| New speaker cables recommendations sought @phillyb Agreed, and well-stated. I’m happy with my gear and lately have been toying around with reflection points & speaker placement…the impact has been profound! By simply moving the speakers further apart, and closer to the side walls, I’... | |
| Chord Qutest——>No difference @fuzztone @ddude003 @theo @jasonbourne71 @carlsbad2 @audphile1 @milo0812 @audioguy85 @sudnh @jetter Hello everyone, I arrived at the sound I desired, and thought I’d share my findings. So to begin, the problem -from the outset- was power. Though... | |
| Chord Qutest——>No difference @jetter I considered your proposal but it’s just not feasible in my home. | |
| Chord Qutest——>No difference @sudnh i ordered a couple of new digital cables (BNC to RCA terminated) coax cables that should arrive any day now. Let me break them in for a week or so and I’ll post my findings. As I prefer a warm sound, I went with Arcam early on, though down... | |
| Chord Qutest——>No difference @jetter i ordered two! | |
| Chord Qutest——>No difference @audioguy85 LOL. I got the Qutest used for half price. | |
| Chord Qutest——>No difference @jjss49 What can I tell you, I didn’t hear the difference, and any improvement I hear now may be a function of loudness. My wife says the sound is bigger and fills the room. I agree, whatever the cause. | |
| Chord Qutest——>No difference @milo0812 I need to purchase 2 of these, the other so I can connect the Qutest to my old CD player. | |
| Chord Qutest——>No difference @audphile1 Will do thanks. | |
| Chord Qutest——>No difference @jasonbourne71 Agreed that more voltage —> louder music —> more pleasing to the ear. But whatever the special sauce, I’ll take it. Regarding your DAC recommendation…I’m on a budget (bought my Qutest used). Thanks for the posts. | |
| Chord Qutest——>No difference @theo Thanks Theo, I have an old Arcam C31 preamp (paired with Arcam P1 monos) so I need all the help I can get. At some point may upgrade to a Rogue Audio tube preamp but that’s down the line. | |
| Chord Qutest——>No difference @theo See my previous comment. | |
| Chord Qutest——>No difference @ddude003 @fuzztone Changing the variable line level voltage to 3v seems impactful - the music certainly is louder. My wife likes the change; maybe I was expecting miracles? Thanks for your input. Charlie | |
| Chord Qutest——>No difference Oh no! I hope that’s not the case. | |
| Will a Chord Hugo 2 make a music streamer addition obsolete? @mikekuller Hey Mike, I bought the Node and the Allo Shanti as well but can’t connect them. The node comes with a 2-prong e55943 type-A power cord (female) while the Shanti has a type single node DC (female). For the life of me, can’t find an ad... |
