| Persona and cable and interconnects match? Nice system. What made you go with CODA and how does the CODA sound with the Persona 3F? I have a 12 x 11 x 9 room and I am thinking of squeezing a Persona 3F into it.I am a big fan of Audience speaker cables and interconnects. The Persona is a li... | |
| Computer Guru's, Does my external Hard Drive go to sleep if its still blinking? Looks like the HD is still up and running. You should check the X1 documentation to see if there needs to be some configuration done on the X1 or external HD to allow the X1 to put the HD to sleep. Or better yet contact Lumin, they are active on A... | |
| What's your "diminishing returns" preamp choice? Benchmark HPA4 ($3k). The best audio component I have ever bought. The LA4 is the same without headphone ($2.5k).The great thing about this unit is that it is quieter than likely EVERY other preamp and DAC out there. It also does not have much of ... | |
| Removing a ZERO from the price of amps I think the AHB2 is an awesome amp, especially for the KEF LS50's (bedroom system). I owned it for a few years so I am confident in my assessment. It was awful on an Magico A3 though, that speaker was more demanding. I also do not think Beryllium ... | |
| Removing a ZERO from the price of amps Actually ricevs I do not only go by measurements. The AHB2 is something I owned before and know will sound good. The Purifi stuff is so new that I have no trust in it yet. I will wait and see what consensus is reached on what is considered good Pu... | |
| Removing a ZERO from the price of amps I need an amp today since I sold my existing one this morning. Likely going for the Benchmark AHB2 but will keep my eyes on the Purifi stuff as it matures. https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/seeking-cost-performance-input-... | |
| Removing a ZERO from the price of amps https://darko.audio/2020/07/expert-opinion-bruno-putzeys-purifi-hypex-kii-mola-mola/ Darko Web site has an interview about this subject matter. | |
| Magico A5 official Announcement Not exactly what you asked but my Benchmark AHB2 (100W @ Ohms) was kind of killed by the A3 which is likely less of a load than the A5. That was a single stereo amp. Sound was collapsed onto the speakers. The beefier Mark Levinson sounded much bet... | |
| Audiogon Is Noisy I think I may have been wrong to blame audiogon. It was 100% ROON as described in the 3 posts above. I did notice some CPU craziness with Audiogon but that may have been in conjunction with the GPU issue tied to ROON.Anyways, anybody else having A... | |

| Magico A5 official Announcement They have a comparison done on AudioShark web site. Though note the guy doing the comparison is the dealer and owner of the forum. I do like AudioShark forum though. | |
| Audiogon Is Noisy GPU issue is now solved with the help of some stranger in London, UK. Likely a ROON engineer. https://community.roonlabs.com/t/gpu-100-on-roon-client-maximized/115316/9 I reinstalled the display drivers and the GPU is no longer going crazy. It see... | |
| Audiogon Is Noisy Posted the following on ROON Support forum. When the ROON application client is maximized my GPU hits 100%, when the application window is set to restore (not maximized) the GPU is around 50%, and when the application window is minimized the GPU i... | |
