs. From the Audio Bacon review.. a smoother, fuller sound (Supra) | |
| Node 2i performance suggestions pls @audiojedi , I'm using CAT6. Would CAT8 be a noticable upgrade? Thanks. | |
| Node 2i performance suggestions pls Yes, C7 is the PC type. No IEC connector, it's called a figure 8.You probably know this, a good cable to the DAC is vital. I use SPDIF coax. | |
| Node 2i performance suggestions pls Sure thing @jetter . I'm currently using the Cullen C7; huge soundstage, very organic, good detail.I auditioned a Wireworld which was excellent. Very dynamic, detailed, with a more forward presentation. Now that my system has changed, I think I wi... | |
| Node 2i performance suggestions pls @jetter , I suggest you try a better cable than Pangea. I have 2 of them at the bottom of my closet. A good PC will really open up the Node. | |
| Node 2i performance suggestions pls I've been trying that as well.Adding an aftermarket power cord was a very noticeable upgrade. If it doesn't help, try a different brand. You need a C7 cable (aka figure 8). Wireworld and Cullen make good C7's.Using ethernet interface from the rout... | |
| 6922 Amperex PQ White label... D or O-getter? Holland or Hicksville? I can say for sure that the Holland 7308 Amperex PQ and Philips SQ have a fuller sound from top to bottom with deep liquid mids.Edit...very lively tubes. | |
| 6922 Amperex PQ White label... D or O-getter? Holland or Hicksville? @rodman99999 , I checked my records and the USN Amperex only have large O getters. I had a pair of USN 6922s and returned them since they didn’t have an extended low-end. They weren’t too warm; maybe it’s the higher voltage of the 7308 that adds t... | |
| 6922 Amperex PQ White label... D or O-getter? Holland or Hicksville? @tomcy6 , I think you're right about the Amperex Holland having the best midrange. And I've heard a difference between the small and large O-getters. I agree the D getter may add the warmth and richness.Since we were speaking only about Amperex, ... | |
| 6922 Amperex PQ White label... D or O-getter? Holland or Hicksville? @pmboyd , there is no diminished midrange in these tubes. It's the wonderful liquid mids of an Amperex tube.The 7308 presents a more powerful, deep low-end than the 6922/E88CC.Don't get me wrong, all the PQ tubes have great sonics. Much more real... | |
| High Fidelity Cables MC-0.5 Effect aseaman, this is normal. I'm going to take a guess and say that it's due to fluctuations in the line voltage to the home and from the service panel. There are variations in voltage level, noise level, distortions in the sine wave of the AC. The ma... | |
| 6922 Amperex PQ White label... D or O-getter? Holland or Hicksville? Wow @rodman99999 , that's the good stuff. These are mil spec matched with tight tolerances. | |
| 6922 Amperex PQ White label... D or O-getter? Holland or Hicksville? Oh yeah, D vs. O-getter. The D getter is in the earlier construction of these tubes and is said to be superior. I have D-getters since my tubes are from the 1950s, so I can't speak to the difference. The same can be said of small O getters vs. lar... |
