| Brave man, McGowan... I read Paul's post as the AQ PC is a superb product rather than taking anything away from P20. I have no reason to believe that someone like Paul has any other motives but trying to people what actually happened. The dragons are over my budget but... | |
| The quest for the right interconnect and speaker cables (Siltech) If you didn't like 770i then you won't like 330i. Buy something else i would say. I found Siltech cables to be very fast, smooth, and low noise cables. | |
| The sound of Siltech 550i XLR cable If you have money for it then get it. I use them between my preamp and amp. Fantastic cables. Drops noise and increase signal so much that you hear it the moment you connect them. I really could not believe that a cable can improve sound so much. ... | |
| Let me know your choice please Bryston cube series amps are really smooth and natural sounding imo. You can also look at used Hegel integrated amps. Simaudio is a good choice, i think they cost more than Bryston for smilarly priced amps. Cannot go wrong with either imo. | |
| Joseph Audio Pulsar2 vs dynaudio confidence 20 vs tad-me1 Thank you gyoungblood. Your experience is helpful to know. I heard the pulsars, although they sounded good, but didn't wow me enough to open my wallet. I don't have dealers near by where i can audition the TADs, it looks like most everyone who hea... | |
| Pass Labs XA30.8 @audiotroy, Is Audio magic mini reference 2 conditioner much better than Audioquest Niagara 1000? I was also considering PS Audio P12 power generator? Which would be most effective to create that 3D effect? Thx! | |
| Siltech Cables - Among the best I am using 550i xlr and 550L. I had the xlr first. Tremendous improvement was made. I just added the speaker cable, it too made profound impact just out of box. Once the cables fully burn in, they should sound even better. | |
| Pass Labs XA30.8 I have speaker spike feets from Herbie. They made noticeable improvement over the stock penny feets. I suppose Isoacoustics feets are better... but more money too.I use an Ikea TV furniture for now, why would amp blocks make any difference, does s... | |
| Simaudio 390 Network Streamer | DAC | Preamp Sure, but good one box solution take lot of guess work out of it and don't need to buy additional cables. | |
| Pass Labs XA30.8 Elizabeth, that's an interesting point you mentioned about AC receptacles. My dealer has been telling me that I should replace my $1 receptacles with Audioquest Edison. Perhaps I should change that first and see what differences it makes to my sys... | |
| Pass Labs XA30.8 audiotroy2, Thanks for the suggestion. I have considered tube, and I owned lower end hybrid tube integrated amplifier previously. With my listening lifestyle, I think SS suits better. This is why I am considering the Pass amp because I read that i... | |
| Pass Labs XA30.8 Thanks Dpac996. Your response is certainly is encouraging and i am almost ready to pull the trigger. | |
| Is there any Streamer/DAC/Preamp good enough to replace a dedicated standalone preamp? Simaudio moon 390. | |
| Simaudio 390 Network Streamer | DAC | Preamp I owned the 390 for two month. It really is a fantastic kit. I am using it as all-in-one solution. So 390 and Bryston 4B3. That’s it. I had Chord Hugo 2 before and 390 is a better sounding DAC / preamp in my system. For 2 channel, I use the Mind 2... |
