| Need recommendations on 15ft speaker cables I can highly recommend the Anti-Cables 4.2 Flex speaker cables, best "pre made" speaker cables that I've ever tried.....I use them on my Clayton Shaw Caladan and Buchardt Audio S400 MkII speakers. They come with a 30 money back guarantee policy, a... | |
| Ethernet cables MWJ777 Great place to start is the Supra Cat 8, it's a really good cable for not much money. Just make sure to buy it from a good dealer. Madisound is a certified reseller, as is Sjofn HiFi on eBay. I use several Supra cables in my system, where ... | |
| All Hail the meek --yet mighty – NODE 2i Been running a Bluesound Node 130, LHY LPS, to Denafrips Iris DDC, to Denafrips Pontus II DAC for nearly 3 years.....and it's been rock solid without failure, and sounds great. That said, a new Innuous/Aurender/Lumin will be feeding the Pontus by ... | |
| Denafrips Pontus *15th* ? Fred I thought you had that combo, and glad to hear your experience. Good luck on the preamp, my new Aric Audio Motherlode XL has showed me how much a great preamp can tie a system together. | |
| Denafrips Pontus *15th* ? audiostick Possibly not, but I did no do a direct comparison of the Pontus II to the Venus II.....I already had the Iris/Pontus combination set up, and wanted to see if the Venus II beat it; and for me it did not. The friend that owns the Venus t... | |
| Denafrips Pontus *15th* ? A couple of points as a long time Denafrips Pontus II owner (1) I am one who directly compared a Pontus II/Iris DDC combination versus the Venus in my system....and preferred the Pontus II/Iris combo using an I2S connection. A Pontus II (whicheve... | |
| Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed? hilde45 Certainly understand about not wanting to have buyers remorse. If you're considering Tannoy, I'd also highly consider Fyne Audio. Fyne was started with the core of Tannoy's design team in 2017, after Tannoy was sold to a Chinese company.... | |
| Usher Mini Dancer 2 or Q Acoustics Concept 500 - Marantz PM Ki Ruby prashanth14485 I get need to prioritize purchases, and like you will eventually be upgrading my streamer set up as well. Some have indicated that I'll no longer need the DDC after upgrade, but I'll let my ears be the judge. I leave the light on,... | |
| Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed? hilde45 First off, I've never owned any horn speaker. I have listened to them many times at audiophile friends houses, dealers, and at shows. Klipsch fans please don't flame me, just posting my personal experience. That said, I have never heard a... | |
| Where can I get a set of Harmonic Technology pro 11 speaker cables re terminated? pal The connectors also come in a variety of metals: copper, gold over copper, and rhodium over copper; each comes with it's own sound signature.....use the same material as your original cables if that is the sound that you like. Copper and gold... | |
| Where can I get a set of Harmonic Technology pro 11 speaker cables re terminated? pal I'd suggest doing the upgrade yourself, it's a very simple process and most extremely good connectors now are screw on. You'd only need to cut the old connector off, and screw on the new connector.....no soldering required. I'd recommend Furu... | |
| Usher Mini Dancer 2 or Q Acoustics Concept 500 - Marantz PM Ki Ruby prashanth14485 Sorry for the late response, I was on vacation for a week Congratulations on the Ushers, while I have not heard them....they have an excellent reputation. Pontus II 12th - This is a giant killer of a DAC, much like your speakers.... | |
| PREAMPLIFIER UPGRADE QUESTION I should also clarify a couple of things: I eliminated the BAT VK-80 because it was $10,000 and my budget was around $7,500 or less, though my friend Patrick did buy it and is in love with it Ask for discounts (I would have been able to get 15% o... | |
| PREAMPLIFIER UPGRADE QUESTION kjl1065 I went through the same process in January/February before buying my new preamp. Over two weeks I listened to a bunch of preamps from some of the above recommended companies, either on friends systems and even traveling several hundred mi... | |
| Quandary rvpiano I'd also see if you have a CODA dealer near you (I know that there are not a lot), that would lend you a CODA S5.5.....Doug Dale (owner and designer) is also of the Threshold background as it Nelson Pass. 50 WPC all class A, 100 amps peak... |
