| Is there any Streamer/DAC/Preamp good enough to replace a dedicated standalone preamp? You have an ACT 2 - not many preamps will beat it let alone an all in one solution with a software volume control. | |
| Your Opinion ....merits of a Shunyata Sigma Pwer Cord HC on a LIne conditioner Adding my query to this thread - has anyone compared Cardas Clear Beyond to the Shunyata Zitron Alpha Digital on a digital source or DAC?I am after a fuller and warmer sound.Thanks | |
| Any cable delivers more bass than Cardas Golden Reference? I am also a long time Cardas user. I never really cottoned on to the Golden Reference interconnects or speaker cables, preferring the Golden Cross instead. I always though the highs of the Golden Reference were bit hard on brass instruments. I did... | |
| Your Opinion ....merits of a Shunyata Sigma Pwer Cord HC on a LIne conditioner @garebear are you switching from your Clear Beyond XL's? | |
| Comparison of Cardas Clear & Beyond Speaker Cable to Shunyata Sigma or Alpha Cable @guidocorona I sent you a PM.@astewart8944 , yes, I did hear that the jump up from CB to CB XL was not large and so am hesitant to pay the premium which is pretty hefty. For my tastes I think I inevitably prefer bass bloom to clarity, so the CB XL... | |
| Comparison of Cardas Clear & Beyond Speaker Cable to Shunyata Sigma or Alpha Cable @guidocorona What's your recommendation for a power cord that is fuller sounding than the Clear Beyond but otherwise similar?I am not using the XL but have Clear Beyond throughout. I kind of miss the fullness that the Golden Reference gives but I ... | |

| Vienna Acouctics Beethoven Concert Grand vs. Avalon ascendant mk2 VA BBG is the sweet spot in the series.Many prefer it to the BCG.You are right about the bigger sound and stage of the BCG as they scale up better with more drivers but I think they aren't as sweet sounding.If you can go up to the Lizst or Kiss, y... | |
| Vienna Acouctics Beethoven Concert Grand vs. Avalon ascendant mk2 They couldn't be more different.Avalon is on the cooler, more resolving side.VA is more musical sounding but is rolled off.You really need to listen to them yourself. | |
| Preview: CODA Technologies new generation number#8 Stereo Amplifier I have heard the iBias designs but not the XD ones.They are more musical - not tube like though - but I felt they gave up a lot of the bass slam that Krell was famous for.I am guessing the XD upgrade is similar to the FPB c to FPB cx upgrade.I rem... | |
| Preview: CODA Technologies new generation number#8 Stereo Amplifier I've owned various Krell amps throughout my life and have never heard them being described as tube like. | |
| Power Cords @guidocorona Thanks for getting back.I was looking at your earlier post where it said you powered the power amp(s) with CB XL but had the original CB on the PSU of your DAC. I had thought maybe you did a comparison between CB and CB XL.You do not ... | |
