| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic Thanks resolution1 I'm sure I will. I have the sequence planned out, every system power and speaker connection first, low level next, and will progress to the insides of the electronics like some have done.It will be interesting to see if one orde... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic I've found this thread late so it took some work to go through. Thanks OP and others who shared "valid" experiences. Hope you guys trying out the new item get permission *soon" to disclose more. You are killing me with suspense lol.Are you allowed... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic Source, Setup, Room; Pay attention to these. You will find that all these “tweaks” just tweak your wallet.Not looking forward to another 2000+ posts arguing about a tweak that will not change audio forever.Let’s see if we can contain the argument... | |
| Impedance Matching Question I've had mine for ~2 months and still delighted. Hope you are too, but use good interconnects, not the included ~6" ones.Also agree about the miracle box thing😀. It serves the music so well.. | |
| New to DAC, need advice. Didn't need too much work to decide: Node 2 is much more engaging/inviting to listen to, in spite of the pro-ject's (in my room with my music and ears yada yada) better tonality and "cleaner" sound. Music through it is so alive, bass so tuneful I ... | |
| New to DAC, need advice. Ok @ratboysr I did it, but couldn’t duplicate the conditions. Listened from the same space this time, at lower levels. The volume was much higher yesterday while I was throughout the house going about my business.I sensed the pro-ject’s sound is m... | |
| New to DAC, need advice. I streamed Tidal (in Win7) over a .7m Oyaide Neo d+ Class A USB cable to a Pre Box S2 digital for a month, replaced with a Node2 yesterday. What a difference, everything is now so alive and involving, the interplay (timing) and emphasis of threads... | |
| Stereophile, no more bench tests????!!!! Yes, I still read them cover to cover every month.I remember reading HP's TAS and JGH's stereophile cover to cover as well, sometimes 2 or 3 times over trying to read between the lines. This was before the bigger glossier versions, full of ads. Th... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? To go remote, you need the remote, a receiver, the motorised pot and power supply for it.You need a dual 100kohm Logerithmic pot, and this one is just that, you could use it in the Lightspeed. (no need to use the input board with the 6 relays... | |
| Is Agon becoming the eBay of audio? Bought quite a few items here pre-’09.Great sellers and priced fairly! I still have *everything* I bought, albeit in the closet. Got into other interests since then but making a comeback, and window shopping again. It seems like prices are a littl... | |
| Class D Technology Had anyone owned various Class D amps and settled on one magical enough to made you feel like you "couldn't wait to get home and listen" for hours (not from a sweet spot) but just throughout the house as you went about home life? | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Seems to still be available, surprised this has not been snapped up. I love mine!Now I just need to rig up a motor with remote control to control the volume knob externally with a belt. Has someone diy this before on anything? | |
| Volume Settings/Control - DAC vs Preamp? I've been considering the node 2 myself so have been doing research. If I remember correctly, it uses a 32 bit dac chip with on-chip volume control and the math as per ess' explanation proves there is no degredation of sound, ideal if you're using... |
