| New Innuos Pulse, need assistance. In my experience, most DACs are optimized for one particular input. Coax vs. USB vs. AES inputs can sound very different with what the DAC ultimately outputs. Experiment with the different source inputs to see what is most pleasing to you. Also... | |
| High pitch buzz in speakers after adding some LEDs High pitched buzzing is often a grounding issue. I would start there. | |
| Chinese "Audiophile" Fuses Sadly, you usually get what you pay for. | |
| A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks The common thought is that: High quality power cords act as "filters" Consistency of cords, not mixing and matching, yields the best results I have found the combination above to be correct and that it both lowers the noise floor and allows fo... | |
| Hegel hum? Props to all who responded above. Very thoughtful and correct advice. If you’re not hearing a hum/buzzing from the speakers your concerns should be minimal. The Hegel integrated amps don’t turn off/on. They switch between standby (very low power... | |

| Subs? @goducks44 Great topic and qood question. I would strongly favor getting two subs over one sub. If you have room to place the subs outside of your lovely B&Ws it will stretch the sound stage and you will very pleased. I have a room, slig... | |

| Retirement integrated amp for a “fiscal conservative”…..Part 1: I have a plan $8k might get you close to a used Gryphon Diablo 300. Wink. | |
| Would like to get more bass out of my B&W 801 series 2 speakers The Adcom GFAs (aka GreatF&ckingAmp) were good in the day but they are very, very old and would need to be recapped etc. Is it worth it? Will they be reliable? Questionable at best. Look for something more modern, and good bang for the buc... | |
| Would like to get more bass out of my B&W 801 series 2 speakers IMO, you need waaay more power to dig out the bottom two octaves in that big room. Look for a very high current (high damping factor also) class A/B amp. | |
| Got Innuous, now a DAC I think you may not get everything the Zen has to offer if you spend less on you DAC than the streamer. The DAC will have more bearing on what you hear than the streamer. Take a hard look at Holo Audio and Denafrips. They should be a very ... | |
| Advice on making a speaker change I would say jump! But it's hard to say jump into which pool since you didn't share any budget. | |
