| Make speakers disappear. Simple, cheap With eyes wide open you can 'see' the musicians. Instead of staring at a wall. @gdaddy1 if you are staring at the front wall (without the paint/fabric in place), then you still have to work out your speaker placement, since you are not able to ... | |

| Make speakers disappear. Simple, cheap Lighting is important but the blackness of the wall is the most important...by far! Lets agree to disagree on this one @gdaddy1. In my room, my lighting is such that you can get all the "sound stage" that was meant to be in the music. My setup ... | |
| Thoughts on using the DAC in my oppo 205 with a CD Transport. @big_greg It's the DAC in your Oppo that's holding things back, not the transport. This is SO true. While the DAC inside the Oppo is pretty good - it simply does not compare to great stand alone DACs. This is based on 7 years of experience, u... | |
| Make speakers disappear. Simple, cheap You need to create the 'canvas' for the image to appear.The back wall behind the speakers should be flat black and as dark as possible. NO lights on the center back wall. My favorite is a matte dark black fabric that also aids in reducing reflect... | |
| Audioquest thunder vs tornado HC powercords I've been saying no audio and cable company knows how to make the power cable properly, except me. I will bite @mihorn - tell me. | |
| Audioquest thunder vs tornado HC powercords @milpai yes 100% system dependent. Yes give AQ a shot. I would bypass Thunder and start with Tornado or Hurricane. Be careful buying AQ on a used market. Too many fakes. @audphile1, I intended to go with either Tornado OR Hurricane source for t... | |
| Audioquest thunder vs tornado HC powercords Thanks for the details @audphile1. My guess is that cables are system dependent. BTW, those Nordosts are quite a bit more than the budget I have set. | |
| Roon hq player @newtoncr, I am surprised that the techs at T+A actually asked you to do that. Was that in a direction communication with them? Jussi Lako, the creator of HQ Player, himself is very satisfied with DSD256/512. Of course, you can go up to DSD 1024 ... | |
| Audioquest thunder vs tornado HC powercords I am not looking for more bottom end, thicker or warmer. Just more transparency, if it even exists. | |
| What does your DAC sound like My T+A DAC 200 made my music “come alive”. Large, excellent imaging that makes the speakers disappear. I look forward to listening it everyday. | |
| Anyone interested in an audio get together in Northest Ohio? @2psyop , Indeed it was a fun session listening to your 4+ systems! You have a great spouse who remembers the model of the first receiver you purchased after engagement. Man that was a great story. I am baffled by the number of components you own... | |
| My Favorite Tweaks, What is yours? I like the Purons; but the way they work is weird in my situation. If I already have a Puron plugged and then add a second Puron on the second dedicated line, then I do not like it - as I had stated in the Puron thread. But I recently found, afte... | |
| Audioquest thunder vs tornado HC powercords Reviving an old thread. I am curious about the Tornado. Wanted to try that on my DAC. Currently using a Cullen Crossover Series II on the T+A DAC 200. There was indeed a slight improvement when I switched from the regular Crossover to Crossover II. | |
