| The Audiophile Upgrade Easiest to Ignore I'm a Widex Moment user and very happy with them. They are not perfect but are dramatically better than all of the others I have had (Phonax, Costco). The others sounded so bad they were essentially unusable. They were edgy, grating, unnatural. | |
| Speaker cable recommendations You might also check with Cap at Audio Envy: https://audioenvy.com Some excellent products at very reasonable prices. I particularly like their speaker cables. | |
| The Ultimate Audio Modification: Golden Ears "Wouldn't a set of hearing aids also have its own sonic signature? " Absolutely! My 73 year-old ears have needed hearing aids for years now. It has been an expensive journey through several pairs of $6500+ hearing aids that sounded so irritating ... | |
| New Generation Class D - AGD Audion Mkiii upgrade I have a pair of AGD Tempo stereo amps that I bi-amp with. I'm very pleased with the sound. | |
| AGD Tempo in the house @bluethinker See above. | |
| AGD Tempo in the house The sound is clean, but not sterile; smooth; dimensional; lots of ’inner detail’. The only amp I did a fair comparison with (all the same components except the Pass requires RCA cables from pre to amp) was a Pass XA 25. The Pass was a little more ... | |
| Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping? I vertically bi-amp my system. Two AGD Tempo stereo amps, each driving a Fyne F1-8. I compared this to using a single Tempo and there is no question that bi-amping here was a big improvement - the same kind of improvement you would get from going ... | |
| AGD Tempo in the house @kayakerf Yes. Definitely better than bridging them. I believe this way is called vertical bi-amping. | |
| A step to the side- Smart TV question @fuzztone Not sure what that means 'casts', but if you have a smart TV you should be able to access Apple TV or any other streaming service, youtube, etc., directly via the TV. No need for iOS or any other external device or OS. But if I want to I... | |
| A step to the side- Smart TV question I'm currently using a Sony OLED and love it. I have had LG in the past and I think their build quality is far below that of Sony. In fact, about a year ago when I replaced my TV I originally bought another LG. Had it for a couple of days and took ... | |
| Please recommend decoupling footers for DAC Silicone lab bottle stoppers work very well for me: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G71Z7NT/ref=sspa_dk_detail_2?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B07G71Z7NT&pd_rd_w=k7nNG&content-id=amzn1.sym.0d1092dc-81bb-493f-8769-d5c802257e94&pf_rd_p... | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? @blisshifi If I remember a conversation with Alberto correctly the Tempo is simply a stereo version of the Audion, probably with a common but beefier power supply. I have two of them to use as mono blocks that also bi-amp. If the Audion's and ... | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? I am using a pair of AGD Tempo (bi-amping). I compared the AGD's to the Atmasphere monos and to a Pass XA-25. Both the Pass and the Atmasphere's are darker than the AGD's in my system (Bakert Rhythm pre and Fyne F1-8 speakers). The AGD's are smo... | |
| Heavy duty amp stand, Sonic benefits? @ghdprentice These are silicone, but I know rubber is kind of a generic term. I was using springs and ISO Acoustics pucks. Silicone stoppers out performed them by a good margin. The only thing I can think of is 1.5 inch x 3 of silicone provided mo... | |
| Heavy duty amp stand, Sonic benefits? You all are going to think I am crazy. I have a cabinet (cherry and walnut if you think it matters) to house all of my components and have been using it for years. Some time ago someone mentioned using silicone lab-bottle stoppers to isolate compo... |
