| Interconnect XLR suggestion between Accuphase E-480, and Lumin T2 Good luck with that. | |
| Aerial Acoustics 10T vs Talon Khorus I view Aerial 10Ts as one of the classic speakers of our time and u can’t go wrong as long as you have the power to drive them, which apparently you do. Enjoy!!! | |
| Interconnect XLR suggestion between Accuphase E-480, and Lumin T2 Just buy these. They’re a great value and if they don’t work out you can sell them for little/no loss... https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649828796-acoustic-zen-latest-silver-reference-2-xlr/ | |
| Highend tube preamp w/no headphone jack - help I wanna get a pair of phones @slaw I’d be VERY interested in your thoughts on the LSA as you and I have similar ears as to how we hear the LavriCables. I know you have Sundaras and I’ve got both HE400S and Arya Stealths so pretty sure your experience will translate well to m... | |
| Lavri Cables I haven’t had the opportunity to compare the LavriCables with anything other than stock cables, but as of now I’m thinking they might be a bargain relative to what other aftermarket cables cost. | |
| Fiber Optic Internet...best way to connect to system You can insert an optical connection (can be done for about $80) between the router and your Node that will shunt away the inherent noise, then you can get a better DAC if you’re currently using the Node’s internal DAC. | |
| Aerial Acoustics 10T vs Talon Khorus Another vote for the Aerials. The Talons were said to measure very poorly and hence were never reviewed in publications that provided measurements. Plus, as mentioned earlier, they’re outta business so good luck if you blow a driver. I think th... | |
| Lavri Cables @slaw Yeah, obviously I did too. More treble detail/air and transparency with a greatly expanded sense of space and soundstage but with no added harshness or lack of tonality. Did you find the same? I’m impressed, especially for the price. | |
| Ifi Zen Streamer plus upgraded power supply - the streamer to beat?? I'll compare it on it's own against my pi 4 unit w/rme adi dac and the cxn with the rme dac too. Should be interesting to see if I see any difference between them all. @blkwrxwgn I’d be VERY interested in your findings as I’m looking at the i... | |
| What stereo equipment do respected musicians listen to? I get rhythm pointers from the drummer and bassist. I’m a lifelong guitar wanker. Can’t hold a groove to save my life! @tablejockey Totally agree. I’m a drummer and couldn’t make a rehearsal once but my band decided to go ahead anyway. By all a... | |
| Help with choosing sub-woofers please One thing that alarmed me at first with the KC62 is that KEF claim it goes down to 11Hz. This didn’t seem possible for this very small size....At 20Hz it is only 2.5dB down. Uh, yeah, I’d check that. If the company doesn’t specify a -3dB lower ... | |
| What stereo equipment do respected musicians listen to? Most musicians listen to the actual music content and are not concerned with audiophoolery. Agree completely — most musicians have mediocre to poor systems. | |
| Cable question Yes. Why would you convert from digital and optical on both ends and think that’d sound better than no conversion? Plus, optical is limited to 24/96. Is that enough for you? | |
| Joseph Speakers I’ve heard both in different systems, so take that FWIW. The Perspectives are more full range, but IME they both display the same wonderful sound characteristics of the JA crossover. If I’m on a budget, I could easily live with the RM25XL, and y... | |
| Help with choosing sub-woofers please If you wanna do it right and your room/budget will allow, do a swarm as @atmasphere recommends. It’s the gold standard. If that’s not in your budget, get a pair of SVS SB1000 Pros that offer integration software and will help deal with room mode... |
