| NEED TO REPLACE OLD FAITHFUL- WHICH AMP. SHOUD I CHOOSE I think you should consider giving a listen to some of the better GaN amps out there from the likes of AGD and Atma-Sphere. By all accounts they are outstanding amps that do an excellent job of combining many of the virtues of tubes and solid sta... | |
| Recommendations please! @nymarty I sent my DNA 0.5 Rev A to SMcAudio for the GT22 upgrade (no added options), which is the full rebuild plus the Gravity Base Jr. and should be getting it back very soon, and if you’d like I can relay my thoughts. My 0.5 died due to what ... | |
| Need cable advice tome reduces mids How far are your speakers pulled our from the front wall, and how much do you have them toed in? Sometimes changing upstream equipment necessitates changing speaker placement to account for the different voicing of the new gear. Hey, at least it... | |
| Accuphase dac 60 Welcome to the machine/insanity! For this and future posts it’s best if you can provide details about what improvements you’re looking for over what you have now and what sound characteristics are most important to you so you get more targeted an... | |
| Need cable advice tome reduces mids Wire is not a tone control! @jasonbourne52 and I do not see eye to eye on much, but in this particular case I agree. Especially because your issue seems relatively so pronounced it’s better to attack it at the source, which is why several of... | |
| Streamer Upgrade You can access Spotify for Innuos via a third party app, which is also the case with Qobuz that you need to access through mconnect HD that I actually prefer because it is very similar in layout/function to the Qobuz site so very low learning curv... | |
| Recommendation for Headphones Just fyi, in another post a member was looking for similar sound characteristics and I also recommended Audeze to him, but he actually ended up preferring the overall sound of the Hifiman Arya and went with those instead, which kinda surprised me ... | |
| Lavri Cables @devilboy Any update on the LavriCable? | |
| Streamer Upgrade If you have CDs you still listen to you might also consider an Innuos Zen Mk3 as in addition to being an excellent streamer it’s also a server with its own disc drive so you can just load them directly into it and have access to all your music fro... | |
| Recommendation for Headphones BTW, I bought both my headphones as open box items — one from a reputable dealer on Amazon (Gramophone) and the other direct from Hifiman and in both cases it worked out great as both were as new and I saved hundreds of $$$. FWIW. | |
| Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West? @drbay I’m sure I must be missing something, but couldn’t you just route the TV’s audio output into an unused input on the Hegel? All you’d need to do is just change the Hegel’s input to toggle between music and TV, no? | |
| Recommendations please! Another option would be to add a transparent remote volume control on the cheap like this, which uses high-quality Vishay resistors in its stepped volume control… https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649881452-placette-audio-rvc-wremote/ | |
| Need cable advice tome reduces mids Would be helpful to know what equipment is in your system. That said, sounds like you might benefit from trying some silver interconnects, but they tend to be above what you’re looking to spend. BUT, I recently discovered LavriCable out of Latvia ... | |
| Recommendation for Headphones Thanks, that helps a lot. You should take a look at Audeze ‘phones, and if bass impact/slam is important you might prefer their closed-back models but by all means try open backed too as the soundstage tends to sound more open and expansive so it’... | |
| Ideal power cord lengths? The odd DIY cable sounded better than a $200+ Illuminate (Kimber?) and another popular/budget digital cable of the time that was an unusual purple/mauve color (forget the name). Sounds like an Apogee Wyde Eye. Of course I just ordered a 1m PC ... |
