| Directional wires/cables @jea48 Thanks a lot for posting the results from that article. As per my previous post I inadvertently installed my digital cable backwards once and my system literally sounded broken until I figured it out and installed it correctly. It was no... | |
| New Innuos Pulse, need assistance. Soix- My system was stated in initial post, short of speakers which are Sonus Faber and Dynaudio. I have a power conditioner (Isotek Sirius). Cardas Cables. Well, then the answer is clear. Stick with the Node it sounds better to you. Your ear... | |
| New Innuos Pulse, need assistance. It’s pretty hard to fathom the Pulse isn’t significantly better across the board than the Node. What’s the rest of the equipment in your system? My guess is the Pulse is just revealing the character of other components in your system, and in the... | |
| Xangsane Cryo OCC vs Sterling Silver XLRs I’d be very interested in your impressions when you get them in and burned in for a bit. | |
| Subwoofer with center channel Sounds like you’ve got your priorities straight in terms of more highly valuing 2-channel. 😜 If possible I’d have all four subs working in a swarm array for stereo assuming you could have both LFE and L/R line-level inputs connected to the SVS su... | |
| R2R next? Don't like ESS Depends what sound characteristics you’re looking for, and what’s your budget and are you looking for new or used. What are some of the DACs you’ve heard and didn’t like? All this is helpful info in making more meaningful and targeted recommenda... | |
| System advice There doesn’t seem to be as big of a difference between the original and Pulsar 2 as with the Perspectives, and some even seem to prefer the original so I’d have no problem going with the original Pulsars and save the $$$. Once you hear them you ... | |
| Subwoofer with center channel You’re missing a ton! IME the center speaker and subwoofer are the most important speakers by far in a multichannel system. Properly dialed in a good sub (or better, multiple subs) not only adds bass but also ambiance, imaging, 3D soundstage, bu... | |
| Best Used Tube Based Preamp $2k Or Under? Used Don Sachs preamps pop up occasionally around $2k. | |
| A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks I honestly can’t follow this. | |
| Looking for a simple system I’d go for the Atoll and get these Joseph Audio Pulsars. Best of luck. https://www.ebay.com/itm/186915696094 | |
| Directional wires/cables I guess I’m in the "It’s mostly BS" camp and I’ll leave it at that…I like to be proven wrong as it means that I got to learn something. I still question burn in with cables as this suggests that they will change with use. I’m pretty skeptical on ... | |
| Grimm MU2 Experience @mclinnguy Yeah, I understand there are some tangible benefits to combo units, but there’s really no getting around this one fact — if you buy a combo streamer/DAC/preamp you’re ultimately beholden to that designer’s tastes on all three. What bot... | |
| Grimm MU2 Experience I’m sure the MU2 is excellent, but that this level I’d want everything separate. | |
| Need a little help And with the B&W 706's, I'm inclined to think that you aren't gaining much, if anything, in the way of improvement with bi-amping them. You might work out better in selling the one of the Anthem's and the NAD and purchasing a true dedicated ... |
