| Warm Sounding Portable Headphone Dac I use an AudioQuest Dragonfly Red that works really well, but I’d categorize it as neutral rather than warm sounding. You might also check out this Cayin that uses R2R and may be a little warmer sounding. Best of luck. https://www.amazon.com/C... | |
| Power Amp or DAC - weakest link, help please? Adding a couple subs may provide what you’re looking for. | |
| Help getting back to enjoying music and movies in one system For better vocal clarity for movies I’d suggest getting a center speaker like the LS50 Meta center. You have a good-sounding AVR, so replacing it with another AVR wouldn’t likely do much for you and adding a good integrated with a HT bypass like ... | |
| Rogue Sphinx....good match with Merlin TSM? What sound characteristics/improvements are you looking for, and what’s your budget and are you looking for new or used? | |
| Dumb question......why do you need a preamp? Take any solid state integrated and hook a really good tube preamp to it and you’ll have your answer. | |
| 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. |
