| cable advice Thanks again, everyone. Her dealer is letting her have some budget cables/ic while everything burns in and she gets used to the sound. And then she'll follow up on some of these excellent leads! | |
| Any reviews/impressionsons of Ascend Sierra 2? interesting! Enjoy! | |
| Any reviews/impressionsons of Ascend Sierra 2? They sound great. Congratulations! How much power do they need? And it sounds like they would not work well in a small room? (Mine is 9 by 11.) | |
| cable advice Thanks, all. And I had no idea, Al, that high impedance made speakers a bit less fussy re: cables. Good to know! Her run is on the long side. 17 feet, I think. | |
| Epos K-1 I hadn't realized the Cable Company carried them. Thanks! | |
| Need opinion with new cd player purchase A lot of people seem to like the Line Magnetic players. Heard the 215 last week and thought it sounded very good. | |
| Auralic Aries w NOS DAC I haven't heard Empirical Audio. (My guess is without the upgrades they are very close...some people reported that EA pulls out ahead with the upgraded power supply.) I do have the W4S Remedy connected to a CD player in one of my systems, and yes,... | |
| Auralic Aries w NOS DAC I have been looking into these same issues. I want to stream Tidal into a Bryton BDA-1 DAC. I don't have ripped CDs and will really just be streaming Tidal. I investigated Sonos with W4S or Empirical Audio and came to the conclusion that Empirical... | |
| my ethernet cable? Thanks again, everybody! A thread about like this one here on Audiogon walked me through getting dedicated circuits set up last summer. Can't imagine taking a step without you guys.Margot | |
| my ethernet cable? Thanks, Kriskdf.Will the router say 10/100 on it? And what is the designation for a router that is adequate for gigabit? If I did this --keeping in mind Al's reservations!--how do I go about finding a good cable installer? Obviously the guy who di... | |
| my ethernet cable? I agree about Al. Where do I send my campaign contribution? :)Thanks so much, everyone. Much appreciated! | |
| my ethernet cable? Thanks, everybody, again!Cymbop, I'm curious, was your Cat 6a shielded?and Jim, is RJ45 the name of the jack for 6a as well as 5e?Many thanks!Margot | |
| my ethernet cable? Oh, one other follow up:If I do end up having drop outs and needing to replace the cable, I assume I only have to replace the line that goes to my stereo? (ie: I can leave the line that runs to the computer and the line that runs to the TV as is.)... | |
| my ethernet cable? Jim and Al,You guys are the best. Thanks so much. So it sounds like my first step is just to go ahead and as long as I don't hear drop outs, don't worry about it. If I do hear drop outs, then maybe I want to get some shielded cat6 from blue jeans ... | |
| Silverline Minuet Supreme Plus... Thanks for your ideas, guys. I wrote to Silverline as well and their recommendation was to try one of Rogue's integrated tube amps or solid state from Pass Labs. So it sounds, Duvallite, like the Sphinx would be a great match with these. I would l... |
