| questions for georgehifi and others about powering my Wilson Sasha2s good point, however as I never tried the Vivaldi direct into the Luxman. No reason not to give it a listen. thanks. | |
| questions for georgehifi and others about powering my Wilson Sasha2s I sold myself on spending so much on the Vivaldi by thinking I could sell my ARC REF10 and put the money toward the Vivaldi. I tried and tried to like it. In fact I had two others listen to my system without revealing what I was changing. It is s... | |
| questions for georgehifi and others about powering my Wilson Sasha2s Thanks, that makes sense. I won't be getting another one. I don't think vertical bi-amping is a possibility as the Sashas have only the one pair of binding posts down low. I'm certain the m900u matches beautifully with some speakers, just not mi... | |
| questions for georgehifi and others about powering my Wilson Sasha2s Sorry about assuming the BAT was tubes!! I see it's solid state. | |
| questions for georgehifi and others about powering my Wilson Sasha2s Thanks, I will look into BAT, my friend has had them before and likes them. He suggested them and I should have looked more seriously. Although the VAC 200iq signature looks pretty interesting if I were to go down the tube route. Need 2 of them??... | |
| Luxman M900u match with Modwright LS 300, one or two 900s needed? It's really not that I disliked the REF 10. I don't have anything bad to say about it. It's also one of the coolest looking pieces I have ever had in my rack. It struck me as such a neutral implementation of tubes that I could have have been list... | |
| Luxman M900u match with Modwright LS 300, one or two 900s needed? Thank you for responding. Yes, the LS 300 is a total winner. I love it! In this past year I have owned an ARC REF 10, Rogue RP7, and a very high end passive, and went direct to amps with both a dCS Bartok and Vivaldi, so I have some framework to j... | |
| When are people going to wake up and realize listening is a skill? Just last night I got 24 hours burn in on a set of Mazda NOS rectifiers in my preamp. I am comparing them to a pair of NOS RCAs that were in it. The challenge at my develpomental listening stage is to unpack what I am hearing and what is missing c... | |
| Power cord choice? To the less experienced audiophiles, please keep an open mind to the concept that everything matters to the sound of your system. The folks who say power cords and ethernet cables don't make any difference should not be making that claim. They don... | |
| Rank the tweaks, geeks! From pauly6891. Component isolation,2. speaker isolation,3. power cords for power amps. My thoughts exactly. These three tweeks have shocked me as to the improvements they made in making my system so much more engaging. Tried as hard as I could t... | |
| What DAC upgrade made you say “DAMN, that sounds SO MUCH better than my last DAC”? Two years ago going from the entry Naim streamer to the dCS Bartok I traded fun for accuracy. It left me scratching my head and holding my empty wallet, knowing I was hearing more of the recording, but it wasn't really that enthralling. After nin... | |
| How many of you are digital only systems? I am 100% digital, I have moved my vinyl and TT all over the US since the 90s, but finally sold the TT this year. I am almost 100% streaming although I still have my Wadia 16 CD player acting as a transport. In response to the OP's comment on upgr... | |
| Anybody gone from ethernet to optical for connection to a streamer? I have an Etheregen and tried it with both Fiber and CAT and I could not hear the difference. (yes, I had only one hooked up at a time). The Etheregen switch claims it's "moat" galvanically separates the "in" from the "out". My limited listening ... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! I'm glad you tried them! Seriously there are a lot of folks on these forums that explain why this or that is equal to or better than what you just actually listened to! They have a free 30 trial! try them! I agree with fuzztone that your mileage w... | |
| Ethernet Cables If you are not sure the earth is flat or some other shape, buy the ViaBlue for 90 bucks and set sail for the Americas. I tried several Ethernet cables and conversed with lots of folks here and on other forums about Ethernet cables. I found in the ... |
