| Eliminated my preamp with amazing results When I purchased my Lumin X1 a few years back, I started going direct to my mono blocks. And I totally agree, once I experienced music without the preamp in the chain I could never go back. ozzy | |
| MICHI 8 Amp(s) j-wall, I will do my best. Remember though, this is with my equipment, my room, my choice of music and my ears. The Pass Labs amps were ok but to me sounded a little too closed in, especially on the top end. The Atmasphere amps were ok but lacke... | |
| MICHI 8 Amp(s) Thanks. I suppose with all equipment it depends upon the other pieces within the system. Horn type speakers can be tough. ozzy | |
| Speaker Spikes - Working Principle I don't know if this qualifies as a speaker spike, but I found that using the ISO- Acoustics Gaia 1's under my Clarisys speakers to be a big improvement over just using the aluminum feet. I also added the carpet spikes under the Gaia's and found t... | |
| MICHI 8 Amp(s) Thanks! You know if the fans have come on, I have never heard them. The unit runs pretty cool to the touch. One of the front screen menus on the unit is a temperature reading. Once it warms up and has played for some time the temperature reaches ... | |
| MICHI 8 Amp(s) First off, Happy New Year to all! It’s funny, about 10+ years ago I thought I should start downsizing the weight of my equipment for possible future age-related limitations. I started using tube amp(s) and monitor/sub speakers. Fast forward to t... | |
| Connecting a subwoofer You could use something like this. ozzy SP-2SX | Jensen Transformers (jensen-transformers.com) | |
| MICHI 8 Amp(s) Has anyone else tried these amps? It is truly surprising. Especially for the cost. ozzy | |
| Aardvark Ethernet noise isolator Well, I just got the iFi ethernet filter. First impression, it does seem to do more than the much more expensive Aardvark, but not sure if it is a keeper. Right now, it sounds like the music moved up a bit in frequency response. There does seem ... | |
| loose IEC power cord connection? I have used Teflon tape wrapped around the IEC. ozzy | |
| A little deeper on amp power please.... Best analogy I can think of is: Think of it as a high-power race car that can go 200 miles an hour. Even at the required speed limit, it will display an effortless response that you can feel. ozzy | |
| Whats playing on your system today? "A Nod is as Good as a Wink...to a Blind Horse", select songs. I like the song, "Stay with Me". It sounds like a band trying to get it together. ozzy | |
| Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ Huh? You guys are confusing the heck out of me. I only care if it sounds better. ozzy | |
| Telos Mini Quantum Resonator (MQR) & Puron Filter together Well, I have done a 180. I no longer have the Telos in my audio system with the Purons. I think with my Add Power Sorcer x4, the Puron’s and the Telos it was just too much. Once I removed the Telos the soundstage really widened. I was surprised of... | |
| Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ Man, there is some different opinions. But we all have them. I am using an EtherRegen in my computer room that converts the ethernet to fiber which then goes to my Lumin X1 in my audio room. Pretty much clutter free. To me, the fiber was a game ... |
