| Cable recommendation between Dac and Integrated amp We can give recommendations, but no one can tell you what is best in your system. e.g. I had .5 meter Wireworld Platinum series 7 XLR cables. I recently tried an Audioquest Niagara 1 meter XLR. In my system, my wife and I preferred the Niagara. I ... | |
| JEFF ROWLAND AERIS WITH PSU AND AURENDER W20 OR ESOTERIC N-01 You can send Guido a message through Audiogon. He has the passion and knowledge regarding Rowland components to lead you in the right direction. If the PSU improves the Aeris as Guido describes, I submit getting the Aries is a no brainer. | |
| JEFF ROWLAND AERIS WITH PSU AND AURENDER W20 OR ESOTERIC N-01 Guido can provide his opinion of the Aeris DAC with the PSU. I have the JR 625 S2 amp, Corus preamp, and had the Aeris DAC. In lieu of getting the PSU to go with my Aeris, I decided to sell it. I purchased a Chord Dave DAC and couldn't be happier... | |
| Power Cords highstream,I don't know anyone that will loan me cables for two weeks. In all honesty I just don't have the time to audition something over a two week period. I know it may not be the perfect way to audition cables, but it's my only option.It my a... | |
| Magico S5 vs KEF Blade 2 vs TAD Evo One vs YG Kipod II Sig w/pwr bass I’ll never understand why some resort to name calling on Audiogon? Of that's right, we must act like one big clique...everyone must agree to the same thing. I've heard subtle changes with break in, but never night and day. | |
| Magico S5 vs KEF Blade 2 vs TAD Evo One vs YG Kipod II Sig w/pwr bass My comments aren't about Magico or any manufacture, but I have some doubts about break in. To me it's more believable that our ears get accustom to the sound. For me, I either like something or I don't. | |
| Power Cords A friend that I meet through Audiogon sent me an Audioquest Niagara XLR interconnect cable to try. Several months ago he came to my house and listened to my system. He thought the Niagara would be a good fit. Again, to my ears cables sound differe... | |
| What was the first system you heard that made you think the high end made sense Big Krell amplifiers and Martin Logan Statement speakers. I can't recall the other components. | |
| Power Cords highstream,I respect your opinion. I’m sorry, $3000 for a cable is not cheap. After it settles for 48-72 hours from movement it should be okay to audition. It’s my understanding that the Shunyata NR cables are already broken-in and don't need to b... | |
| Interconnect Cables I just received an Audioquest Niagara interconnect cable. I'll post comments in a couple of days. | |
| Power Cords I'm happy with my Antipodes DS GT, but my friend insisted on getting me a DX 3 to try. I preferred the DS GT over the DX 2. Will see how the DX 3 compares to my DS GT. | |
| Power Cords You’re more than welcome to visit me when you come to SA. My system has changed a little since your last visit. How is your system sounding after all of your updates? How's the Antipodes DX 3? | |
| Power Cords All my comments are a reflection of my analysis in my system, with my ears. For you to say " IMHO to flatly say Shunyata power cords were aimed at the mids and top ends of the bandwidth as to their best attributes is absurd. This is again, IMO an... | |
| Interconnect Cables stringreen,"Why would you not continue with Wireworld?" I may continue to use Wireworld. I'll repeat, I'm confident that my components are set and I'm trying to figure out if I need to change my cables. I was told my weakest link were my Wireworld... | |
| Interconnect Cables auxinput,I agree Silver can sound "thin" compared to copper. It's not that I'm trying to get more of anything in particular. I just want to see if trying different cables will yield better results. I think you make a good point and you have convin... |
