| speaker upgrade fever Joseph Audio Pulsars should definitely be on your list. Best of luck. | |
| Bluesound Node versions SQ If I was on a tight budget I’d get a used Node (N130 or later to get the functional USB output) and an LPS from Teddy Pardo, SBooster, or LHY. By all accounts this setup punches well above its weight/price, and you get the Bluesound app that is b... | |
| System advice Should I buy Lampi and then try to match up a amp to it or the other way around? Since you liked the sound before with the CD5/Arcam combo I’d try to get that sound back in place first and then try a DAC, which could well provide significant im... | |
| System advice Chalk this up to an expensive lesson learned — never just blindly follow a salesperson’s (or anyone’s) advice because your ears are the only thing that matters. A good dealer should let you borrow equipment for a day or two to let you hear it in ... | |
| Mcintosh or Tributaries series 8 ab mk11 balanced interconnects, thoughts good or bad I’d suggest doing a trial of these Ice Age interconnects that use high quality copper that’s cryo treated and only cost $225/3 feet so could save you $$$. https://iceageaudio.com/ice-age-audio-store/ols/products/oxygen-free-copper-xlr-interconnect... | |
| New Amp Advice Well, you’ve certainly got some great candidates, but as you well know at this level they’re all very good and it comes down to that magical thing called personal preference. If it’s me I’d go listen to the ones within an hour, and if there’s one... | |
| Axiom to remember And how good the recording is. | |
| It's time to get paid Re my post from 12-27 No payment necessary — we’re all here to help each other. Just glad you got it sorted and can enjoy listening again! | |
| Value Power Cords- LessLoss or Triode Wire Labs? @robshaw At your price range I’d do a free trial of these — high quality copper and cryo treated and high value for the price IMHO. Best of luck. https://iceageaudio.com/ice-age-audio-store/ols/products/ofc-power-cable/v/OFC-PWR-CBL-6FT-LNG Her... | |
| Speaker Jumper/Link Cables - Best Ones? Nordost Valhalla, Tara Labs Omega Evolution OR.. My Acoustic Zen Satori cables exhibit the sound characteristics you’re looking for, and their jumpers are $300 new and should be more than fine for your speakers. What speaker cables are you currently using? https://www.thecableco.com/satori-jump... | |
| Innuos Pulse versus Zenith Mk3 I’d call Innuos as they know better than anyone here. They have great customer support so wouldn’t be surprised if you get a thorough answer to your question. | |
| Warm, flexible, cheap-ish cables? I’d give a call to Ice Age Audio and Pine Tree Audio and see what they recommend for your needs. Both have a reputation for giving helpful advice and are a big step up from the cheap stuff but still well within your budget, and I believe both off... | |
| Any Eversolo Amp F10 owners out there ? The Coda #8 is more than twice the price of the F10 but since I'm in no rush to get new speakers I think the Sanders amp I recommended was largely designed/built by Coda. | |
| Streamer + DAC help: Bluesound vs Eversolo (vs Others) Innuos streamers sound great, have the best app, and offer great customer service. Here’s a used Zen at a good price, or you could get a new Pulse Mini and add an LPS from SBooster, Teddy Pardo, or LHY for about the same price. https://www.usaudi... | |
| Any Eversolo Amp F10 owners out there ? I’d make sure they have a US repair facility before even considering this amp. I’d strongly consider this Sanders Magtech amp that is highly regarded and made to drive planar speakers. It’s older and been on the market for a while so I’d offer a... |
