| Eversolo DMP 8 audition going poorly... @balooo2 I had both Tidal HiFi and Qobuz for a year and preferred Qobuz. Like I said, once I turned off all processing the sound livened up a lot. i also tried the A8 as a streamer with my DAC and thought it sounded pretty good but not good enoug... | |
| Eversolo DMP 8 audition going poorly... @1happyman @dandion UPDATE: I kept at it and tried a few CD quality tracks as I had up to this point only streamed Qobuz Hi Res. CD quality on the A8 sounds very good side by side. So I went back to Hi Res and sure enough, lower gain and less s... | |
| Tone arm length @billstevenson Interesting and thank you for sharing the insight. By any chance did you ever hop on the ferry over to Victoria and if so, did you visit Sound Hounds? Interested in selling one of those scopes??? btw I've bought the TT with th... | |
| Eversolo DMP 8 audition going poorly... PS. I really enjoy SXM radio for background music and this is missing on the A8 (which I knew in advance, and yes, I know I can stream it from my phone). I did try Paradise Radio on the A8 and it doesn't sound as good as SXM from the N130. | |
| Eversolo DMP 8 audition going poorly... @doni Or, give it a bit more time to settle in. Eight hours ain't much! I left it playing overnight and today. No change. All cables are well broken-in. | |
| Eversolo DMP 8 audition going poorly... @1happyman @dandion I have a Puron and an Equi=Core 2400 in the power supply chain and a SmoothLan ethernet filter (Stack Audio). I am a/b testing against a BlueSound Node N130 with LHY LPS and a BlackIce tube DAC with NOS Mullards. (exactly the... | |
| Tone arm length @elliottbnewcombjr Thanks for the extra info - I’ve checked out your 3 arm TT before - very cool. I'm going with the 12" and the dealer will set it up for me. | |
| Tone arm length @mbi Go Big or Go Home Ha! The price difference is less than $500 so why not. The only negative the dealer pointed out was the additional over hang when not in use. He said most leave with the 12". The Smart Power 24v will have to wait th... | |
| Tone arm length @yoyoyaya thank you | |
| Tone arm length @yoyoyaya thanks for the feedback. The professional power supply is only compatible with concept and performance TT according to their website. im curious how the PS improves sound if TT speed is optically controlled and the motor is decoupled fr... | |
| Tone arm length @mikelavigne Thank you for the thoughtful insight. That makes a lot of sense. What little I know about this, the benefits of the longer arm (#3) apply mostly to the inner grooves. | |
| Acoustic treatment ideas @ghdprentice I would if I could. The house is rented (we have no intention to stay / buy in California) TV is only 10in from the ceiling, fireplace to the left, patio doors on the right, and the only outlet on the 40ft wide rear "wall" is behind ... | |
| Speaker Cables For $300 +1 @soix OP Jump on them, TMR is great in case you have not done business with them before. | |
| Speaker Cables For $300 I’d say these are something special but a bit more than double your budget but less than the Shotgun’s and I didn’t see where you needed biwired AZ Hologram | |
| How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound? @lubbertp Remeber, a $50k system sounds crapy in a room with bad accoustics Gotta love sweeping generalizations and a random number generator. Many of us don’t have dedicated rooms, but instead have challenging spaces like large open floor pl... |
