XLR cables for a reasonable price?
Just received my Atma-Sphere Class D amps.  They’re fantastic right out of the box but I won’t dwell on that since there are enough Class D battles (threads) going on.  Already tried my $2,000 Cardas Clear XLR cables and my $100 Mogami XLR cables ... 
XLR cables for a reasonable price?
I’ve tried the DH Labs XLR cables with my Atma-Sphere gear.  They sound fine but no better or worse than Mogami.  The only way you’ll know for sure is to try for yourself.  I as well as many others have.  Just trying to save you some time and mone... 
XLR cables for a reasonable price?
@hifinut51 I have the A-S MP3 and S30 in one of my systems.  Class D being delivered tomorrow 😁 I use  Cardas Clear or Clear Beyond cables everywhere except preamp to amp.  There I use Mogami XLR made by 10 Audio.  I’ve tried Cardas between the pr... 
Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like?
In my view it is hard to win an ego contest on an internet forum, so why try?   Apparently some people think it’s pretty easy when you don’t know who they are, where they are, or what they are.  
I stream 24/7. Do you?
@kennymacc +1 probably the only difference between you and me is that I’m older, lol.  
speakers for small room
I missed the fact your room is open on one side.  So it appears you listen in an area that is smaller than the overall room side.  Seems like more information is needed.  Duke brings up several things to be taken into consideration.  To start, I t... 
Seller Unresponsive after payment.
Being out your money and the item you purchased is not a good feeling.  I recently went through a similar experience but in my case the item purchased was defective.  It doesn’t hurt to file a claim.  It can always be canceled. You’re certainly ju... 
Bought a system without auditioning, thoughts?
Congrats.  Great system you’ve put together.  Unless you’re a real “vinylfile”, I think you’ll appreciate the simplicity of the XP17 and of course how good it sounds. I used a XP15 and Int60 for quite awhile in one of my setups.  There is always a... 
Probable PayPal Claim
I know that everyone has been on pins and needles waiting to see what happened :-).  So I'm very happy to report that just this evening I finally recieved the last of what was owed me by the seller for a full refund including the additional shippi... 
speakers for small room
I recently set up another system in a similar size room (10x14).  I use the QLN Prestige One.  They are easy to drive and your Accuphase and other gear will be a great match.  As a matter of fact the dealer who sold them to me recommended Accuphas... 
Cables for Aurender N150
@txp1 talk about Heinz 57 cable menagerie:-). I think I already mentioned this above but try the Cardas Clear High Speed USB.  Will be quite a nice improvement over the AQ Carbon.  
Aurender A20 or Lumin X1
I can tell you from personal experience that the N200 and TPlus is a magical combination and betters the A20 not to mention as already said by many above much more versatile.   
Really Long XLR
It depends if your amp and preamp are true balanced.  If they are something like Mogami is fine.  I run Mogami XLR cables in my balanced system between amp and preamp.  I’ve compared this run to using Cardas Clear XLR that I use everywhere else.  ... 
Help with Audio Jigsaw Puzzle Please
I did the same thing you’re doing a few years ago.  Everything I used came out of my closet, at least in the beginning.  That turned out to be the problem which I’ll get to next.  First off, I would keep your ARC preamp.  It’s the heart of your sy... 
LPS for Node 2i. Acopian?
I'm pretty sure you can buy the LPS and board separate so you should be good.  The power supply from LHY is pretty good though.  Not familiar with Acopian
