| Why so many AQ Hurricane PC's for sale? @vuch assuming your amps are true balanced there probably will be no difference between balanced cables. I run Cardas Clear XLR interconnects everywhere but between my balanced pre and power amps. Between the amps I use Mogami XLR. There is no ... | |
| Wireworld Platinum Starlight® 10 Twinax and AQ Diamond @audphile1 Very interesting. Seems your experience with Stealth is similar to mine, both with the cable and customer service. Fortunately I was able to get my cable repaired and returned to me. I too was considering their network cable but now ... | |
| Wireworld Platinum Starlight® 10 Twinax and AQ Diamond @audphile1 I’m also looking to upgrade my network cable and thinking about AQ Diamond, WW Starlight and Audience. I was surprised to read that you’re no longer using the Stealth USB and went back to Audience. Curious why? I also use the Stealth... | |
| Audience Front Row vs Cardas Clear I use Cardas Clear speaker cables in one system and Audience AU24 (the originals) in another. They’re both very good cable manufacturers. With Cardas, even their newer cables, the flavor will be a bit warmer than most cables, including Audience.... | |
| innuos pulse compared to denafrips gaia 12th Looks like my post crossed with TK in cyberspace. Good to know someone is listening. | |
| innuos pulse compared to denafrips gaia 12th This is a very bad look for the “new” Denafrips and their US representation. Maybe it’s indicative of what’s to come now that Vineshine is out of the picture. Regardless of how easy it may be to download the driver, it sure seems that they should... | |
| Would you buy a tube amp if you were unable to use vintage tubes in it ? The one thing the JJ’s are very good for is filling the spot when you ship for repair or to sell the gear. 👍👍👍 | |
| Aurender N20 versus Innuos Zen NG I own both Aurender and Innuos products and think both are outstanding. If you read enough forums you’ll undoubtedly find something bad being said about one or the other or both. My comment above was intended to be cute but after rereading it pr... | |
| Aurender N20 versus Innuos Zen NG After watching the YouTube video of their research and production facility and interviews with the founders I too am surprised to hear something negative about Innuos. But I guess looks can be deceiving. | |
| network switches and cables. @kennyc Network Acoustics seems to be one of the more respected brands. You mention the Muon and Ethernet filter. Did you mean NA switch and Muon filter? If yes, did you try other switches before NA and how did they perform? | |
| Aurender N20 versus Innuos Zen NG This is an interesting question. I have not compared the N20 to the NG but I did compare the N20 to the Innuos Pulsar. It was in a dealers showroom so the audition only lasted a couple of hours with components I really wasn’t that familiar with.... | |
| network switches and cables. Thanks again everyone for your contributions. As the saying goes, until you try it in your own system, you’ll not know what differences might await you. I think I’ll do a switch with a new “good” network cable between the switch and my streamer.... | |
| A Review of the Denafrips Pontus Gen 15 DAC @traubr Go figure indeed. Very interesting results you had. No doubt the Pontus 15th is an excellent player, particularly for the price. Are you using the Iris with your new Terminator? What streamer do you use? Is the Terminator fully broken... | |
| A Review of the Denafrips Pontus Gen 15 DAC Have not heard the Pontus 15th, so “feel” is the appropriate word. But yes, I think that the original Terminator will outperform the Pontus 15th. Why, I remember reading (if I can find it I’ll post it) that Alvin once compared a Venus II to the ... | |
| Re; Dynamics, Class D vs tubes… 4 ohms, 85db speakers are probably not the best match for tubes. With that said I hear little difference in low level listening dynamics using either my Atma-Sphere 30w tube amp or 100w Class D amps with my QLN 8 ohm, 87.5db easy to drive speaker... |
