| Update from Nordost Heimdall to Frey speaker cable I don’t own Nordstrom yet have heard a full loom with the DAC, pre and amp of my system and it shocked me on the dynamics and clarity. I bring this up because their philosophy on all cables. All that as context - I think there’s a differen... | |
| Update from Nordost Heimdall to Frey speaker cable What sound characteristics are you looking to change ? Do you think you are missing something? I ask because I've found significant impact from power cords and I didn't expect it. | |
| Turntable prices. Is my mind going? @mahgister I appreciate your response. To each their own, I can enjoy music or a car without knowing all the details of how they work. I may not have the mental capacity or patience to understand the how. I hear differences in systems and unders... | |
| Qualities Of An End-game System Seems like a good definition. I am not sure if your doing sex, drug, etc. right if you don't enjoy them as well 😀 | |
| Turntable prices. Is my mind going? @mahgister knowledge on how something works is not the same as using/enjoying it. Max Verstappen is not an expert in engineering but he is a multiple time Formula 1 Champion. What's wrong with someone 'outsourcing' the expertise in design and im... | |
| Sonus Faber Il Cremonese Amp Pairing suggestions My recommendation is listen to as numerous amplifier manufacturers and notice the difference in character revealed through the speakers. Ideally this is done at home. I believe you will notice there's a difference between how your STR amplifie... | |

| Help with XLR ICs. If you like how a ‘loom sounds’ go for it. I use Shunyata for power and Kimber Kable for others. I did it over time and don’t see a value to migrate to one manufacturer. | |
| Is there any fan of Mettalica here? I enjoy Metallica! Their music is dynamic for rock not other genres such as some classical, jazz and opera music Case in point is on the S&M album - with the San Francisco symphony - I understand they had to use their typical concern amp set... | |
| The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change Adventurous! As long as you are enjoying it - awesome. If not, then establish a timeline for making changes | |
| power cord for pass 250.8 @audphile1 +1 Listen to as many as you can. [I have Shunyata (Alpha v@ NR) and love them and other options like Nordost may float your boat more) | |
| Do I actually need a dedicated amp/DAC for my setup? @master_of_pupppets Your opinion is what matters. Can you upgrade? Sure? Do you need to in order to enjoy music? Definitely not! Here's my alternative. Invest in a (pick one or more): Excellent recliner (I am partial to Stressless) Mus... | |
| Audio Racks, Just How beneficial? looking for guidance in upgrading Do audio racks make an impact? For me yes, I have an HRS rack and dramatically improved the sonics and performance of my turntable (Rega P8). Wall mounting is an option - just not for me I didn't notice the impact on other components Your m... | |
| Swiss Options - Piega & Stenheim No, And I think Stenheim Alumine 5 are the best speakers I've ever heard (not close and I've heard very high end Sonus faber, Focal, and Wilson). I have heard them in someone's house with CH Precision and at an audiofest where the room was horrib... | |
| Rega P10 with Apheta 3 Interesting opportunity. You would see a significant upgrade going to a P6 or P8 with your current cartridge - I think since it's not planned there's no harm in passing it up. If you feel it's that compelling - invest the money with a 6 month CD... |
