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 | |
Five feet from the front wall Read the question? That’s no fun. Kinda like reading the directions first. | |
Aurender Kinda thought that’s the direction you were headed. Congrats. | |
LPS for Node 2i. Acopian? I’ve used both LHY and PD on a Node. LHY was just as good or maybe better than PD for less money. Plus as you say the support is better. No brainer for me. | |
Aurender Oh, didn’t realize there was only a $700 difference. Carry on :-) | |
Aurender @navyachts sorry if I wasn’t clear. In my case, I really don’t hear a meaningful difference between the 150 and 200 until I use them with a DAC in the $5k -$7k range. If that’s where you’re going to be soon, go for the 200. If not, imo you’re p... | |
Aurender @navyachts my 2 cents only because I own both the N150 and N200. The N150 is a very good streamer and will serve you very well with your current DAC and something 2x3 times it’s cost. Remember what’s entry level for Aurender is a step up for ot... | |
Five feet from the front wall Hmmm… maybe that’s why it sounds good now😵💫 | |
New Pass Labs Go To I remember reading Mark owned one of the original Threshold amps. And my bad it was cool car calendars not Xmas cards he sent out. | |
Five feet from the front wall My speakers are 5ft off the ceiling looking at them while sitting on the floor with my back to the front wall. They sound fine that way. |
