| Seeking Opinions on Nordost Cables Some people find that the Nordost Heimdall 2 is the sweet spot when comparing cost vs overall performance of their lineup. As previously mentioned, some cables can be system dependent. Since I don’t own a system worth a lot of money, I opted for t... | |
| New streamer antigrunge2 +1 You make an excellent point! | |
| **Advice Needed**Damage To Imported Speakers** Remember, once you attempt to repair the cabinet, all bets are off and you may void the warranty. I would mail a certified and regular postage letter to the manufacturer and audio shop. Document phone calls and attempts as well. If you don’t recei... | |
| New streamer The Luman app may not be the best proprietary app on the market or the most intuitive. However, I find it fairly simple to use with Qobuz, especially after a few weeks of use. The user experience may boil down to a person’s technical skills and ea... | |
| New streamer If you are looking for a no frills streamer, no fancy screen, internal DAC or preamp, the Lumin U2 mini is a solid performer within your budget. The mini is built and designed to accept available updates pushed out by Lumin. The Bricasti M5 may al... | |
| Upgraded my cables and they transformed my system!!! English 101, when anyone makes a comment regarding any matter on this site, it is “their opinion.” You do not have to state what is naturally implied when making a comment or expressing your opinion. Personally, I have not interpreted any comments... | |
| Upgraded my cables and they transformed my system!!! I’m definitely not an expert but most audiophiles may agree, the quality of your cables should match your system. In chocaholic’s case, the Rocket 88 speaker cables paired with the Revels and lower cost interconnects may match his system and sound... | |
| Tubed preamps and Power amps- How old is too old??? I agree. You really need to be asking this question on the Conrad Johnson Owners group. There, you will find a lot of very knowledgeable audiophiles who have experience with CJ equipment. The LS17 is a classic. At one time, it was highly regarded ... | |
| Please DM me to explain removing my posts I had a similar experience. Another member made a very condescending remark on a post. Appointed himself the English teacher for the day. He is a longstanding member and probably didn’t like the fact that I called him out. I’m sure he prompted the... | |
| If Conrad Johnson still made a DAC it would sound like?? Sorry, I thought you had CJ equipment. Stick with this group and audition your top 2 or 3 options. Best of luck. | |
| If Conrad Johnson still made a DAC it would sound like?? Switch over to the Conrad Johnson Owners Group. You may find more specific information regarding the type of DAC you are looking for that will pair well with CJ. I’ve had a Lampizator Amber 3 for a few years. There are a few users on CJOG that hav... | |
| DAC RECOMMENDATIONS PLEASE @lordrootman, you hit the nail on the head. Don’t hurt his feelings or he will report you to admin and have the post censored/deleted. | |
| DAC RECOMMENDATIONS PLEASE If you are interested in a tube DAC, Lampizator is worth consideration. The basic unit, new Amber 4 is built like a tank. I’ve enjoyed my Amber 3 for a few years. I have it paired with a Lumin U2 mini and Conrad Johnson preamp and amp. | |
| Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ Cleeds is correct, bits are bits if you have a decent switch. IMO, even a $600 reconfigured Netgear or Cisco “audio grade” switch is a waste of money - no meaningful value added. I’ve just listened to different switches and spoke with too many net... | |
| Eversolo a6 and Lampizator I own the Lampi Amber 3. It’s been a strong performer without encountering any problems as previously mentioned. Obviously, the Amber 3 now the 4 is Lamp’s base model. Lampizator highly recommends the use of the USB interconnect for a streamer. I’... |
