| Audirvana vs Roon Thanks. I see the endpoint license is about $144 and there are some issues with Mac computers. I’ll check back with them in a while. | |
| Audirvana vs Roon Thank you. So far the consensus of opinions posted here favor Audirvana over Roon for sound quality and Roon for interface, Roon radio and additional info on the music played. As one poster stated, Roon support suggested modifications to the outpu... | |
| Adding a preamp to HT setup @islandmandan I agree 100%! I have the same Modwright preamplifier and Wyred4sound monoblocks and the sound is awesome. My high end Denon receiver is fine but worlds apart in sound. | |
| Speaker cable recommendations in my budget As important as the wire is, it is just as important to have the right connectors and how they are bonded to the wire. I believe that high pressure crimping by an industrial machine or ultrasonic welding is better than solder. Bare wire is also go... | |
| Any difference in SQ from USB drive storage to NAS playback? Please forgive my ignorance but if software such as Audirvana loads songs or albums into RAM before playing, doesn’t that eliminate any lag or latency? Doesn’t that mean that SSD storage vs NAS storage both become irrelevant and both would be bet... | |
| Usless but interesting ....how many of you old timers started with original Large Advents? My first good speakers. I was so happy! | |
| Final Report, Canare 4S11 Speaker Cable I’ve had good experiences with that cable. I now use Anti-Cables because I now have mono amps next to the speakers. The twisted two pair is great for long runs. It helps with RFI and EMI. | |
| Jim Smith and advice I found his information to be well thought out honest and informative. It is his experience only but he helps you understand the fundamentals and experiment. Well worth the money for the book and DVD. | |
| net radio I like Radioparadise. I listen a lot when I’m working or driving. I always hear new music. Multiple genres too. There are many good internet stations. They don’t match the quality of CDs or Tidal but are still good. | |
| Schiit Aegir Thanks for the replies. I’m considering two as mono amps but my Modwright preamp is single ended only. | |
| Schiit Aegir That’s unfortunate. They have always had good customer service in the past. I hope it’s a temporary issue. | |
| Time for a new a/v receiver could use some input! I concur that you don’t have to spend $2500 but I recommend buying a receiver or surround pre with full pre-outs, plus a multi channel amplifier, get the latest decoding (Atmos or whatever) and you will buy another surround decoder soon. I think t... | |
| Advantages of owning equipment from major audio brands vs. boutique shops? A great example of a small company is Modwright. You can call and talk to Dan Wright or one of his wonderful staff. Small company, excellent products and excellent support. Dan talked me through tightening a bolt holding a transitor. It was loose ... | |
| If you have ever bought anything from HSU research I have had nothing but positive experiences. The OP has nothing better to do with his/her time than post a grievance. Move on. I’ve spoken with Dr. Hsu personally when I have called. Your argument is specious. Go away. This forum is not for you. | |
| Speakers for audio and home theater It matters what movies you like and what music you like. Movies with beautiful scores deserve full range speakers. Will you be using subwoofers with standmounts or floorstanders? My recommendation is to buy the best front two speakers and matchin... |
