| Audioquest or Nordost for speaker cable For me Nordost every time and I have my system running on a complete Nordost loom. But, as others have said it is system dependent and what suits my system (and ears) may not suit yours. | |
| Best DAC’S $5k to $15k +1 on the Moon by Simaudio recommendation by @akg_ca . They have some spectacularly good products, I'll be installing a 780D in my system in a few weeks time 😀 | |
| Kiseki Blue N.S. vs van den Hul Frog Gold I have not heard the VdH Frog but when I could not get a Kiseki Blackheart I ended up with a Charisma Audio Signature One Moving Coil, which has quite a similar presentation. It might be worth looking at their lineup - I have been very pleased wit... | |
| Differences in YouTube, Spotify, etc. Qobuz, for sound quality. The interface is good and improving, the content likewise, and the recommendations are OK. Dislike Tidal, both the SQ and MQA and the interface and recommendations. I liked Deezer but Qobuz trumps it on sound quality (D... | |
| Transparent Audio is anything but Transparent Nowhere in the linked post do TA state that they will remotely verify cables bought through a third party, let alone in advance of purchase. How could they. They do generously offer to recalibrate, modify, etc such cable for a reasonable fee and p... | |
| A quick question on what streamers to consider....... I have no hesitation in recommending the Moon MiND 2 in your price bracket. Canadian built but hey, close enough! Update are automatic. | |
| Looking for 200 watt Amp to drive Dynaudio Heritage speakers @cbrez, that was my thought exactly, high current over simply high wattage. I have heard the Dynaudio HS driven very nicely indeed buy Moon 240 and 250 (50Wpc at 8 Ohms). Importantly these are 85W and 100W pc at 4 Ohms, repectively. | |
| New streamer Moon MiND2. I really like what mine delivers in terms of sound quality. Plus the app is really user-friendly. | |
| Harman acquires Roon They will almost certainly be seeking a functional streaming app (at minimum) from the components of Roon as the HK/Arcam MusicLife app is dreadful (I could not get it to work and keep working at all). | |
| Tidal or Qobuz Qobuz | |
| Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!! I think that my Living Voice IBX-RW4 have every sign of being the endgame for me. Wonderfully musical. | |
| Looking for an all-in-one just-add-speakers streamer for my son to take to college I picked up an Arcam Solo Uno for my office for £300 (new) a couple of months back (originally about £650). Apart from an Aux-In all it does is stream. The Harmon Kardon / Arcam app is appalling (I could not get it to work and stay working) but ... | |
| Looking for intermediate-step Streamer: better than BS Node and not @ Bartok level pricing Moon MiND2 would be another great shout. The app is excellent also | |
| Audio stand needed....Moving main components from mechanical room to listening room +1 for the Quadraspire, I have had the Q4 for 24 years now. Never had need nor inclination (let alone space) to separate the TT, just six shelves with the TT on top. | |
| Speaker recommendation £2-10k range Take a look at/listen to Living Voice - they are incredibly musical ad allow the equipment to get out of the way. I have just ordered mine. |
