| Streaming vs Physical Media @lalitk Curious if you also tried fiber optic from your router, and if so what product did you use and how was the ENO better? | |
| Cable recommandations First, don’t listen to Jason Bourne’s utter nonsense. He’s incapable of hearing differences in any type of wire and therefore believes those of us who can are just fooling ourselves. That said, what kind of improvements are you looking for, and ... | |
| Sharing my experience with cables I have found litthe effect of cables on Aurender streamers and Dacs. Do you just mean power cords or interconnects too, and is this just specific to Aurender or a general experience? I hear significant differences between interconnects between ... | |
| For classical music lovers best amp for large orchestral forces? No, but they are certainly getting universally positive reviews and have the added benefit of being easily upgradeable by the owner when new and improved tech inevitably comes down the road. | |
| SVS sub owners, Past and Present Also, SVS has the “crawl” method on their site that might help identify the best locations for your subs and make the adjustment process a little easier. FWIW. | |
| Cable curmudgeon Well, I see the MAGA ll — Make Audio Great Again — flat earth crowd is now out in force here. Yay. Their motto: I hear what I believe. It’s a lot easier than admitting to the themselves that maybe either their ears or systems (or both) aren’t ... | |
| For classical music lovers best amp for large orchestral forces? All you guys recommending tube amps, do you know that the OP’s speakers have a stated NOMINAL impedance of only 5 Ohms? I haven’t been able to find more detailed measurements, but given that I’d have to think the minimum impedance likely reaches ... | |
| Cable curmudgeon perhaps modern listeners are adding ’Sweet n Low’ with tweaks that old timers don’t miss. Oh yeah, that’s it. Just buy alarm system wire and be done with it. To each his own. | |
| Streaming vs Physical Media One thing I can say is that streaming through WiFi as I’m doing now is vastly inferior to the same recordings played through my transport. After speaking with some folks here they were pretty adamant that a good streaming setup outperforms using ... | |
| Mixed Brand Pre-Amp Power Amp Pairings that Work The obvious answer is to read reviews and demo as much equipment possible and identify a pre and amp (or integrated) that match with your sonic preferences and the rest of your system. Another way to go and which is how I ended up building my syst... | |
| SVS sub owners, Past and Present Since you got such a good deal on the subs maybe it’s not a bad idea to splurge a little on an integration device to see if it can speed/improve the setup process. There’s a used DSpeaker 8033 on USAM for only $250 — a small price to pay IMHO if ... | |
| My subwoofer trials and tribulations. Wow. Just wow. How could this extremely critical and helpful information not be highlighted front and center in the manual much less excluded completely?!? Why does REL keep this pivotal info a national secret and make their customers jump thro... | |
| Same brand of Jumpers It would help if you shared what cables you’re talking about and what if any improvements you heard with the new jumpers. | |
| Cable curmudgeon Sorry if what I said irritates you, but the best guitarist, flutist, cellist or any other musician on the planet could teach you nothing as long as you have the idea that he/she really doesn’t know what music should sound like. @jhills It is ap... | |
| Best power cord for a preamp? Given what you’re looking for you might take a look at whatever Synergistic PC fits in your budget or buy used if at all possible. Another lesser known PC that sounds like it’ll do what your looking for is the Silverstar PC from Black Cat, and it... |
