| Power cords or power conditioner Only reason I am asking about power cords and conditioners is I keep reading about guys claiming about the change in sound stage depth and width with the change of power cords and conditioners. To me it doesn't make since, hence why I asked. W... | |
| McIntosh MA8900 - Worth Upgrading To? (From tube integrated)… Here is my suggestion. Go to a Mac dealer and compare to other brands they sell. I did exhaustive research on what integrated to get for a 2 channel set up. I have one of the best Processors for HT but for two channel it still isn't up to a goo... | |
| Boulder 866 vs Gryphon Diablo 300 The Boulder was played on Dynaudio Contour 20i speakers. That combo was not good. The shop also had Sonus Faber, I believe they are a warmer speaker and maybe that would be a better combo than the Dynaudio for the 866. | |
| Boulder 866 vs Gryphon Diablo 300 Soix- I agree on the Esoteric. Something was not right! I can't image they would make something that was that off. | |
| Boulder 866 vs Gryphon Diablo 300 yyzsantabarbra, I better not listen to that combo yet. If I do I'll want to buy it. I did ask about the 900u when I was looking at the 509x, and was told that is a whole other animal but was just replaced by the 10X. The 509x uses the 700u amp... | |
| Boulder 866 vs Gryphon Diablo 300 Listened to the Gryphon today. Compared it to a Luxman L-509X, Krell K-300i, and Esoteric F-03. I used Magico A5 Speakers to test everything today and an Aurender A30 as the source. The Diablo 300 really sounded great! Full, deep powerful bass... | |
| Boulder 866 vs Gryphon Diablo 300 I auditioned the Boulder 866, McIntosh MA12000 and a Accuphase E-380 today. The Boulder while very revealing, I found it very fatiguing! I didn't like it at all. Next I went tot he Accuphase. I really liked this amp! It was more laidback, I c... | |
| Boulder 866 vs Gryphon Diablo 300 That is one thing that has been on my mind. Is the Datasat holding me back so much that the amps themselves cannot really shine? When I had the Mc207 and compared it to the BHK monos, there was a noticeable improvement in the bass. With the BHK... | |
| Boulder 866 vs Gryphon Diablo 300 Thanks Audiojan. I'm trying to audition both of these. There are lot of positive reviews on the Diablo, but the Boulder came out during Covid and there are only a few reviews on it, all positive as well. | |
| Roon to Datasat LS10 I called Datasat today and talked to them about the USB port. Turns out it isn’t active. It was added to the LS-10 but never activated for USB Audio. I asked Sinjay if I would see any improvement adding a bridge so I could use the SPDIF Coax conne... | |
| Roon to Datasat LS10 Just so you guys know what I am running here is my "stereo" set up. For the front end of my stereo I'm running Kef Reference 3's, JL Fathom 113 V2 sub, and ATI AT3300 amps, which replaced BHK 300 mono blocks. If you can believe it, the ATI so... | |
| Roon to Datasat LS10 I'm back from vacation and tried to get the Roon to connect to my Datasat. I've tried various combinations of turning things on, but the Datasat will not show up in the Roon menu with the USB connection. Anyone have any suggestion? Or a Roon R... | |
| Roon to Datasat LS10 Thanks guys, I’ll see if it is a hand shake issue with the USB. I have to turn on my Apple TV last or the HDMI will not hand shake properly and there will be no sound. | |
| Need your recommendation on a 5 or 7 channel amp Auxinput- The McIntosh was a bit too laid back for my tastes. With the BHK, I have rolled the tubes and can still get it brighter if I want to change the tubes again to a better Amperex tube. I am curious how the ATI will work with the BHKs for... | |
| Need your recommendation on a 5 or 7 channel amp I've also been in the market for a new center and surround amp. I was set on buying a used Theta Dreadnaught II or III. After talking with my shop for a while today, I was convinced that the new ATI AT-3300 series that was released today. Suppo... |
