| I'm confused - Different music...different speakers? @ghdprentice looking forward to experimenting with the REL @georgeab this is also my memory - epic recording and alas....my system doesn't do it justice @asiaaudiosoc interesting and I suppose that is my first post and my "confusion" Maybe it's su... | |
| I'm confused - Different music...different speakers? So it appears I'm looking at subwoofers. A friend has a REL to loan me and I'll give it a try. I should qualify my complaint about the Totems. They have been very enjoyable for the last year I have owned them. My system has undergone a lot of ch... | |
| I'm confused - Different music...different speakers? Thanks every one. A lot here to think about. I should say I listen to a lot less rock - preference is really jazz and classical. I'm also not looking for outright volume. I did roll out the 12Au7 preamp tube several times over the last year. Star... | |
| RCA interconnect recommendation StuartK also looking forward to your experience with the silvers | |
| RCA interconnect recommendation Thanks @stuartk871, I understand this and thank you for the Audio Art reference. I was unaware of them. Regards | |
| Opinions On DACs Around 1,000$ I feel your pain. Ah this topic which had, and still has me scratching my head. I started getting back into music after a long absence during Covid,,,,,I was out of work for nearly a year, so of course why not put together a system. Anyway, long s... | |
| Trouble Understanding an Ad. Moon website explains it fairly well. From my memory the Mind is a separate component to turn the DAC into a streamer | |
| RCA interconnect recommendation Soix Yes I will pick of an AZ silver at some point, maybe after the holidays. Other priorities are kicking in at the moment but this has been great fun | |
| RCA interconnect recommendation @fastfreight Yes agree with you and I may still audition some more cables from the Cable Company. And yet another update: I played Bill Evans Live at the Vanguard on my TT the other night and it just completely sings. Then I switched the Zen cable... | |
| RCA interconnect recommendation @decooney Thanks - no sidetrack at all. Yes I briefly played with a few tubes, in fact I have box sitting here of matched tubes - gold lions, rca's and a few others. I tried a reissued Mullard in the preamp spot and it was awful - not listenable ... | |
| RCA interconnect recommendation Thanks ghdprentice. I think what I am also hearing is the difference between good, really good recordings and not so good recordings. Playing some jazz tonight - all Blue Note series. Dexter Gordon's One Flight Up has always sounded superb, as do... | |
| How do you know when a stereo sounds good? I get home from long and difficult days and the first thing I do is hit the power switch on my amp, make an espresso, sit down and the whole place disappears. That and how many notices I get from the Condo board warning me...... | |
| RCA interconnect recommendation Something of an update. The Acoustic Zen Matriz II arrived just before Thanksgiving and I managed to get them installed although it didn't exactly go as planned. I had initially intended to install them an the Antelope DAC - the connectors I think... | |
| RCA interconnect recommendation More excellent advice - Thanks @gary_c I’m going to hold on The Cable Company for now but you’ve given me what I need to understand how it works. There was some thought earlier which brought me to the AZ cables and the suggestion was to use the Ma... | |
| RCA interconnect recommendation @soix thanks I like this recomendation. It will be a fun learning experience. @safebelayer sound thoughts - thanks @kellyp assuming you are asking about input impedance on the amp line in? Thanks evveryone |
