| Pass XA25 for my system @fastfreight Yes, I am a converted Audionet fan now. I might go with the monos someday, but for now the Amp 1 has been great. Responding primarily to confirm your description of the Audionet sound: The Audionet gear is lightning fast, with super... | |
| Pass XA25 for my system I agree with the others that the XA25 might not have the depth you need to drive those speakers. I also agree that the Coda #8 would be a good choice. That said, I recently swapped out my #8, for a new to me Audionet Amp 1 v2 and a Pre G2. I was u... | |
| Experience up-leveling streaming with USB cables? Thank you. Our journey with the Merason Dacs continues. And a pleasant journey it is. I almost pulled the trigger on @mitch2 's MkII the other day. At some point I will have to compare one of those to my Reuss. | |
| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? I took it upon myself to learn to like jazz about ten years ago, and it has now become my primary genre. Lots of great recommendations here. In between sampling those, I would recommend finding some higher quality jazz stations and let them play. ... | |
| Is the Rockport Avior II an Endgame Speaker? FWIW, I heard these at AXPONA this year, they were some of the best I heard and left a lasting impression. I am guessing that properly positioned in a treated room they would sound great. | |
| Experience up-leveling streaming with USB cables? I used a Transparent USB cable to connect my Zenith III to a Merason DAC, but found a huge improvement when I upgraded to a WW Platinum 7 cable. I was very pleasantly surprised, as I was not expecting much. It sounds like @benzman has found furthe... | |
| Will an Amp change improve my system ? I agree with @audphile1, I would go with a bit more horsepower, even if you don’t listen at higher volumes. I own the Coda #8 v1, and while I have not heard the PS Audio amp, I feel it would be a significant upgrade. | |
| Audience FrontRow USB - I’m puzzled On the bright side it sounds like it offers a perfectly black background. 😀 Maybe obvious, but not stated, if you put your old cable back in, do you get sound? | |
| Benchmark LA4 vs Linear Audio Tube microZOTL Preamplifier (Level 2) FWIW, I replaced a LA4 with a Pass XP-12 and was very happy with the results. I liked the LA4, but it is not as musical as the Pass. | |
| Please talk me out of buying the Avalon Eclipse I am sure they are good, but don’t chase a deal on a once great speaker you have never heard. Plenty of great choices out there. | |
| Added a Schiit Freya+ to a Sansui 8080 Forge ahead! 👍 | |
| Whole Lotta Led I am looking forward to that one. | |
| Recommended for Americana Fans: Amanda Ann Platt and the Honeycutters I find this is a good station to find new music in the Americana genre: https://radiofreeamericana.com | |
| Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW! I added one of these to my system a couple weeks ago and it is a nice change. Not quite night and day, but I prefer the system with it in place. Without sifting through all the posts again, has anyone experimented with replacing the supplied ethe... | |
| help me choose between Audionet and Constellation Audio I am now the proud owner of @dpm2340 ‘s Audionet G2 and Amp 1. The G2 is amazing, a huge upgrade from my Pass XP-12. I saw that G2 for sale, that is an insane price. I would ask the owner if they know the true age of the unit. I only say that beca... |
