| Room Treatment suppliers @hilde45 Interesting and thanks for the link — it’s bookmarked. | |
| Yes, cables do make a difference -- regardless of price... “flat earther” denotes someone who disregards all scientific evidence for the earth in fact being spherical, while demanding no scientific evidence to support the belief earth is flat. @benanders In the audio world “flat earther,” and as it’s u... | |
| Floorstanding speaker experiences/recommendations in the $12-25k range Given your preferences and amp I’d give a very high recommendation to the Verity Audio Otello. Verity flies under the radar a bit, but they remain some of the best all-around speakers I’ve ever heard as they’re supremely natural and lifelike soun... | |
| Noise coming from subwoofers and centre channel I still don’t have an answer that if the power strip is plugged in via a 3-prong plug and the projector is then plugged into the strip with a cheater plug if that’s still an issue. If the power strip is grounded I don’t see why plugging a compone... | |
| Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw? @vthokie83 Congrats! Very much look forward to any pics and listening impressions once they have some hours on them. | |
| Old phones as streaming sources @lanx0003 I’ll just say my experience was way different. I thought using my iPhone into my DAC using Qobuz sounded really good. Then I brought up my old Oppo player to use as a CD transport into my DAC and playing CDs totally eclipsed the perfor... | |
| Comparing streamer/DACs between $5-10k At your price level, and unless you’re extremely space constrained, get a separate streamer and DAC. Your future upgrade potential on both counts will be much easier, and you’ll very likely get better performance. Both the DAC and streamer are cri... | |
| Can a DAC do double duty? Yup. That’s it. | |
| DAC/Streamer/PreAmp As you asked offline about the Backert Rhumba Extreme and ARC preamps I’ll share this review that compares the Rhumba vs. the ARC LS17SE, which was priced $2k less at the time but just as an indication of the different sound characteristics… http... | |
| Floorstanding speaker experiences/recommendations in the $12-25k range Really need to know what improvements (besides bass) you’re looking for and what sound characteristics are most important to you. Also, how big is your room and are you looking for new or used. Love your amp BTW. Thanks for any further info. | |
| AARP article on streaming hirez audio Yeah, touting hi-res audio and then recommending that you can play it through a $299 streaming speaker and appreciate the difference is pretty silly, but it’s AARP so not really surprising. Hope a lotta their elderly subscribers didn’t shell out ... | |
| "Happy To Be Stuck With You!!!" Not really sure what the point of this was, but it’s like the third or fourth time you’ve posted to tout your Revels so I think we got it by now. Glad you love your wonderful speakers, and by all means enjoy! | |
| Noise coming from subwoofers and centre channel I only use a powerbar...I am happy to have made the discovery but I do not want to put my system and our security at risk....with the cheater plug... But, your entire system already is at risk as you’ve got no surge protection and there are man... | |

| Yes, cables do make a difference -- regardless of price... I also hear differences in cables, and I only have one instance where try as I might I could discern no difference between two cables. Specifically it was between the Acoustic Zen Satori and the Audience AU24 speaker cables, and this was the only ... |
