| Upgrade Interconnects/Cables or…? I want to fill my room more, so around me…my primary objective is to open my front to back soundstage and possibly improve upon what I’ve already have. I don’t think it’s possible to achieve what you’re looking for with your speakers placed a... | |
| Upgrade Interconnects/Cables or…? That’s a lot of great information, but what’s really needed is what specific type of improvements you’re looking for. I’ll just say off the top that Cardas makes some really fine cables, but I tried the Cross in my system years ago and from what ... | |
| Looking for a true upgrade in sound quality You may have others who agree here, but your statements are contrary to the knowledge of a massive majority of network engineers, physicists, and other scientists, etc. @jji666 Classic denial. And yeah, there are tons of people here who agree... | |
| Looking for a true upgrade in sound quality What I said about streamers was that they weren't something to "match" with analog components as tone controls @jji666 No, in that other thread you literally said word for word that streamers have no sound just like you did about switches and n... | |
| Preamp suggestions for Atma-Sphere Class D Monoblocks As I wait for the Atma-Sphere MP-3, I am using a Bel Canto Dac2.8 as a preamp and the sound is nothing short of spectacular - without a doubt the best my system has ever sounded. Funny you say that. I demoed a DAC3.5VB in my system (great DAC ... | |
| Solo streamer @mdalton If the OP doesn’t hear a difference I’ll completely believe him as I said, but as he has good ears and a good system I highly doubt that will be the case. And yes, if someone can’t hear differences between streamers, like yourself, I do a... | |
| Looking for a true upgrade in sound quality Many people who actually understand networking are very skeptical of network tweaks. Switches and network cables don’t have a sound, except silence when not working. @jji666 Many people who understand networking refuse to just use their ears be... | |
| LAIV Harmony @kclone. Great to hear and thanks for the update. | |
| Solo streamer and if you don’t hear a difference, you’ll be accused of having inadequate hearing, an insufficiently resolving system, or both. @mdalton Absolutely not, at least not by me. If the OP doesn’t hear an improvement I’d be pretty shocked but I’ll ... | |
| Speaker question +1 @m669326 that the ATCs are less finicky about placement, and the Ushers I recommended definitely appreciate more breathing room to fully express what they can do, but so do ProAcs. And yes, ATCs are not the best choice for low-level listening ... | |
| Small footprint subwoofer Two final thoughts re: the SB1000 Pro… I respectfully disagree you don’t need a sub that goes below 30Hz for music even in a smaller room. There’s actually a lot of info down there that unintuitively contributes greatly to significantly better ... | |
| Solo streamer Congrats on your excellent new streamer! Please report back with your impressions that I suspect will ruffle the feathers here among those who think streamers don’t make much difference or can’t make a difference with your DAC. Of course they’ll... | |
| Least expensive plug-in power conditioner that works I’d just get this that should be more than fine… https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650075208-audience-adeptresponse-ar1p/ | |
| Speaker question Usher also makes the Mini One that’s very comparable in size/weight to the ATCs and are only $4090, in case you didn’t see those. https://soundapproach.com/usher-dancer-mini-one-tower-speaker-pair.html | |
