| Gryphon Diablo 120 Not to derail, but we think alike as I have a Zenith and a Merason and I am thinking about the QLN 3’s, interested in your impressions of these speakers. | |
| Wireworld Eclipse 8 interconnect - opinions please I'm trying the Eclipse 8 rca but it seems to be a bit dry and lacks dynamic, bass is too lean. Hmmm, not my experience at all with these cables, though I am using XLR’s. After 200 hours I would not expect much more change. | |
| Low Cost AC Regenerator @carlsbad2 This is not a regenerator. It is a voltage regulator. Sorry for the slow response, thanks for setting me straight. I assumed that because the units can step voltage up and down that the transformer is being used for regeneration. In... | |
| Looking for a true upgrade in sound quality A capable system indeed. Try the tweaks for the network, hopefully that smoothes things out. As for DAC’s I will second the Merason suggestion, I have a Reuss, very natural. | |
| Audience Front Row? I will be interested in your results, please post once the cable has settled in to your system. I am a big fan of OCC, it is plausible that it makes a difference. | |
| Putting together a used/new combo system. (Long) Given his tastes, skip the preamp and go high power integrated. NAD is great gear for rockers, I was one, and had one. I recommend a used NAD 375BEE, gobs of power, and darn good sound. If he wants higher quality sound he can bypass the pre later ... | |
| Solo streamer The Innuos Pulse series is a good fit, strictly streamers. I have had both Aurender and Innuos units and feel that the Innuos software is significantly better than Aurender’s. Sound from both are on par. Get the best one in that line that fits you... | |
| Preamp or DAC by the way could you tell me your favorite of the preamps you tried please. Thanks. Looks like Pass 12 maybe Yes, correct, the Pass XP-12 is my favorite to date. I will stick with this one for awhile. | |
| Preamp or DAC Nice system! I would vote preamp for sure. The May is well reviewed and well liked. I have a Coda #8 and tried the 07x, it was not my favorite out of the four solid state preamps I tried. Each one was unique and made a big difference, I think a DA... | |
| Balanced vs Unbalanced Digital Cables I would go balanced if your budget allows for a decent cable. Anything you can do to coddle and boost that source signal is generally worth it. | |
| Looking for a true upgrade in sound quality Can you outline the rest of your system? The issues you are having could be with the preamp and amp as well. I had etch in my system and much of it was caused by the preamp section of my integrated amp. And at higher volumes, the amp itself, and e... | |
| Speaker Cables For $300 Satori. Over your budget a hair, but if you are patient, you can get close. | |
| Wireworld Eclipse 8 interconnect - opinions please Following. I am using the base model Eclipse 8’s and I am also curious about performance going up the chain. | |
| Upgrade Digital Cable Review I tried a number of SPDIF cables for my previous streamer(s), and each one was different. Eventually settling on an OCC copper cable as my favorite. I agree that it it not intuitively obvious why they make a difference, but they certainly do. I h... | |
| Do your ears deceive you? @panzrwagn "If you can’t hear it you either have the wrong cables, an insufficient system, an inability to hear those differences or confirmation bias against cables." Or Door #4, there are no audible differences to be heard. Claiming 'insu... |
