| A cable too perfect? A general follow up on this topic. I replaced the AZ Absolutes with the Neotech NEMOi-3220 cables that I built. I have had those in the system now for a week or two and find that I prefer them. The sound, while not quite as detailed, is richer and... | |
| An IEC with grip Thank you all for the suggestions, I have some things to try. It really does come down to surface area and clamping force. It seems that a couple of pieces of spring steel would solve a lot of problems. | |
| System advice I would see how the Pulsars sound with your current amp, let them play together for a few weeks, then your next move might be more obvious. | |
| Cary SLP 98 vs Benchmark LA4 I had the Benchmark LA4 and there were things that I liked about it, but in the end I replaced it with a Pass XP-12. This was a nice change and added some character back to the music. If you are limited to these two choices, I would lean towards t... | |
| USB Cables: beginning the rabbit hole Similar, I upgraded to a WireWorld platinum from a Transparent, big difference. | |
| A little puzzled by my newly acquired Yamaha A-S801 I agree with @ghdprentice , that is the sound I expect from a Yamaha integrated. NAD is a good choice if you want more body and low end torque. | |
| Xangsane Cryo OCC vs Sterling Silver XLRs I am a fan of OCC cables, but I am a bit suspicious of any OCC copper claims on AliExpress. I am also starting to lean away from any silver plated copper, I think that is where the brightness comes. Pure silver is less of a problem, or not a probl... | |
| New Innuos Pulse, need assistance. I also see that the receiver has volume trim and an equalizer, turn the equalizer off and examine the volume trim. I also see that it will display the stream resolution, make sure it is showing what you expect from Tidal. | |
| New Innuos Pulse, need assistance. While a cable might help, I recommend Acoustic Zen for coax, and WireWorld Platinum for USB, my guess is that the upgraded streamer is uncovering the shortcomings of your DAC. Or, and this a stretch, you have excessive noise entering your system. ... | |
| The Power Plant Regenerator debate drags on I recently replaced a Puritan PSM156 with a P15. I agree with @jeffbij that it is an improvement, relaxed and smoother, is a good description. My goal was to have “Sunday night sound” all of the time, and I am pretty close to that with the P15. I ... | |
| R2R next? Don't like ESS I have been very satisfied with my Merason DAC. It uses a chip that combines the best of delta sigma and R2R conversion that results in a very analog sound. I had a Gumby and have tried the Yggy, Merason is my preference. | |
| My Sonus Faber Amatis have weak bass even though I'm running ML 536s--800 w/ch into 4 ohms It sure sounds like something is wired out of phase. Try reversing one set of speaker cables. | |
| A cable too perfect? @vthokie83 Which Neotech cable and connectors are you using? The right ones could be the solution, the wrong ones more of the same Sorry, I forgot to answer this question. I am using the NEMO-I3220 on this page: https://www.neotechcable.com/N... | |
| soft dome versus hard dome tweeters Following with interest. I have heard the same things about metal tweeters, yet I like the aluminum ones that I have. It has always confounded me when a speaker manufacturer crows about diamond tweeters. I understand beryllium and other exotics, b... | |
| A cable too perfect? @sfpeloton Thanks for helping me with my decision to purchase the Audionet Amp 1 v2! I am really enjoying it. Good to hear, it is fantastic equipment. @barrysandy I've used AZ Absolute copper cables for many years. They are somewhat warm sou... |
