| 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... | |

| 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... |
