| Micromega M-100/150 FYI, JPLAY offers a free trial. I’ve used mconnectHD and have had very frustrating connection problems as have many others so I’m about to try JPLAY as well. If it works it’ll be well worth the extra $ (that’s not all that much) and even more so i... | |
| RCA to XLR cable question. I’m not sure it’s gonna make all that much difference as it’s only going to the powered woofer. Whatever you do I’d make sure it’s returnable in the event it makes little/no difference from what you have now. | |
| Example of a piece o’ crap, useless review I am sure "their" certain about the difference between "there" and "they’re". And it's not a matter of grammar. It's merely about spelling. I’m not sure of that at all. | |
| What did a good 10 MHz clock do for your Gustard R26? I don’t understand why people buy external clocks. Well we’ll just add that to the already huge and growing pile. I sense yet another inane thread coming our way. 🤪🙄 | |
| Audioquest or Nordost for speaker cable I hate to add another option but Cerious Tech makes speaker cables that far exceed their price point. @stevebohnii Just for some perspective, what else have you compared Cerious cables to and what differences/advantages did you find? | |
| Micromega M-100/150 I’ve read JPLAY works well for Qobuz. MconnectHD also works but I don’t really recommend it as it seems to have connection issues and JPLAY apparently sounds better as well. Hope this helps. | |
| Example of a piece o’ crap, useless review Sadly, many here are not even grounded in basic grammar, like the difference between their and there. Or base and bass, manufacture and manufacturer, Schiit and… | |
| Those rare albums that are great on first listen. Just thought of a couple more from Joe Sample and Oscar Peterson. Great music throughout and all well recorded… https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDzuMUMRugCqrpQSxMVGfoSjo5vXS0zaj&si=Y3zx5ErXma_s2qO_ https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7... | |
| How many monthly kilowatt hours, including hi-fi, do you use? So all blue states are a lot pricier than any of red states factually. @czarivey No, not all blue states in terms of math. I’m not gonna post the numbers here because it’s not the place, but there are several rural blue states that are comparab... | |
| Audioquest or Nordost for speaker cable Big +1 @ghdprentice Knowing what other equipment you have and what improvements/sound characteristics you’re looking for are pretty critical here. | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords I listened for awhile & I do like the sound so I'll keep it like this for awhile & play some records. Time will tell. Looks like toe in is about the same, and since the speakers are closer together you might try a little less toe in es... | |
| How many monthly kilowatt hours, including hi-fi, do you use? blue states are always more pricey. I figured I either need to "run for office" or become homeless, because being working taxpayer in blue states is definitely the worst. @czarivey Not to sideline or make this political, but that’s not complete... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords Plus yours are too in line with the equipment cabinet between them which causes sound placement interference. @baylinor makes a great point here that I neglected to mention, and I agree the speakers can probably use at least another foot out fr... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords My apologies — I initially said decrease toe in when pulling speakers out further and should’ve said increase, but obviously you’d decrease toe in as necessary when moving the speakers closer together that I think you should also play with. My ba... | |
| Verity Audio Parsifal Ovation with Plinius Hautonga Great! Love to hear your thoughts on the McCormack. I’ve got the same amp but frustratingly haven’t been able to listen to it since the mods due to equipment/personal issues but hope to soon. Absolutely love your speakers BTW and really sad Verit... |
