| HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SYSTEM IN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS @katzenjammer27 I haven't tried that SRV. I'll check it out tonight. I just got a new piece of gear (Gustard U18), so I've been going back through songs that I know well to see if the sound quality has improved. It does seem to add a bit of cla... | |
| HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SYSTEM IN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS @katzenjammer27 I bought the Dire Straits albums as they came out (I'm old). It was odd that I liked them because I was really into harder rock at the time. When Brothers in Arms came out, I would crank Money for Nothing and didn't care as much... | |
| Aftermarket fuse to tame a bright system? @gavin1977 I have two Synergistic Research cables (Kaleidoscope and Looking Glass) and an older XLO Ultra cable. I do seem to lose some sq with those. I also have a Morrow Audio MA-5. No real complaints about it. I have Core Power Technology ... | |
| Aftermarket fuse to tame a bright system? @gavin1977 Yes, the Harmonic Technology cable gives me all of the sound qualities that you mention with my current gear. Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL preamp, Coda amp, Innuos Zen Mk3 streamer, etc. It was recommended by a rep with the Cable Com... | |
| HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SYSTEM IN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS Dire Straits does sound great. I also like Natalie Merchant's Tigerlily and Tracy Chapman when I'm testing different components, etc. | |
| Aftermarket fuse to tame a bright system? I experimented with three different brands of pure silver cables that I bought used for a couple hundred dollars each. At first, I was impressed, but eventually decided that the top end was detailed, but too bright. Changing tubes in my preamp he... | |
| Gustard U18 with Gustard R26 dac? Nice grammar (mine). Lol. | |
| Gustard U18 with Gustard R26 dac? @soix Well, I ordered one from Amazon. They have a 30 day return policy, so I can send it to back if I can't notice any improvement. I also ordered a monoprice cable 12 inches long. I might get the DH Labs cable if I like the U18. | |
| A DAC for the Oppo 105 Looks like you have a great dac. Have you considered a new player? I have a Denon DCD-1700NE sacd player and I think it's excellent for the money. I could run it through my dac, but I like the internal dacs in the player. Denon may not be a bran... | |
| Gustard U18 with Gustard R26 dac? @soix Thank you very much. That's the information that I was looking for. 👍 I'll need to order a cable of some sort. All of the hdmi cables that I have are at least 6 feet. | |
| Solo streamer Can you add a second router? My internet comes into the house upstairs. I use an Asus router. I added a second Asus router downstairs close to my streamer. Now, I can hardwire to the streamer. | |
| Solo streamer @rvpiano I don't think you can go wrong with a 60 day return policy. You probably know this, but you might experiment with different cables before you make a final judgment. I don't have real expensive cables, but I can hear differences. I might ... | |
| Interconnects priority Cables, not cakes. I don't spend a lot on them, either. Lol. | |
| Interconnects priority @ghdprentice It's funny that you mention that. I've had the Harmonic Technology cable for a while. It was recommended by a rep with The Cable Company. I tried it with my previous gear and didn't care for it. It's been sitting in a box. On a whi... | |
| Solo streamer I really like my Innuos Zen Mk3. It has a CD ripping feature and built in memory. I find them useful. |
