| whats the very best sounding cables for realistic money Agree with f1 fractals: I got f1 fractal XLR ICs today and right out of box, they are wonderful. They do good in everything. I am now trying multiple cables in my system to get best, and so far this has been in the top, and more importantly the le... | |
| Uptone Audio EtherREGEN review Agree with improvement with etheregen and fiber optic cable. My set up is Router: ethernet cable >> Ubiquiti Unifi: fiber optic >> ubiquity unifi: ethernet cable >> etheregen: ethernet cable >> Server/streamer (Antipodes CC... | |
| Remarkably better sound possible with just 1 system component change? @cycles2 I also have simple < 75$ fiber optic converter in addition to ethergen. I have seen significant improvement in this “switch”. I don’t have lumin x1, but with my streamer, using fiber optic + etheregen was much better than fiber optic a... | |
| Remarkably better sound possible with just 1 system component change? If I were you, this is what I will do:1. Change to Lumin X1 (used one for ~ 8.5-9 K). 2. Get fiber optic ethernet connection, with or without ethernet switch like etheregen (strongly recommended) (< 750 $).3. Definite yes for room treatment.You... | |
| Speaker upgrade @sounds_real_audio I have really appreciated the WB ACT technology and one of the beautiful looking speakers too. I was not able to audition them close to me and with my busy schedule, I was not interested in searching for them. I am now happy wit... | |
| New silversmith fidelium cable Looks like fideliums also are on the list for "stereotimes list of 2020`s most wanted components". Not surprising though. If the Stereophile or abolutesound reviews them, am sure they get great reviews too. | |
| Should I keep Naim Uniti Nova as streamer/dac or trade for a new streamer/dac no worries. There is always preference in sound quality. For me, Luxman 590 was much better. | |
| Should I keep Naim Uniti Nova as streamer/dac or trade for a new streamer/dac I sold nova longtime back. I never mentioned nova sounded better than luxman 590. No way: luxman 590 is different level compared to nova. All I said was for the price with all features, nova sounded good. I also mentioned in that post that instead... | |
| NAD M33 or NAIM UNITI NOVA? That’s what I said. Don’t go by low wattage of Naim nova. They rate it very conservatively. I used them with my aerial acoustics 7t, which is 89 db, with ease (never crossed 50% on volume level: for loud music, max 55%). It is the quality of the w... | |
| Recommendation for new cables I recommend Silver Smith fidelium speaker cables (1k). They are amazing for the price and are truly reference quality. I have tried many speaker cables (3-5K) and this bested them all. Read reviews too, they are all true, every word of it. I did n... | |
| NAD M33 or NAIM UNITI NOVA? I had Naim Uniti Nova and can vouch for it. They are amazing for the price and they sound very musical. Don't go by their wattage, as they are very conservatively rated. They can drive most speakers with ease. They look and feel luxurious too. You... | |
| Speaker upgrade @musicaddict Thanks. Yes, with more break in, they are getting better and "opening up" more space and air around the instruments. This feels like an end game Speakers to me. | |
| Speaker upgrade @mtrot I have not heard the older MAs. I have heard the current MA PL300II and PL500II, So, I cannot talk about the first generation PL models. I just commented to the post asking whether, these are bright and THEY ARE NOT. The MA PL500II, are ver... | |
| Speaker upgrade @danvignau i agree with you on how people think their gears are best. Everybody is guilty of that. Also, the fact that there is no one speaker that is perfect, no matter the price, says that there is subjective component and preference for certain... | |
| Speaker upgrade Update: I finally got my monitor audio PL500II and the speakers are just wow, even new, right out of box. Amazing speakers. The mids are smooth and magical with addictive sound. Very musical with big soundstage (really big). Worked around with spe... |
