| So you think wire conductors in cables are directional? Think again... Design the system to avoid analog cables entirely...Streamer (or any other digital sources) --- digital Coax---> DSP/DAC/Amp at the driver.Analog cables are only needed for analog sources. All this fervor for a phono cable - the things are so i... | |

| NAD C-388 w/BluOS2i WiFi Connectivity Didn’t help, but accessing the back of the unit (manual firmware update), was reminded of the WiFi dongle method used for the BluOS2i. Previously, I had dug-out the extension cord that came with the BluOS2i MDC card to improve WiFi reception.So I ... | |
| NAD C-388 w/BluOS2i WiFi Connectivity @fuzztone Good call! Firmware was not up-to-date. Seems NAD has been very busy lately. Here are the latest versions (as of 5/15/21)...C-388:Main= v1.74 (model-specific, NEW)VFD= v1.22 (model-specific, not new) BT= v1.26 (model-specific,... | |

| What Makes your System Special? Great topic. DIY Linkwitz LXmini speakers with open-baffle subs makes my system special to me. Each of the 8 channels controlled by miniDSP DDRC-88A/BM. What would I change - does anyone have 4 matching Denafrips Aries2 or HoloAudio/Kitsune DACs t... | |

| Emerald Physics history and model progression @giggsy Which full-range driver do you have in the Trio, and why? | |
| Emerald Physics history and model progression Good to know about wire can be upgraded.So what I gather is the CS-series = Clayton ShawAnd EP and KC came later with Underwood. What does EP and KC stand for? | |
| Emerald Physics history and model progression Attempting to decipher model numbers, seems the least to best progression isKC - CS - EP (EP being best/most expensive). With regard to numbering pattern, lower prefix is better, and higher suffix is later generation. Example, best latest model is... | |
| Economical full-range floor-standing speaker options? Some say spec’s don’t tell whole story, this is certainly true.However, my perspective is this... we wouldn’t buy other gear that couldn’t reproduce the full audible range accurately, why should speakers be different.Looking at each component in t... | |
| Acoustic treatment question: do you agree with Dennis Foley that $46k to $65k is required? Dennis seems to have knowledge. I spoke with him once about my room - he basically said the dimensions and layout are both unfixable ("Don't bother trying to fix it, buy a different house."). His systems probably work quite well. Maybe the cost vs... |
