| Speaker cable advice The sound signature of a cable depends on more than just its conductor. | |
| Decent 25' Cable +3 for Canare 4S11. Neutral, presents music accurately, and built for long runs.Blue Jean's uses Belden cable, nothing wrong with it. They also sell Canare and you choose the type of termination. | |
| Help with Shortlist of Speakers! (SF vs Devore vs Others?) What's the distance of your listening position? John Devore recommends sitting 8' away from the O line speakers to hear all they offer.Consider auditioning the Devore Gibbons, they're neutral-warm with huge soundstaging and depth. Less lively than... | |
| CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality I agree that a streaming setup will never have optimal SQ until RFI/EMI is lowered or eliminated. The coax cable coming into the house carries with it high levels of RFI, then plugs into a modem/router which generates RFI/EMI to the audio system.A... | |
| Can we talk about Qobuz for a minute The streaming services are at the mercy of the record label or artist as to which albums they receive. | |
| Can we talk about Qobuz for a minute I listen to mainly classical, so I find the selection and quality of Qobuz to be excellent. Every day there are new albums added.Here's the downside of streaming, we don't choose which version of an album release is available by each service. This... | |

| Can we talk about Qobuz for a minute I wish there was a LIKE button @jrw1971.I don't understand why so many users are experiencing Qobuz drops. Would extending the router range help? | |
| B&W speakers sounding very harsh? First step is to use only the front speakers and sit in your listening position. You can't troubleshoot with every speaker and component playing. The B&W 702s will need some run-in time, you should ask the dealer how many hours. Probably a min... | |
| Can we talk about Qobuz for a minute When I started streaming a couple of years ago I did the trial for both Tidal and Qobuz. Qobuz was sounding better. After some critical listening, I was sure Qobuz had superior SQ. I started to think that there was some compression applied by Tida... | |
| Can a power surge cause amp to clip? Don't you have to be playing something to clip? Yes. The OP is most likely using the wrong terminology.(Unless he plays music all night long). | |
| Which would you buy & why? There's more to it than using a low power amp and listening at low volume. The 20wpc has to be able to drive the speaker at low impedance. You may end up not hearing any bass at your low volume listening.Need to know what the speakers are before c... | |
| POWER CABLE FEATURES +1 @pauly It's been my experience, the better the equipment, room acoustics, component's power supply and everything else involved; the more obvious an upgrade in house wiring, cables or interconnects will appear.+1 @rodman99999 The more revealing... | |
| System forclassical music I have a season ticket package for the orchestra and it's true we don't get the magnitude of bass that audiophiles expect. But there are the passages performed by tympani which at times can sound like rolling thunder (high school tympanist here). ... | |
| my cd transport hungry for new music ? Since it has a tray transport, you should be able to remove the top of the unit. See where the disc is. |
