| Cable upgrades @audphile1 In my experience the Silver Ref II work best between source and preamp, with Matrix Ref II or Absolute Copper between preamp and amp. That allows for some of the not so great attributes of silver ref to be balanced out by the copper d... | |
| Cable upgrades Just caught this thread, interesting! Just heard back from the seller. He does not want to offer a refund. He figures I just don't like the cable, so I can simply resell it. I told him that the problem is the cable doesn't work as it should.... | |
| Help me pick some new or used speaker cables @rkfaberdds Have you mentioned which power cables you have? | |
| Cable Break In for the Naysayers @raam That's good- thanks for sharing that. I would love it if you could post that at ASR, and see what kind of negative reactions come your way 😁 Not sure I have written about this here but I have plenty of experience in test gear use as spen... | |
| Comparing streamer/DACs between $5-10k ....and subscription/monthly payment required. That aspect would bother me How are you listening to your music now without cost? | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... As a result of all the excellent recommendations for audiophile ethernet cables in this thread, especially those from jinjuku, I have settled on the SOtM dCBL-CAT7. Here's to having more square and less rounded off 1's and 0's. Thank you everybo... | |
| Roon is snappy responsive now And each manufacturer that is a Roon partner has a different version of Roon internally, many are assuming. I'm a lifetime subscriber and have been with Roon for 7, maybe 8 years and have seen plenty of changes in that time. For sure it is the bes... | |

| Clock vs Streamer advice @zpatenaude37 how are you getting on? | |
| Better DAC then DA1 module in McIntosh C49 without braking the bank. 👍 If you haven't already, determine from those who have experience with it the best way to connect it, and what format/sample rate it prefers. | |
| Roon is snappy responsive now So far the annoying slowness in the user interface is no more. It’s very responsive and snappy now. Hope it stays this way. I can’t say I’ve had that issue. It has crashed several times lately, but no big issue; just click the button and it sta... | |

| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? Correct, I did mean to say server- I stand corrected. I wanted to know what you used before the K41 SERVER. For my music "streaming" I have had 2 different one-box server/streamer solutions, so I have a hard time differentiating between the two wo... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? I can tell you that from having owned the Antipodes K41 for the better part of 2 months now I’m extraordinarily impressed by the sound and the level of support from Antipodes. Mark Cole is the best. I have it paired with the K22 player feeding a ... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? great systems are like ice cream flavors from a great ice cream manufacturer. They all taste great, but I really love Butter Pecan. Peanut butter chocolate for me thank you. But yes, is there a bad ice cream? Hmmm, what is Tony's flavour? H... |
