| Initial impressions of the new PS Audio "Windom" download? All I will say about Windom upgrade is: Holy Algorithms! I have been at this for decades and I rarely have heard such a jump in audikle improvement from anything -- component, playback media or software. It really is magic. Neal | |
| ... WHAT POWER CORD(S) ARE PLAYING IN YOU SYSTEM TODAY? Mikey881,The AQ Hurricane is the high current version so I have not tried it on my DAC yet, but will. Right now it is on my VTL 7.5iii preamp and is both detailed and full-bodied, audibly more so than former LessLoss Reference. I will try the Hurr... | |
| Tidal WiFi not as good as cd I recently installed a Bridge II in my PS Audio DSD DAC and signed up for Tidal. To my astonishment, music wirelessly streamed from Tidal (HiFi) to the Bridge II sounded BETTER than the same music streamed to my Bryston BDP-1 with a portable HD wi... | |

| Anyone here with Magico A3 driven by Bel Canto Ref600's? Whoa! Can we return to civility here? Opinions are just that -- opinions -- no need for personal insults.On to the question. I have Magico A3's, which I drive with a Krell FPB 300 cx, a Class A amp. Have not heard the Bel Canto Ref 600's, but year... | |
| Audience Au24se vs Au24sx cables I am using the Au24SX speaker cables with my 6-month old Magico A3's, and the AU24SX XLR IC's running from my VTL 7.5 iii preamp to Krell FPB 300cx power amp. It took a while for everything to burn in and settle down (especially the speakers) bu... | |
| High Current VS Dedicated Source Cables : Audioquest I am using a HC Hurricane on my preamp and it sounds great. I suspect you can use the HC cord on anything, but should not use the Source cord on an amp that is HC. Neal | |
| AQ Firebird vs Hurricane Power Cord Comparo This has not been my experience, folkfreak (great screen name!). I have had the Hurricane PC for about a month (50-75 hours) and have recently noticed an audible improvement in transparency, realism and bass performance. I have not changed anythin... | |
| AQ Firebird vs Hurricane Power Cord Comparo Bob,I agree with you in principle, but every now and then there is a significant change in design or technology or a combo of the two which leads to an easily audible improvement in performance of an audio component. Teflon capacitors in preamps i... | |
| AQ Firebird vs Hurricane Power Cord Comparo Thanks, Bob. Agree with allowing settling in before doing anything else, BUT, obsession arrived a few decades ago and will not leave!Neal | |
| Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... I took delivery of my A3's about 10 days ago and they are breaking in nicely. Last description I would ever use is "dark," at least with my setup. I find them lively, transparent, natural and with deep, taut bass. A little thin up on top but this ... | |
| Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... I auditioned the A3's at Rhapsody Music in NY, driven by a Constellation SS integrated amp. "Dark" is the last description I would use. They were so alive, natural and realistic, with amazing, accurate bass, I ordered a pair on the spot, to be de... | |
| HC Power cords for tight spaces -- unicorn hunting? I have used Nordost Valhalla and LessLoss Signatuure from the wall to my Audience Power Conditioner and had no problems.. Sound was excellent, and my amp is no mouse -- 330w/per channel Krell FPB 300 cx. And you don't need to wrestle with these co... | |
| Speaker Cables for Magico Thanks to all. Many excellent suggestions, with a tilt toward Siltech and some SR. I get the sense of what will work and what will not. I also may try Audience SX cables. I have the XLR IC's and they are superb.Cheers.Neal | |
| Speaker Cables for Magico To rhg88,I have used a Krell FPB 300cx in my main rig for 15+ years and love its power and sound. Unless it interacts poorly with the A3's -- which I doubt -- that is what I will be using.Neal |
