| Power cords known to produce good bass In my experience - where I upgraded speaker cables, interconnects and then power cords - the lower end frequencies became clearer. The details were more evident and my interpretation is the noise was eliminated (I have shunyata power cords). | |
| Your suggestions: Headphone + DAC/Amp combo? @johnau I started with the chord mojo because the portability. I have travelled significantly for work and sometimes am away from home weeks at a time. I personally tend not to watch TV or listen to music on the road because (a) music selection/... | |
| Your suggestions: Headphone + DAC/Amp combo? @johnau The difference is night and day...and so is the cost. The Chord is wonderful for escaping with music where ever you are. I can enjoy music where ever I am. It's a step up from a headphone jack on a quality preamp. The Moon envelopes ... | |
| What's up with lousy bass on classic rock recordings? I think it may be the recording or even desired sound - I have Boston, LPs, DSD files and can stream lossless and they sonic characteristics are very close yet Boston doesn't have the bass line of Jazz I listen off of Linn Jazz. | |
| Newbie question - dedicated headphone amp or is my McIntosh MA352 sufficient @soix hopefully Elmer Fudd is preoccupied | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Boogie with Stu…Led Zeppelin | |
| How do you stop house guest from damaging your speakers? I am surprised - I have never had to say don’t touch. I invite folks over and perhaps it’s the area rug creating an a border but folks comment but don’t touch and are surprised at the clarity and detail of music when they sit in the sweet spot. | |
| Requesting upgrade advice How is the turntable isolated- a HRS platform was really impactful in my space. | |
| Upgrade to McIntosh Trust your ears. If you like it - that’s what matters. I’ve owned a C2600 and MC 302 with Sonus faber Olympica Nova Vs. Mc stuff has a strong secondary market. If you’re unsure experiment - Rogue makes some excellent hybrid and tube stuf... | |
| Your suggestions: Headphone + DAC/Amp combo? I have two systems...a portable and home system. Chord Mojo2/Poly Moon HA 430 with internal DAC and a Node 2i as the streamer I started listening to the headphone jack on my preamp...with Sennheiser HD800s I initially bough a portable syste... | |
| Newbie question - dedicated headphone amp or is my McIntosh MA352 sufficient My advice is tread lightly.... I picked up some headphones and enjoyed listening through my preamp. Then decided to try a headphone amp - the Chord Mojo2...it was a drastic improvement. Oh, yes you guessed it then I listened to a 'high end' non-... | |
| Are you getting the bass you deserve? I'm not sure if I deserve anything but a swift kick in the ass. Yet, I appreciate the sound from my system. I'm stuck in my ways so I don't use a sub and my Sonus faber Olympica Nova Vs do seem to get it done to my satisfaction. Speakers are ju... | |
| Wilson Audio Sophia rev 3 Wilson’s do have a ‘house characteristic’. I personally find them a bit harsh with less than incredible recordings. I’d call them honest. I own Sonus faber and appreciate their voice - my recommendation is try to get a home audition. You ears ... | |
| Need help! First step into high end audio Here’s a different option to consider. I used to have a dedicated media room with an NAD home theatre receiver and PSB speakers. When I moved to a smaller place I bought Bluesound sound bar and subwoofer- it’s a sister company of NAD and all i... | |
| Where do you stop? Interesting question. I don’t know. And for what it’s worth, I experimented with changing speaker cables first then ICs then power. It made a difference and the only silver I have is my ICs - Kimber Kable KTCG. Each change was dramatic - a... |
