| Innuos Phoenix USB Reclocker - Sounds Worse? @chcook, very interested to hear your results! | |
| Innuos Phoenix USB Reclocker - Sounds Worse? @kingbarbuda , yes I’m considering upgrading to the Niagara 5000. I would guess that my 1200 is below the rest of my system, but I think it at least helps with my source components a bit. I’ve no idea what to expect with the 5000, conditioners a... | |
| Innuos Phoenix USB Reclocker - Sounds Worse? @rbstehno , I totally get that you can go way overboard on the gimmick boxes. Even my dealer who sold me the Phoenix reclocker rolled his eyes when I asked him about it! He said “another box, and if I hear one more customer going on and on and on ... | |
| Innuos Phoenix USB Reclocker - Sounds Worse? @mike_in_nc , totally agree with what you are saying, but I do have one exception. To get around “consumer bias”, let’s call it, I generally trust the internet ONLY if 1) Sources are reporting all the same things with no disagreement, and 2) There... | |
| Innuos Phoenix USB Reclocker - Sounds Worse? @mike_in_nc, totally agree with the “simplicity is nice principle”. I know that on paper it seems it maybe unnecessary with my DAC, but if you look up the reviews and forum posts, there is an overwhelming number of folks who say this device improv... | |
| Innuos Phoenix USB Reclocker - Sounds Worse? Thanks all. @dpetr, maybe you are right. I’ve seen this question come up about the Phoenix before, where the question is raised as to whether the Phoenix is redundant with some DACs. But many people have said the Phoenix seems to improve sound ... | |
| Nordost Valhalla 2 Speaker Cables Correction - the newer B&W’s ARE ported, but downwards as opposed to front firing. | |
| Nordost Valhalla 2 Speaker Cables @henry201, very interesting with regard to the A5’s with the Valhalla (I’m assuming you tested Valhalla version 2 as version 1 is known to be thin-sounding). Regarding B&W, from D3 onwards, I personally find the bass to take a back seat to th... | |
| Nordost Valhalla 2 Speaker Cables @ronboco, also, what conditioner are you connecting the Odin 2 power cord to, if any? | |
| Nordost Valhalla 2 Speaker Cables @ronboco, Regarding B&W I did not really take to their sound until I heard them with the Gryphon amp. So it could be a pairing thing for me. I would really love to audition the Rockports. Unfortunately it looks like I’d need to travel from... | |
| Nordost Valhalla 2 Speaker Cables @ronboco, yep I am avoiding any possible exposure to Odin 2 like the plague! I’ve heard nothing but good things. As good as my gear is, Odin 2 would essentially have my cabling outclass the rest of my system, while also utterly clobbering the bu... | |
| Nordost Valhalla 2 Speaker Cables @ronboco, yes, I have also started looking at speakers. So far, I’ve listened to Magico A5’s and Audiovector R6’s with my Diablo 300 DAC and my cabling connected (including Valhalla 2’s). I had also listened to B&W 802 D3’s extensively when au... | |
| Nordost Valhalla 2 Speaker Cables @divertiti also to compare with the Nordost Valhalla 2 power cord, I’m going by memory of my very intensive testing in 2019. I recall the V2 being incredibly natural in the mids and high frequencies, extremely fast, and with more of what I like a... | |
| Nordost Valhalla 2 Speaker Cables @divertiti, I’m going to create a new thread on that comparison but I’ll offer a preview. The Omega QR BB is a far more lush and exquisite presentation at this point, vs the not-broken-in Dragon which has a more plain and straightforward, but high... | |
| Gryphon Amp Owners: Results with AQ Niagara? @divertiti, yes, it may be possible to set up a demo. I’ve been keeping my dealer busy providing me with demo power cords now (Shunyata Omega QR BB and Sigma V2 NR, and also AudioQuest Dragon HC and Firebird HC). I will wait until I get the PC p... |
