| Seeking Advice to Improve My Audio System ($1000 Budget) I owned a pair of the KEF LS50’s and they are awesome speakers, however I think that the H95 is a bit underpowered for them. They are a challenging load for an amp and require some current. Hegel is still a good choice, but I would go used and try... | |
| Antipodes Audio - K22 G4 Thanks for the update, sounds like quite the upgrade. Antipodes is firmly on my radar. | |
| Seeking Advice to Improve My Audio System ($1000 Budget) It is tough to break away from active speakers on a budget, as the whole chain has to be replaced. Staying within your budget, here is a system that will be a big upgrade over your current setup. I have only heard ELAC speakers at an audio show, ... | |
| Ethernet Wiring It should be fine, and the duct might provide shielding. 😀 That said, I have switched to using a TP-Link extender with a Stack Audio Smoothlan inserted before my Innuos streamer. This actually sounds better than the 30’ Blue Jeans cable, in my sys... | |
| How to choose speakers that won't overpower your room? @hbarrel and others. Well the plot is getting quite thick, and I hope the mystery is solved soon. Regarding my original thoughts on Sonus Faber, they were demoing their Stradivari signature speakers with Audio Research mono's at AXPONA, quite the ... | |
| Finally up and playing Wow, quite a system! Give it a couple weeks and t will sound even better. | |
| Thoughts on using the DAC in my oppo 205 with a CD Transport. I used to have a Gungnir multibit and it was quite good. They have recently updated this unit to v2. This checks most of your boxes, and is made in the U.S. https://www.schiit.com/products/gungnir-2 | |
| Havelock Wool acoustic panels vs fiberglass/Rockwool Interesting, and no @ditusa , it is not rock wool. It looks like it could get a little spendy though. | |
| QLN Prestige 3 I will be picking up a pair of new to me QLN 3’s next weekend. They will be competing against a pair of Raidho D-2.1’s that I bought used in April. The Raidho’s were designed by Borreson, though reports say they are more relaxed than the Borreson ... | |
| What does your DAC sound like I have been very pleased with my Merason Reuss, it has a very natural and musical sound and does not overdo anything. | |
| My Favorite Tweaks, What is yours? The Stack Smoothlan has made a nice difference in my system. | |
| ??? WHY WHY WHY ??? Class A vs Everything Else Listening at lower volumes as I do nowadays, can’t I have it all with a class A/B amp that is biased 10-15 watts to class A? | |
| RaidHo C1.1 vs Focal Diablo Utopia Upgrading is part of the fun, but take your time. I assume you are using the built in DAC and phono stages in the Rowland, you could experiment with some separates there. I would also encourage you to attend a show, I found it very helpful in iden... | |
| ??? WHY WHY WHY ??? Class A vs Everything Else Nice! Hang on to that amp. | |
| Best practices for speaker cabinet care Thanks @photon46, I happen to have some of the Mequiar's and will give it a try if water and microfiber alone are not enough. Will the Mequiar's actually remove scratches, or is it just safe for fine finishes?  |
