| New Electrical Circuit Wow mind blown. Thanks guys. I had to do this out of necessity but excited for the unintended upgrade. | |
| New Electrical Circuit @hilroy48 The electricians have it scheduled for 15 amp circuit. So a 20 amp is the way to go? What about the size or type of wiring ? | |
| Experience with Modwright products? I have the KWA 150 SE and a LS 100 tube preamp. Very natural sounding and tons of texture IMO. | |

| Are higher end preamps worth the investment when you are only streaming Tidal & Spotify ? Sounds like a decent Dac/Streamer combo to replace the NAD may be a good idea. Anything in the used market for under 4 k that might be a good upgrade to look for? | |
| Are higher end preamps worth the investment when you are only streaming Tidal & Spotify ? @blisshifi I know the info of my room is limited etc, but at first glance why do think harmonics would be a better fit vs resolution as it relates to the ARC LS28 and the ref 5 /s per my current set up? | |
| Are higher end preamps worth the investment when you are only streaming Tidal & Spotify ? @blisshifi Thanks that’s cool that you had the KWA150 in monos. The Modwright pre 36.5 pre is definitely a pre I am looking at. I am also looking at Audio Research preamplifiers such as the LS 28 and ref 5 & ref 5 SE in the used market. Does... | |
| Are higher end preamps worth the investment when you are only streaming Tidal & Spotify ? @kota1 The Dirac gives you the option to take a picture of FR graph which I always do but have no idea where it goes. Once I complete the project I delete it so not sure if I have those graphs saved somewhere on my Mac ? Anyway I will retest and... | |
| Are higher end preamps worth the investment when you are only streaming Tidal & Spotify ? @lalitk yep, Dan’s equipment is awesome and a great value but am in the used market unfortunately. I am keeping an eye out for his stuff. @ vonhelmholtz yeah that NAD C658 DAC Streamer is really a weak link but the DIRAC feature really helps wi... | |
| Flat Screen Television behind speakers I will not be able to keep the speakers out due to the room use however after pulling them out about 3 feet for a test I noticed the imaging was much more clear and succinct. As a compromise I then put he subs on the inside and the speakers on ... | |
| Flat Screen Television behind speakers @danager @rick_n Yes it’s a “dust cover”- Like that idea. Will wrap it up with a card and put it under the tree for my S.O. Yours truly… | |
| Flat Screen Television behind speakers Believe me, if I could have a dedicated listening room and pull those suckers off the wall 3-5 feet I would in a heartbeat. My house is 1400 sq feet. It kills me to envision how this system could sound in a proper room. Regarding the comforter ov... | |
| Need suggestions on efficient book shelf speakers for a Pass Labs XA3.5 I am going to look into some of these. Thanks for the suggestions. I think a small Rel sub would solve most of my problem but it would need to go where my hamper is lol. It’s a small room with lots of absorption- curtains & carpeting & b... | |
| Need suggestions on efficient book shelf speakers for a Pass Labs XA3.5 @audphile1 I actually have those benchmark-made cables where one end is rca and the other is balanced. Do you think those would work at all? Otherwise I might get some balanced cables and see. | |
| Need suggestions on efficient book shelf speakers for a Pass Labs XA3.5 I had a 150 watt class d amp previously and remember it being much louder at an 8/10 volume (using same speakers) . The amp is at a pleasant volume as it stands but it seems capped to my ears -volume wise. I have a Benchmark 2 Pre/Dac and a Blues... |
