| Upgrading from my Bluesound Node 2 streamer One can make decent improvements with a couple of tweaks to the Node 2i that I believe can make a component level upgrade to the sound of the Node 2i.The analog output is good but the coaxial digital output is better. I enjoy the solid copper Blue... | |
| Has anyone ever tried cables made with OCC (Ohno Continuous Cast) Copper? Lately, I've been preferring the Iconoclast OCC XLR cable over my favorite for many years, the Audioquest WEL. It does all the right things with regard to frequency extension, silent backgrounds, bass weight, smoothness, etc but I'm finding I'm re... | |
| Acrolink 8N-PC8100 Performante Power Cable ryder The 9700 just sounds different than the 8100. I was initially wowed by what the 8100 did and I thought it was better, overall, but with time I revised my opinion and realized it depended on different components and accessories in the system,... | |
| Acrolink 8N-PC8100 Performante Power Cable @bvdiman I don't have the 9900 yet - shipping from Japan to the USA is still restricted because of COVID.But I will compare the TC to the 9700 and 8100 and post my opinion after I do. I only brought up having the TC because the High Fidelity revi... | |
| Acrolink 8N-PC8100 Performante Power Cable endless402Hi! What's your take on those two?RyderI think you'll like having 2 of the same, a lot. Haven't we all used more expensive cables on less expensive gear haha? | |
| Furutech vs Audioquest Power Cables @b345t If you're still interested in feedback on these, I own the Furutech Nanoflux, Nanoflux NCF, and AQ Dragon power cables. I've demo'd the AQ Hurricane more than once to compare to the above. | |
| Acrolink 8N-PC8100 Performante Power Cable @Ryder Yes, and to put it another way.... because each one of those power cables does different things well, I felt that mixing one of each in this system diluted the strengths of using 2 of the same.Was it you that was communicating with me on A... | |
| Acrolink 8N-PC8100 Performante Power Cable @Ryder I think each one works best, together, at least in my system at this point. I have an integrated amp and SACD/DAC, so it's a simple system.Doing that reinforces and magnifies the qualities that each cable has. Mixing the cables in this syst... | |
| Chris Isaak - Baja Sessions CD. Sounds better than it should. Baja Sessions is also hdcd, as I recall, and the Oppo may be decoding it depending which model you have. Of course if you have the UDP-205, it’s the best player they ever made, imo, and exceeds the sound quality of their previous units, despite la... | |
| Looking for a speaker cable with a relaxed sound. Depending on your price range (and contradicting the posts above),Wireworld Platinum Eclipse 7 speaker cables are the most relaxed, least bright cables I've ever heard and they're all silver. That model is at least 50% off of original prices, if n... | |
| Technics SL-1210GAE Anniversary The table should be on par with the 1200G and 1200GAE models which it's based on. The new 1210GAE has at least one new feature with regard to turning the strobe light off. | |
| Hubbell 5362 Backwire vs Sidewire I back-wired my 4 Hubbells with 10 gauge stranded wire and other than sometimes taking a couple of tries to make sure I had the wire fully and evenly seated, I find the connection extremely secure once the screw is tightened down.I'm not sure if I... | |
| Streaming from Bluesound Node2i I do exactly what you're proposing. It sounds really great. I've been investigating other streamers to upgrade to but the Node 2i seems really good.The coaxial digital output sounded better than the optical in my system.The Node 2i does the first ... | |
| Acrolink 8N-PC8100 Performante Power Cable The replacement has been available for about a month, I think. It’s the Esoteric Mexcel 7N-PC9900http://www.esoteric.jp/products/catalog/pdf/7n-pc9900mexcel_en.pdf | |
| Acrolink 8N-PC8100 Performante Power Cable I purchased some of these and think they're quite good. Look up the "Singapore Hi-Fi Blog" for a review.Here's a bit of info in English, although it's in low resolution. https://upload.review33.com/2ndhand/201811/201811291312535900.jpg |
