| Cardas vs Cardas vs Shunyata interconnects Update: listening to the Shunyata interconnects to DAC and to amps. Well heck, sounding pretty balanced and getting out of the way. Not wow, but just this sounds like music. Hmm, this won’t be easy to sort out. Both cable sets are quite good. | |
| Cardas vs Cardas vs Shunyata interconnects @jtcf I was thinking of exactly the same thing of mixing and matching Cardas. Do you have any experience with the Parsec line? Cheaper and warmer. Thinking it could be interesting to consider for a longer speaker cable run I need to make. | |
| Cardas vs Cardas vs Shunyata interconnects @decooney I appreciate your insight as I have admired Cardas from afar and now get to try their interconnects. I’ve been seriously thinking about switching my interconnects and speaker cables to Cardas. It’s great to have Cygnus and Reflection in ... | |
| Cardas vs Cardas vs Shunyata interconnects Would you agree that the interconnect between the DAC and the pre has more influence on SQ than between the pre and the monos? | |
| Cardas vs Cardas vs Shunyata interconnects I’d assume that from the Cable Company they have been used a bit already but of course hard to know. I did find the Cygnus was a little bright with female vocalist—maybe the spot for the Reflection. Actually trying a mix and match right now with... | |
| Disappointing On Mcintosh......help Mc (601s) with SF (Amati) is a brilliant combination—dynamic and smooth as hell. I have a separate system with an A21 and Tekton speakers that does not hold a candle to my Mc system. The A21 is dull in comparison with a flat sound stage. Wait, the... | |
| Burn in vs perception Interesting insights. I’d agree that there is a difference between extended warm-up and burn in. I find my tube pre (c2300) is improves after half hr or so and my DAC (Weiss) settles in after an hr. Burn in I have only experienced with speakers an... | |
| Ideas for Biamp with mc611 and mc275? @stephens770 so would something like this work as resister to match the gain on both amps? https://www.sescom.com/products/view/product/productslug/sescom-ses-mkp-39-dual-channel-volume-control-with-dual-xlr-io | |
| C12000 Owners! Help. Tube vs Solid State Question I’m afraid I can’t bring any insight, but I’d be interested in hear more of your impressions of the c12000. I have a c2300 and considered an upgrade. | |
| Ideas for Biamp with mc611 and mc275? So I have been thinking about biamping with two MC601s and one MC275. My pre is the c2300 that has two outputs and my speakers are set up for biwiring. Would this work or would I need two Mc275? How do I control the gain differences? The c230... | |
| Subs for SF Amati Thank you all for very helpful input. SF Gravis is an interesting thought, although I wonder if a company like REL that focus 100% on subs would have better performance. I know there are different perspectives, but I’m definitely in the camp of us... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev many thanks! | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev sorry if this has been covered already, but I’m curious on your thoughts about if there is an advantage of having a dedicated streamer between a Roon core and a Weiss 501 DAC. As you know the 501 is Roon ready and accepts an Ethernet cable. ... | |
| the big one: how do you choose speakers? By what features, data? I’d add that larger speakers have been my preference as they throw a bigger sound stage and are more likely to disappear. | |
| the big one: how do you choose speakers? By what features, data? My two cents: figure out what you like, not what reviewers like. Define what you like as much as you can. Do you like laid back smooth sound or higher detail, do you like huge sound stage, are looks important (for me for sure), what’s your budget,... |
