| Do speaker wires matter OP, what did your system sound like with your previous speaker cables?You do have an amp/speaker mismatch but I'm curious. | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? I know one reason the Node2i may not measure up to other streamers: the power supply. It is a small SMPS. That's why there are upgrade kits being sold which are more robust and use a linear PS. Even with the stock PS, a higher quality power cord i... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? How to Bypass Node 2i?”Bluesound should give an option to omit DAC. To bypass the Node internal DAC, simply use a digital coax cable from Node to external Dac. Select Dac as your source on the preamp/amp. You're not bypassing the Node, that's the ... | |
| Tim deParavicini has passed away Very sad news, I knew he was sick. His designs make beautiful music, I owned an EAR power amp.I wonder what will become of EAR Yoshino. Tim supplied gear for many recording studios in the UK.Little known fact; he helped Bob Carver design the first... | |
| Using 200w amp with 300w rms speaker The recommended power for the CM10 is 50-300 watts with 8 ohm impedance. Sensitivity is 90dB, although independent measurements reveal a sensitivity of 88.5dB. Your amp is very capable of driving these speakers.I couldn’t find the impedance curve ... | |
| Isolation Feet Upgrade @goofyfoot I listen to mainly classical as well; symphonic, quartets, quintet's, trios.The price of the EVP's is there somewhere, I think it's $45 each. I'm using 3 under my preamp and will buy another set soon. I've replaced all my Herbies Tender... | |
| Isolation Feet Upgrade Hi @goofyfoot , hope all is well. I agree with your plan, add the Cullen first. I have 3 Crossfires in my system now plus a Cullen C7 for my Node2i. All present open sonics with very good low-end performance. | |
| Isolation Feet Upgrade Herbies Tenderfeet provide warmth (which I consider colouring the sound) and they also rob the component of deep bass extension and slam.I use DH Cones for isolation. They're placed under the component chassis and require some type of platform or ... | |
| Isolation Feet Upgrade Highly recommend the Crossover II. The combination of silver and copper provides neutral to warm sonics with detail, realism, and a good low-end. | |
| Question about Teddy Pardo PSU for my DAC @paulcreed You have an internal PS? Did you have to modify your unit? | |
| Question about Teddy Pardo PSU for my DAC Doesn’t your ANK have a power supply with tube rectification and regulation? Would an external PS be an upgrade over the stock PS? I have an upgraded PS in my AN preamp and it’s inside the box. | |
| Noise Goblin The audio circuit should be on the opposite leg in the box from any motors. Washer, fridge, garage door, hair dryer etc.Have you checked the service panel? If audio is on the A leg, then the hair dryer circuit should be on the B leg. They should a... | |
| solid state power amps Transformer hum. Could be the transformer needs to be tightened. Or could be a design flaw where the transformer vibrates in its mounting or to the chassis.Or as stated could be that DC has contaminated your AC line.Is this a low-level hum? | |
| Power strips- too many choices Agree with jjss49. Decide if you want power conditioning or filtering in the strip. If so, the Furman power stations are good performers with minor power conditioning plus surge protection.If all you need is a strip for distribution, then Wiremold... | |
| Question About iFi AUDIO iSilencer+ So, if I use the iSilencer + on an external hard drive that sends a music stream into the computer, will I notice the filtering and gain an improvement in sound quality through my streamer? You should use the iFi on the output of the computer. Noi... |
