| Anyone familiar with Canare 4s11 speaker wire sound and break in time Thank boothroyd that all I need to know. I'm going to order some tomorrow and run it shotgun and see what happens. $1.18 a foot how can you go wrong. I'll break them in and compare to my AU24 SE and JPS superconductor 3 and if it even comes close ... | |
| Anyone familiar with Canare 4s11 speaker wire sound and break in time Anyone run 2, 4s11 or a pair of them, (total 8 conductors)in shot gun form. If so I could order another set tomorrow. If 2 is better than one why not it's only another $20 and can break them in together and be done with it. | |
| Anyone familiar with Canare 4s11 speaker wire sound and break in time Thanks, I'll let them run a few weeks and try them again. I've got ask how do you know which direction to break them in, there's no arrow. I just ran them in direction of the writing toward the speaker if that really matters. | |
| Suggestions for rca connector - diy interconnects All suggestions are great, Swithcraft is really good while you playing with designs. It's no slacker even compared to more expensive rca's listed above. You can pick them up from B and H photo dirt cheap. I use to buy a bag full, easy on the wal... | |
| Initial disappointment with 1st set of “expensive’ IC’s... jl1ny, looking at the dates of your post you have less than 2 weeks on your cables. Personally I wouldn't even listen to them for another 2 to 3 weeks just run them 24/7 on another system or rig a system in the garage and forget about them for a w... | |
| Got a Node 2i, what's next? I was really surprised how dacs respond to better feet. If you want to try to squeeze a little more resolution out of your node give it a try. I know my CD player benefits due to the transport but had no idea how big of an improvement some fairly ... | |
| Got a Node 2i, what's next? OP, I owned a TNT long ago and then tried the Classic 3 they are very nice tables just not for me. I really like my Exemplar Audio tube Oppo 105 it's a very analog sounding CD player. I was content with cd and vinyl. I tried streaming just for bac... | |
| Got a Node 2i, what's next? I came from same place as you mostly vinyl, hot rodded lp12 and Herron phono. Since you mentioned r2r the MHDT Orchid might work. If you can solder caps are very easy to switch out, you can use 6922 and 6sn7 adapters which can help not being boxed... | |
| Best Bang for your Buck DAC ? A lot of good suggestions, I tried the Qutest used and thought it was very nice but sold it. I bought a demo RME from sweetwater and really like this dac and still have it. It is crystal clear without being sterile, its warm with big bass and doe... | |
| Low gain dac! I had same problem with a Bruce Moore preamp with Goldpoint step volume control. Each click was to much gain, either to loud or not loud enough. I couldn't go past 8:00 or 8:30. My suggestion may not help but but I'll give it a shot. I had Goldpoi... | |
| How much difference in Sound quality can be expected from different streamers? First thing I noticed when going from laptop to streamer to different streamers was significant drop in noise floor. After that each has a different sonic character. I don't understand how some can't hear a difference. | |
| What do I need to spend coming from an all-vinyl setup? If you can find a used Lumin U1 mini for $1200 to $1400 or an Auralic streamer with femto clock for $700 to $800 used. I found MacBook noisy as a streamer. A nice R2R dac since your coming from vinyl. $1500 for a new Audio Mirror dac or if you can... | |

| What's your favorite lyric from a song? Johnathan Edwards, not a big fan of the song but I remember it from when I was a kid and it always been stuck in my head. Think the songs name is something line, Sunshine Go Away Today? "you can't even run your own life I'll be damn if you will ru... | |
| Amperex 6922 overkill? I haven't bought any 6922 type in a few years, so not up on pricing. Don't have a 6922 amp anymore but have found I like the Bugle Boy best as an all around tube for the money. Brent Jesse has a version of bugle boy that is cheaper than perfect pr... |
