| Midrange Increasingly Harsh Congrats! | |
| Streamer Selection - Thoughts Requested Please! When it comes to streaming, there are so many ways to skin the cat! @lalitk So true! I tried a Jitterbug with my Dragonfly Red in my HeadFi system years ago and it totally sucked the life out of the music and I returned it. Also, I’ve read t... | |
| Best USB cable upgrade for around $1000 Your Poiema looks pretty solid, so I’d be interested in your thoughts on how they compare once the Platinum is burned in. | |
| Planar headphones I was wondering if a pair of planar headphones comes close to the sound signature of a planar speakers, I’m looking at a pair of headphones in the $1000 range. No. In my experience headphones are just a totally different experience than listen... | |
| Digital add ons-airlens, matrix spdif, Innuous Phoenix net, Phoenix usb Ah, yet another unsolicited and shameless self-promotion post from one of our most treasured participants. Ehem. | |
| What would your "perfect speaker" sound like. Natural, balanced, and they disappear into the performance. Hope that’s brief enough. | |
| Digital add ons-airlens, matrix spdif, Innuous Phoenix net, Phoenix usb I’m not familiar with Wireworld interconnects and not sure what speaker cables you’re using, but I’d experiment with buying some used Acoustic Zen interconnects and speaker cables as, in my experience, they excel in the qualities you seem to be lo... | |
| Major innovative break through: The new NSMT Loudspeakers reference speaker I did not join this discussion to engage in irrelevant written sparring @fsonicsmith1 Then why the hell are you doing it? IMHO, and as a former reviewer myself (in recovery), Terry wrote a review describing as best he could what he heard, a... | |
| Digital add ons-airlens, matrix spdif, Innuous Phoenix net, Phoenix usb Thanks for detailing your system, and that helps a lot. And yes, as someone who recently posted their system A’gon definitely does not make it easy and should be made easier. It’d also help if you could specify more what improvements you’re look... | |
| Re-wiring the listening room: Questions Some thoughts/feedback I got from when I ran my dedicated lines… If you can, run at least three dedicated lines — one for digital, one for analog, and one for your amps (that you may prefer to run straight from the wall) as it’s not terribly ex... | |
| Streamer Selection - Thoughts Requested Please! Ditch Tidal witch to Qobuz. | |
| Used Which amp for B&W 802 Matrix series 3 around or under 1000? Go to hifishark — they list used equipment from all major sites including A’gon. A further benefit is you can see what past equipment sold for so you can get a good idea of a fair price range for any product. Happy hunting! | |
| Bryston Support They always get superb marks for customer service so not really all that surprised. I’m sure they get lotsa business because they stand by their products to this level, and deservedly so. | |
| Streamer Selection - Thoughts Requested Please! All else being equal, which it never is, I’d side with the Innuos Pulse. It’s a new model and incorporates Innuos’ latest thinking/tech and comes with their Sense app that gets very good reviews both for sonics and user interface and is constantl... | |
| Affordable SS that sound like Tubes Interesting that you mention his Mac mini. When Op states that he use to be 100% vinyl, but is now fully digital, but likely relies on a computer for streaming.. something is wrong with my understanding of the situation. @vonhelmholtz No, I t... |
