| Niagara 5000 Vs Torus RM20 or PS Audio Power Plant 12 @gdnrbob , thanks for this! Hoping to at least be able to do a bake-off between Torus and Niagara. I obviously can easily get the Audioquest demo from my local dealer, but I’ll need to check with a different dealer to see if a Torus demo is ... | |
| Niagara 5000 Vs Torus RM20 or PS Audio Power Plant 12 @jpan, yes I think that’s accurate. While Audioquest themselves are very generous with demos in my experience, today I simply ordered the Dragon HC 20A version that would work with the Niagara 5000’s 20A input. I based this decision on getting mu... | |
| Niagara 5000 Vs Torus RM20 or PS Audio Power Plant 12 I’m fine with vendors saying what they want, we should be smart enough to filter out any good advice from the shilling! Just wish it was as easy to filter out the noise on my AC line… heh, that was terrible, sorry! | |
| Niagara 5000 Vs Torus RM20 or PS Audio Power Plant 12 For reference- my amp is a Gryphon Diablo 300. | |
| Shunyata Omega QR BB vs AudioQuest Dragon HC @garebear you are right - there is no Omega QR BB. For some reason, I had thought they Shunyata rep had added the “BB” in an email correspondence, but they hadn’t. I’ve no idea where I got the “BB” from! The cord I tested is the Omega QR. Very, ve... | |
| What Speakers are you running with your Gryphon Amp? @bubba12 , It’s a real consideration to just stop and enjoy my system, despite the fact that my current speakers are outclassed by the rest of my system. I’m floored by what the power cord, speaker wire, and USB Reclocker upgrades brought to my sy... | |
| Shunyata Omega QR BB vs AudioQuest Dragon HC There’s no live ad? Just a sold one! | |
| Shunyata Omega QR BB vs AudioQuest Dragon HC @rareace , yes I’m planning to add a Niagara 5000 to my system for sure. AudioQuest has crazy back orders on them now so it will be a while. I’ve also ordered a Innuos Phoenix Net to eliminate noise coming in from my household Ethernet switch. My... | |
| Shunyata Omega QR BB vs AudioQuest Dragon HC Also, regarding "naturalness without losing detail and space", that’s precisely the words I would use to describe what happened to my system when I added Nordost Valhalla 2 speaker wire to my system. Holy crap that was nothing short of stunning ho... | |
| Shunyata Omega QR BB vs AudioQuest Dragon HC At this point, I think either of these cables really have everything I could be looking for (other than the Shunyata being too loose). My Gryphon amplifier is definitely not on the analytical side of things so I don’t know that I’d actually want t... | |
| Innuos Phoenix USB Reclocker - Sounds Worse? @antigrunge2, I have two AudioQuest Diamond USB cables, and one is .7m and the other is 1.25m or so. I’ve had the long one going from the Phoenix to my DAC so far. Just to see the effect, I swapped the longer and shorter USB cables, with the short... | |
| Innuos Phoenix USB Reclocker - Sounds Worse? @chcook, if you see higher in the thread my Phoenix sounds awesome now. Just took a few days for whatever reason. For me everything is more open, more transparent, and all tones have less bloom and more focus and definition. | |
| Innuos Phoenix USB Reclocker - Sounds Worse? @antigrunge2 , just checked and no, they seem to think the USB cable going to the DAC doesn’t matter as much: Which USB cable has a greater impact? From my listening tests, the stereo takes the character of the cable between the server and Phoen... | |
| Innuos Phoenix USB Reclocker - Sounds Worse? @antigrunge2, makes sense but I’ve also read a pro review that did extensive testing of different cabling with the Phoenix. Their comment was that the power cord didn’t matter as much and that event the stock cord is fine to use. They did note imp... | |
| Innuos Phoenix USB Reclocker - Sounds Worse? @petaluman that would be a good experiment, but I might wait a few days to enjoy the improvement before I go there! As I mentioned at the top I also had a new AQ Diamond USB cable, so that was breaking in as well. But can’t imagine it could make ... |
