| Challenged with Going from Integrated system to separates Sub has both RCA and XLR, I was hoping I could connect the AV receiver for home theater 🎠to the RCA and use the XLR for 2 channel audio off of the C12000.  based on my human logic, this should work as opposed to using a Splitter at the Subs . An... | |
| speakers that are a little laid back in the mids @immatthewj Yeah, I know Cardas also has their recommendations for placement as well among others. I’m of the opinion these are just guidelines and that every room and speaker are different and need to be positioned best for your specific room an... | |
| speakers that are a little laid back in the mids So how far were the fronts of the speakers from the wall? | |
| Best streamer, don't want Roon, don't want a screen, A DAC is OK but not necessary WiiM Pro $200. Why pay more? You have ears and care about sound quality. 🙄 | |
| Best streamer, don't want Roon, don't want a screen, A DAC is OK but not necessary Innuos Pulse.  Great streamer with a great app. | |
| CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports I was debating between Jays and the Project CD Box RS2 T, and decided on the RS2….for now. @kennyc Not sure if you’ve seen but the RS2 has had more than its share of reliability issues.  Might wanna add this Shanling ET3 to your list as it’s ge... | |
| Orchestrated Rock...Uriah Heep and others I think Disturbed’s “Sound of Silence” is a nice juxtaposition of genres with orchestral accompaniment… https://youtu.be/u9Dg-g7t2l4?si=C2GoWtQ62a7ORO4h | |

| Wireless speakers I’d look at KEF. | |
| speakers that are a little laid back in the mids You’ve had some excellent speakers, and I’ve heard models from all of them and none sounded like the vocals were too upfront or on top of me. If they all don’t sound right to you I suspect there’s something going on with your room/setup. What you’... | |
| Amplifier recommendation What specific improvements are you looking for, and what’s your budget?  | |
| JC2 Bypass gain settings Well, leaving aside you can just try different gain levels and see what sounds best, yeah I’d say for an HT application you might be overthinking this a bit.  | |
| Six DAC Comparison I have to disagree with adding a DDC. I feel that the DAC’s should be compared based on their abilities, without having the DDC safety net. The Merason has its own galvanic isolation built into the unit. If others do not include this, they may su... | |
| Hifi Man Sundaras! @deep_333Â Â FWIW I was able to drive my HE400S (98dB sensitivity) with an AQ Dragonfly Red. Â The Sundaras are 92dB but still may be worth a shot if you can return the Dragonfly just in case. Â Not surprisingly sound quality was significantly improve... | |
| Six DAC Comparison A DDC 1. provides multiple output options from a USB input, 2. reduces jitter, and 3. may allow the connection of a master clock or sync directly to the clock in a particular DAC I’d add a DDC can also add galvanic isolation for further noise r... |
