| USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC @audphile1 I agree with you. But I consider the MScaler to be a component rather than an add-on. I’ve communicated with several Dave and TT2 owners who also have an MScaler. The Qutest and MScaler together and their cables require only one shelf ... | |
| USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC @drlou77 I have a Netgear Orbi mesh system. It utilizes a main router which is connected to my cable modem in a different room which holds a separate home theater system. The main router feeds a satellite router using a 866 Mbps wireless signal. ... | |
| USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC @audphile1 @adasdad @drlou77 I’ve followed this thread with interest and I’m glad everything worked out for the OP. I’d like to add that it’s not really a valid comparison to compare a Qutest DAC to a Qutest and MScaler combination like @adasdad... | |
| Would used Shunyata Anaconda CX power cables still be a good choice at right price? @aberyclark I’m late with this but I’ll post it in case you haven’t purchased yet. I have had all Shunyata power cables for over a decade. I have an Anaconda Helix CX on a Cary SLI-80HS with all the upgrades. I’m very pleased with it BUT… last sp... | |
| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? @knownothing Bingo. You nailed it. Comparison on your own equipment with other good equipment and good power cables. When done as you did, the difference is truly not subtle. I didn’t believe it until I did it myself after my equipment had impr... | |
| Can a tube short without blowing? @atmasphere @paulcreed Fuse weirdness in play! I replaced the tube fuse and all was well for one day then the AC fuse blew. So I put the stock front-end (preamp) tubes back in and replaced the AC fuse. All good now for a couple days. I need to ... | |
| Can a tube short without blowing? @oddiofyl @tomcy6 Thank you! Although I’ve used tube equipment for many years I did not know either of these facts about tubes. I was lucky— it was just a prematurely bad fuse. I’ll keep my eye on the 6922s. I wish I could find another pair ... | |
| Cary SLI-80HS modifications @pehare They used Phillips drive flat head screws on my unit’s side panels. | |
| New Aurender conductor V4 app @hgeifman it’s my understanding that V4 is a general release, not beta. Only the Vtuner option is beta. If V4 is beta, it is not indicated so in the app. You are correct that issues should be reported. I don’t work for Aurender, I’m just a sa... | |
| New Aurender conductor V4 app @marco1 No. I read somewhere that it is a metadata incompatibility between Shoutcast and Radio Paradise. Artist and song show on other Internet radio stations such as the JazzRadio Premium streams. I listen to that a lot and the song and art... | |
| Cables for Aurender N150 Thank you everyone! I’ve gotten several ideas and am still researching. I’ve been streaming for over 10 years but until a couple years ago it was all improving the computer doing the streaming, not a dedicated streamer or better cables. So I’m ... | |
| Cary SLI-80HS Wood Side Panels removable? @dekay Thank you! I’ve had my older SLI-80 for so long I didn’t think to check the manual for the new 80HS. Interesting that my factory-installed side panels have flat head Phillips drive screws, not hex screws. But clearly there must be a thr... | |
| Cables for Aurender N150 @lalitk thank! I’ve been drooling over that NA Eno package from another thread re network filters. I think that “package” comes with a 1.5m cable. I currently have an Alan Maher Ethernet cable feeding the N150 now. It appears to have a de... | |
| Cables for Aurender N150 @oddiofyl you are correct! Bad choice of words by me, I should have said “entry level device”. It is an excellent component! I recently discovered the new Conductor V4. It is nice! | |
| Cary SLI-80HS modifications @pehare 6-32 threads ¼ inch length. They get theirs from DB Roberts. I found 18-8 SS black oxide pan head Phillips drive screws on Amazon. Inexpensive and fast. They look more like button head screws to me. They look fine in the amp’s cage scre... |
