| New cables... Yeah, I’d give them around 200 hours to really settle in, and then if you still have them put the old cables back in and see what you think (let the old cables settle in for a few minutes before serious listening). I’d think you’d hear a meaningf... | |
| Digital with same soundstage as analog I have a modest setup, but the analog sounds good to me. Question, can I get the same soundstage with digital by adding a DAC or Streamer? The short answer is yes. At present you’re comparing a >$4000 vinyl rig to an old $900 CD/SACD player... | |
| what's a good Gan / Class D option under 3k? Nilai or Ncorex500? Several people seem happy with this Orchard Audio GaN amp… https://orchardaudio.com/shop/starkrismon_stereo_ultra_500w_stereo_amp/ | |
| Sota Sapphire and Isolation? Congrats! | |
| Should I connect my OPPO BDP 105 to my PontisII? Which one if I may ask? | |
| Going Tubing Here is an excerpt from John Atkinson’s Measurements section for your speakers… “The One.R’s impedance is specified as being "compatible with 8 ohms." The solid trace in fig.1 reveals that the impedance magnitude ranges between 3 and 6 ohms for ... | |
| Anybody have Experience with Alta Audio Alyssa Speaker @stuartk Unfortunately I’ve never had the opportunity to hear any Fritz speakers but have read nothing but very positive things. Given that they’re sold direct I’d guess the Carbon 7s would sell for about the same price as the original Pulsars, an... | |
| Anthem MRX 740 8K as an upgrade to my Denon AVR-X3700H @carlsbad2 Wow! That must be quite an amp — congrats. Is it by chance a Berning design? I figured you were using the Lampi as a pre for 2-channel. Have you ever considered or tried using a good stereo pre? Just curious. | |
| Anthem MRX 740 8K as an upgrade to my Denon AVR-X3700H @carlsbad2 What are you using as a preamp into the Decware Zen? | |
| Should I connect my OPPO BDP 105 to my PontisII? Definitely connect the SPDIF out from the Oppo to the Pontus as it’ll sound much better than the Oppo’s analog outs. Don’t discount the importance of the digital cable as it’ll make a big impact on what you ultimately hear. If in budget I’d very h... | |
| Denafrips Terminator 2 + Hermes DDC vs T+A DAC 200 Didn’t you own a Pontus if memory serves? Both excellent DACs so hard to see going wrong either way. I added an Iris to my Musician Pegasus NOS R2R DAC (that shares some DNA with the Pontus) and the improvement was substantial in terms of imagin... | |
| Loud pop/screech when powering on amp I actually saw that McCormack on Audiomart. However that one is up there in age as well, no? And seller has it rated 7/10. A little hesitant but that one is definitely on my list. Think that’s a solid amp? McCormack amps are very solid and reli... | |
| Loud pop/screech when powering on amp I’m waiting on a response from AR. I may just cut my losses and try to find another 1Kish 5 channel. If you decide to cut losses you should jump on this — excellent amp at a very attractive price… https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650080066-m... | |
| Anthem MRX 740 8K as an upgrade to my Denon AVR-X3700H Not running at all, just no desire to waste my time on nothing nor to unnecessarily derail the OP’s thread any further. If you wanna flesh this out more I’d encourage you to start a new thread entitled “Prepros smack all your 2 channel purist gea... | |
| Anthem MRX 740 8K as an upgrade to my Denon AVR-X3700H @deep_333 I learned a long time ago not to wrestle in the mud with a pig because the pig likes it, so we’ll just agree to disagree on this and go on with life as we see fit. To each his own. |
