| Speaker cable recommendations I just installed Zafino Nova OCC cables $390 for 2.5m pair - they are the best I've heard in my system thus far, and way better than the Nordost's I have used in the past at double the cost. I also added their Fusion interconnects, really nice. (p... | |
| REL speakon connection to amp vs speakers PS. I know this wasn’t your question but it took me a while to figure this out so FWIW... IMO integrating the subs with the mains works best with the subs on either side of the mains, phase set to 0. Start with the crossover set roughly 5-10 hz ... | |
| REL speakon connection to amp vs speakers I have also have pair of T/9x's and contrary to the above, I use the sub-out connections from my integrated tube amp to the RELs, RCA to RCA (low input not LFE .1) I've done it both ways and prefer using RCA interconnects for stereo. I also have... | |
| A free tweak revisited same hear | |
| New Cartridge or New Preamp I went from an Ortofon 2m Bronze and a cheap Pro-Ject external tube phono-stage with upgraded tubes, to a Hana ML ($1200) and a GoldNote PS 10 with the PSU 10 external linear power supply ($3200 for both) and it really was a massive (and necessary... | |
| Cambridge CXN V2 or Innuos Pulse Mini? @vthokie83 me too, PSU+LPS | |
| Cambridge CXN V2 or Innuos Pulse Mini? @vthokie83 I read your post last night from my phone, and coincidently Alvin emailed me 5 minutes after your post to confirm the kit does fit the current (N130) Node. (I just clicked the link you posted and there are options to select the Node mod... | |
| Cambridge CXN V2 or Innuos Pulse Mini? but what? | |
| Cambridge CXN V2 or Innuos Pulse Mini? thx Peter! | |
| Cambridge CXN V2 or Innuos Pulse Mini? @curiousjim Me too, Black Ice DAC but COAX - Analysis Plus Digital Crystal | |
| Cambridge CXN V2 or Innuos Pulse Mini? @drmuso I’m not familiar with the components you have, so I can’t really judge if the Node is actually the weakest link. An honest statement - but to put in perspective, the Node is 1.5% of the total investment. (I realize cost isn't everythi... | |
| Cambridge CXN V2 or Innuos Pulse Mini? @drmuso I understand your perspective. Check out my virtual system - I think you will agree the Node is the weak link. Should I spend $1200 on a new streamer or an external DAC to enhance my $500 digital investment (not including interconnects) is... | |
| Cambridge CXN V2 or Innuos Pulse Mini? well that's disappointing... | |
| Cambridge CXN V2 or Innuos Pulse Mini? @soix it does help thank you @mazian thank you Based on the feedback I’m leaning towards adding an external DAC and staying with the BlueOS app. I’m looking at the CA DACMagic 200 ($500) with a 60 in home trial OR the DENAFRIPS ARES 12TH anniv.... | |
| New Rel Carbon Special Sub “Roars” when there is no signal! I have a pair of REL and had a similar issue using the speakon hi-level connectors. Floating the ground did not solve the problem. Trimming the cables helped a lot, but ultimately I connected both red and yellow wires to the red section of the ... |
