| A Skeptics Digital Upgrade Journey Just wanted to say thank you (and thanks to everyone here) for sharing what you’ve done with your digital setup. It’s added confirmation of what careful attention to digital front end adjustment can do 🙏🏼 | |
| Budget amp that will give Magnepan 3.6Rs better depth of soundstage The room would need addressing before considering more power, but a better amp can make some significant improvements to the presence, dynamics and stage. What about wood diffusion behind the speakers along the front wall and then on the first... | |
| Why does pulling out main speakers from wall improve sound? Even in a small room, getting those drivers out at least 32 inches from the front walls and side walls will be a dramatic, almost miraculous effect on the stage depth and width. Transients and micro details (trails) are only possible for that real... | |
| HELP!!!! Newbie looking for a decent 2 channel power amp in the $1,000 range I was originally considering the LSA Warp 1, but ended up with a GoldNote PA 10. and I’m loving it. Sort of a quasi GaN Mosfet (sort of class D). I find it neutral to warm for the most part. It can handle dips no problem, and can be found on sale ... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused This really should be a case by case scenario discussion. Definitely not a black and white topic. Especially with the advent of some very nice active component “systems” now available, and being designed by several different companies - boutique a... | |
| Convincing your local dealer to let you try speakers at home +1 laryi If it’s getting up there in price, I would think there would need to be an understanding that you would be purchasing something from the brick and mortar at the end of your trial. I mean, a pair of used bookshelf speakers? No problem. I’... | |
| Help optimizing my streaming setup As far as a (potential) single cable upgrade, wondering about this one. Grounded on the router (switch) side. Wondering how this would compare to a galvanic device? | |
| Help optimizing my streaming setup A member on audiophile style recommended this. He explained only using one (just before the streamer) worked better than two (one at each end of the cable run). Very cheap, and he said it works well. I have yet to try it. @jerryg123 that converter... | |
| HoloAudio STREAMER is out now i know I’m becoming a broken record here…but might as well get this instead: | |
| Recommendations for good sounding streamer Don’t know where your budget would land, but the Pi2design Mercury streamer is outstanding. I’ve got the first iteration at $600, but the version 2 has some additional improvements at $800. Blows my Allo Digione out of the water. It is a bit fiddl... | |
| Do Streamer only devices really impact sound quality? Simply put… they can all sound different from one another. If you cannot hear the difference between one streamer and another, then it could be a question of the associated equipment? But even a low cost system should reveal the difference. I us... | |
| Balanced vs. Single Ended Interconnects I’d recommend the “World’s Best Cables” as a solid trial for xlr’s using quality mogami or canare cabling. They’re also very well terminated, most with neutrik connectors. Was a bit skeptical until I purchased a set and saw how well they’re made. ... | |
| Streamer/DAC - Where is the value? Kind of back to your original consideration, the newer Auralic G1.1 transport might be worth checking out. It’s supposed to be outfitted with a better power supply than the dac version (Tarun the British Audiophile did a good comparison to the ear... | |
| Thoughts about the "Cheapaudioman" on YouTube @johnah5 Man…I wish I could come by and hear those! All the way down in Jax Fl, unfortunately. I remember checking those out via their affiliate company website - Role Audio - when ordering some plinths for some totem arrows I had a while back. ... | |
| Thoughts about the "Cheapaudioman" on YouTube +1 @curtdr I too look for that certain value proposition in equipment that stretches far past the price point, and Randy has brought some very well designed components and speakers into mind’s eye. He also encourages the diy journey as a means t... |
