| Review of Mad Scientist 'First Nano Power Cable' Always been interested in Mad Scientist and heard nothing but good things so look forward to your thoughts. Do they offer a trial period? | |
| svs subwoofer Incidentally you’d be better off posting this under the Speakers category instead of Music as you’ll get more responses. | |
| Bluesound Node130 LPS upgrade... @rtilden I think because you already have the Mesh node I’d try that first with a good Ethernet cable you can return. Unfortunately I haven’t compared any but would go with a Veritas Mirus or DH Labs Revelation just going by positive user feedba... | |
| svs subwoofer Agree to go with sealed over ported, and get two subs if you have the space as the benefits of two subs will very likely outweigh spending the same on one more expensive sub. For example, I’d get two SB1000 Pro subs over one SB3000. Just my $0.0... | |
| Bluesound Node130 LPS upgrade... @rtilden You should get a Wi-Fi extender or Mesh system and run a decent Ethernet cable from that to your Node. It’s not all that expensive, and it bypasses the Node’s Wi-Fi receiver and many find this provides a meaningful improvement. Glad yo... | |
| T+A Class D Amps ( M200 or A200)? The M33 is no slouch so from that perspective it’s not too surprising you’re pretty happy overall with what you’re hearing. But there’s a big difference between liking the sound being truly moved and captivated by it, and IME that’s the next leve... | |
| T+A Class D Amps ( M200 or A200)? You’ve got nice speakers and sounds like the M33 isn’t really doing it for you. Reading between the lines it sounds like you’re feeling like the sound is a little anemic/thin sounding, lacks some life/emotion and could use more heft, weight, tona... | |
| T+A Class D Amps ( M200 or A200)? taking the NAD C399 that currently runs the Revels and using it just as a pre-amp/streamer/DAC (which it is pretty well suited to, despite lacking balanced outputs) and for a pair of T+A M200 mono blocks for the Epicons. I didn’t read your post... | |
| T+A Class D Amps ( M200 or A200)? Really depends on what specific improvements you’re looking for and what sound characteristics are most important to you if you could share that critical info. There doesn’t look to be much by way of reputable reviews out there on these amps so a... | |
| $500 used power cord for Lumin power supply I’d try this Ice Age PC that gets very good reviews, is well designed/constructed and cryo treated, and they offer free returns (less return shipping). And at $300 it’s well under your budget. Best of luck. https://iceageaudio.com/ice-age-audio... | |
| Digital Room Correction: Where in the chain? At that price I wouldn’t buy it without an in-home demo. My experience is really good room correction can be more than worth the additional A-D-A conversion, but it can obviously vary depending on system, room, level of treatment, etc. The other... | |
| Wasted Years. That plus millions of songs at my fingertips has really made me enjoy the music and not think so much about hardware. @oddiofyl A corollary of that, at least for me, is that I’m finding a ton of great new music that’s also very well recorded (... | |
| The verdict - Burmester 232 is worth MUCH MUCH MUCH more than its price!!! Thanks for the thought but just glad you’re happy and that it all worked out. When your credit card stops throbbing from all your recent purchases your nice new LTA DAC would give you even more with a better streamer, but you already know that. ... | |
| Wasted Years. When I listen to music that’s well recorded I listen on my big rig. When I’m in the mood to listen to really good music that’s not well recorded I enjoy it on a Bluetooth speaker or with my earbuds and therein lies the peace. I refuse to “dumb d... | |
| The law of diminshing returns? At what point, do you say, no more, Basta? That’s really only answerable on an individual basis after listening to a given product preferably and optimally in your own system. Fortunately DACs lend themselves well to buying used, which to me i... |
