| Sound Anchor Stands My new SA Signature stands for Aerial LR5s have a separate (quite heavy) plate that bolts onto the speaker bottom and then the plate bolts to the top plate of the stand.There are two reasons for this separate plate. First, the threaded holes in th... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses @geoffkait and @nonoise You guys were paying attention.I became overly excited when I thought we were making progress.I still find,"so small as to be insignificant" to be the salient point of the entire statement | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses @geoffkait "The question that should be addressed is just how much of a change a fuse introduces,"......"it’s so small as to be insignificant"Bingo! You are getting closer.....just a couple of superfluous words too many - I removed them for you...... | |
| Best standalone music server? Would really be interested in hearing from folks who have used a Mac mini as a server running Roon via Ethernet into a high'ish end renderer like the SOtM triple set and then USB from the SOtM to a good DAC, and compared that to a high end server/... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses @douglas_schroeder We might also see a wide variance in total system cost as regards fuses. I would not be surprised to see systems in the $15K+ category using aftermarket fuses, while those in the $2-10K category would not. FYI, system is about... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses 1. Overpriced - B2. Yes; SR, Isoclean, HiFiTuning, Furutech, AMR3. Turning them around makes no discernible difference | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? "This is why those who oppose such things as superior cables almost always lack first hand experience with them because they can't afford them and no dealer will loan them a set because the dealer knows they are not a customer and cannot afford ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD To augment my comment below about nothing jumping out as a "clear winner" with regards to renderers/endpoints, it seems the dCS Network Bridge would certainly be one to try. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hello Steve,Where can I learn more about your Interchange Ethernet renderer you keep mentioning here? After they finish the Gen3 upgrade to my Antipodes DX I plan to try using it as a server on my network with Roon. I will need a renderer to a... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? How convenient, and original, claim an aberration and "safely" throw out the offending fact. Did you learn that in your Multivariate Analytical Statistics and Data Visualization class where higher level students basically claim a deep understan... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Geoff, I did indeed try reversing a fuse and the most noticeable difference was the 15 minutes of my life I will never get back. I have now vowed to only try stupid audiophile parlor tricks at midnight during the fall switch from daylight savings... | |
| Asking for Help with Digital Solution @astewart8944 , I plan to have the Gen3 upgrade performed, regardless of whether I try another device and I am ok with the USB-only output of the DX Gen3 since I tried the SPDIF out and determined the USB out actually sounds best with my DAC. ... | |
| Asking for Help with Digital Solution I am ok using roon and would have done so already but Squeezelite has sounded good on my DX and requires less processing. Assuming I go through with the Gen3 upgrade for my DX, it should be better able to process roon and that is an option. OTOH, ... | |
| Duelund DCA16GA Just finished making a pair of bi-wire speaker cables from the Duelund 12ga wire. I have a cross-connected star quad going to the LF and HF of each speaker (8 wires per speaker or 6 awg per pole). Getting the four 12ga wires attached to a singl... | |
| Antipodes DX or Aurender N10? Check out their website. They are up to DX3 now, which is their one-box solution but they also have some new options in their highest-level "X" line, being the CX and EX. You need to read closely but there are distinct advantages related to each ... |
