| Center placed equipment stands https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/7605 I am planning on adding some bigger speakers to the room shown in the above URL. I have a 1 foot deep and 72" long oak bookshelf, which is visible in one of the photos of the interior of my closet.I was wo... | |
| Internally Balanced cables supporting AES48 Standard It was Atmasphere’s comments to me on some thread about component placement (he keeps his gear far from the speakers) that led me to look into AES48 compliant gear. I do have some experience with AES48 gear, which was the Benchmark DAC3 HGC and th... | |
| Integrated amp for Thiel 3.7's What about the Hegel 390 or 590. I saw a 590 used for $8K. Hegel sounds good with KEF, I think it would work great with the Thiel. I have owned Thiel and KEF and heard the Hegel 360 and also mono blocks with KEF Blades. | |
| Streamer Recommendation If I had a Lumin X1 I would first spend the $200 to buy this https://www.ui.com/unifi-switching/unifi-switch-8-150w/ to see if Fiber optical is actually noiseless. The X1 is already ROON READY so this could potentially be the simplest and cleanes... | |

| Anthem STR or Lyngdorf TDAI 2170? Another extra data point for anyone interested and a important one for me since I plan on running very long internally balanced XLR interconnects between the preamp + amp. Not sure about the Anthem because they did not get back to me.Halloyes – w... | |
| A visit to the (Audio) Doctor Being in retail is tough especially with the yahoo’s on the internet being able to say anything about a business. Take a look at the following retail extortion site for what Upscale Audio deals with. I like the way these guys are not taking it lyi... | |
| Qobuz Special Offer I hope I have some time to do some head to head comparisons with Tidal and Qobuz. I think the first disc will be Lux Prima by Karen O and Danger Mouse. I heard the high-res version on Qobuz today and the sound seemed almost like a good SACD. It wi... | |
| need recommendations for standmount speakers Your amp and DAC are not warm at all. I owned both and was happy using them with KEF LS50, though a warmer speaker may have been even better. When I recently went to demo some Luxman amps they used some Harbeths and I thought the Harbeths would be... | |
| Qobuz Special Offer @big_greg Thanks for the post. When I did a search for THE BEATLES or THE WHITE ALBUM I only got results for the non-super deluxe version. I also had a ripped CD version in my library.After I searched for ESHER DEMOS I found some tracks and then a... | |
| Mogami 2534 "Upgrade" Nice post. I was just searching for Mogami XLR’s going back some years on A’gon. Do you use any other cables from Take 5? https://www.takefiveaudio.com/categories/c202-tfa-custom-audio-cables | |
| Qobuz Special Offer Signed up for Qobuz now and already have Tidal. My Roon went into a little shock at first but seems to have settled down and cached or indexed the Qobuz data. I was looking for the remaster of the Beatles White Album but not to be seen in either s... | |
| Qobuz Special Offer Any reason to have both Tidal and Qobuz? I have Tidal and do not want to mess up anything to switch to Qobuz. Having both is do able at $12.49 monthly but is there a good reason to do that. | |
| Anthem STR or Lyngdorf TDAI 2170? I will add some info here that I think people will find useful.I am back to comparing DSP because a too big for my room speaker is available for me to buy. For some unexplained reason I want to put this unsuitable speaker into my room instead of s... | |
| Network Switches @thyname Ok, USB to the endpoint makes it super clear. I got confused thinking RJ45 to the endpoint was the goal.I understand there are some clocking things (beyond my pay scale of understanding) that the EtherREGEN does but I wonder how it compar... |
