| Flexible Power Cords I haven’t bought powerchords yet, but at research neotech and furutech were intresting. Audio connexion/ parts connexion had a bogo on audience f3, last time I looked. Canadian based and not sure if there are tariffs, but it might be worth a look.... | |
| Do you trust your ears more than measurements? I'm leaning towards warm and clean. I also run and integrated streamer/dac, so recording compression and sound levels make a difference. For instance, I think my aq's cables sound more veiled than my low end audience, but then again it's much full... | |
| Looking for integrated solid state amp for daily usage I’m a pretty big Nelson Pass fan. He’s been said to have a more tube like sound in solid state. So certain adcoms, and thresholds, not sure, its been awhile, but I believe threshold is the name, not positve. Lol Thresholds are pretty hard to come ... | |
| AV Preamp upgrade for 2.2 analogue audio help! If you didn't need the filters I would suggest an adcom by Nelson pass. But its mostly xlr's too, but has some rca You might look into Prima or priemer somthing like that. The older gear may cost 500 to 1,000. Its clear as a bell. I'd makes sure... | |
| 2024 Audio System Wish List 1. Power conditioner or power regenerator. Aq Niagra 5000 or ps audio p12, leaning towards p12. 2. Audience front row or cardas clear or clear beyond xlrs in .5m and 1m lengths. 3. And maybe 4 cardas pc. 4. A bass trap and more aqoustic panels.... | |
| Suggested Power Cable for Streamer It would think the power consumtion and impedence of the streamer plays into factors. Not sure if this could fall under low eddy current ideals or not. | |
| Suggested Power Cable for Streamer I read about cardas copper and they have a vague history. Some of it may have included different companies at different times. I don't know if shorter is necesarily better here, but assume it does. I hear it can make a huge difference in other cab... | |
| Intermittent audio dropouts when streaming Qobuz Hi Res files on Lumin streamer I run a cary and have a few problems with qobuz. It gets interupted once in a great while. My main problem is from app to dac, but I am pretty happy. Sometimes there's some problem solves to go through. I once read not to log out because logging i... | |
| Opinions on audio equipment and brown outs What's your power consumption, audio gear class, and speaker efficency? Mine is 300 watts per mono with 87% speaker efficency. If I hit 122 from start it will knock my monster meter down to 118 or 117. I have to wait till my meter is around 124 to... | |
| Do you trust your ears more than measurements? @mdalton oh but they do have car wash mixes. Certain soaps that are hotter for cleans and then cooler mixes that are cooler for sheens. Each at a price tier. Lol seriously, its similar to audio. | |
| Opinions on audio equipment and brown outs Yeah, I get to 117 and I'll shut her down. The problem with me is extreme. Kind of like the problem with surge protectors. A gradual increase or decrease dependin on the subject, and the equipment doesn't work by those designs. Do you ever run at ... | |
| Do you trust your ears more than measurements? I don't necessarily think it's a constant, rather it be high emf's, power inconsitencies, data lags, or just mood, the changes effect my reality. So ears are patially out. Don't measure, but look at some specs, which seem flamboyant. I like it wa... |
