| Service After the Sale Funny thing here is I’m not contacting these people regarding problems or needing repairs, warranty or otherwise. In one case I needed recommendations whether to use the tape out or pre out of my preamplifier. I’ve since tried it both ways to fi... | |
| Service After the Sale @ghdprentice Aurender is definitely one of the good guys. I've contacted them a couple of times and had quick responses and even an unsolicited follow up from them to be sure everything was ok. The non-responsive vendors of whom I speak are hig... | |
| Cables for Aurender N150 I am a Cardas fan boy so you may want to take my recommendation with a grain of salt. Their Clear line for cables in my opinion are some of the better cables available. I use a Clear power cord and Clear High Speed USB on my N150. Use the Clear ... | |
| New Generation Class D - AGD Audion Mkiii upgrade Some people just like to argue. What are you going to do? I've encouraged my wife to join in on these discussions many times but she says she just prefers to argue with me 🙃 | |
| Upgrade from BS Node 2i? Since you don’t like the BluOS app the point maybe mute but why don’t you upgrade the power supply in your node? The improvement is not subtle and a good LPS can be had for a few hundred bucks. | |
| New Aurender conductor V4 app Haven't downloaded yet. Does the update show song selections on Radio Paradise like BluOS? | |
| Review: Dynaudio Contour 20i Very nice review. Congrats on finding your perfect speakers. They were on my short list. Never did get to hear them, but did audition the 30 when I was looking for something for my old (larger) listening room. Loved the sound of the 30 and a... | |
| New Generation Class D - AGD Audion Mkiii upgrade Don’t know about appealing to tube lovers. Based on comments I’ve read many seem to be offended. Personally I’ve used tubes for over 50 yrs and I think the Audion’s look pretty cool. | |
| Totem Mani 2 At The Thrift The CR 2040 doesn’t really have enough current for the Mani’. A nice 200W SS amp that doubles down into 4 ohms is what you need to look for. | |
| Warm sounding 6922 Type Tubes Yes late vintage Siemens can be bright. I bought some years ago for a preamp and almost immediately put them back in the box they came in. I think I still have ‘em somewhere 🤔 | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update Found it! He did not have the 12th version of the iris or T+. So the upshot sounds like pre 12th versions the units were not compatible. So Denafrips re-engineered and now they are. Well that’s progress for you. | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update @liangx5 Can't answer that. Still trying to find what I read 🤔 | |
| Speaker and Cable Suggestions Please Prudent advise is always try to find your speakers first. Then in due time think about different electronics, wires, etc. otherwise I think you’ll find that you’re always chasing your tail. | |
| Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD ya I guess 9k isn’t bad but that 6k number you got would be so much nicer :-) | |
| USB DACs that outperforms OPPO 105D's internal DAC? It’s not really a question of what under $1k dac will sound better than the oppo as much as what under $1k dac won’t sound better than the oppo. One of the reasons I put off getting into serious streaming was the poor sq I got when streaming Tida... |
