| Benchmark AHB2 Power Cable Upgrade Wireworld might work, as they use molded plugs. | |
| Do your ears deceive you? Confirmation bias is real. But some cables do make a difference. 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. | |
| Opinions on RENOLABS in Vietnam Decent site and good looking gear. The reclocker is certainly attractive at that price, pretty low risk to give it a try. Report back if you do. | |
| dac recommendations for turntable listener? I recently upgraded from a Schiit Gumby to the Merason Reuss DAC, which is their new mid-range, though hardly mid-priced DAC. I do not have experience with enough DAC’s to compare, but my overall description of the sound would be natural. A friend... | |
| Warm relaxed digital coax Until recently I used the Acoustic Zen Absolute 75 Ohm Digital Cable with results similar to what you are seeking. There is at least one up for sale used. I am now using USB as my new streamer is limited to that medium. | |
| Need help choosing preamp for streaming I ran the Freya+ with the Node and it is a great combination. | |
| I guess I need a new multimeter. I have been through several cheapo meters and when this last on got flaky after only a couple of years, I broke down and bought the Fluke. Bite the bullet. | |
| Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier @zuesman +1. I am working towards and all OCC loom, currently a mix of Wireworld and Acoustic Zen. Geometry matters too of course, but it makes sense to me that OCC could make a real difference. My experience has been very positive so far, though ... | |
| Need help choosing preamp for streaming These seem to be popular as a catch all solution, though I have not tried one. https://www.eversolo.com/Product/index/model/DMP-A8/target/uXoirEESmeVKKmVViAFMcQ%3D%3D.html | |
| Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier If the rest of your system is on the same or higher level as your amp, I don’t think you should start with a price limit. Though I have not used the service, this might be the place to start as they might have some advice based on experience with ... | |
| Opinions on Bluesound vs Sonos. @n80 Understood. I do not use the Sonos that much, but my wife does, and the complaints have been numerous. An amazing blunder for such a successful company and product. | |
| Opinions on Bluesound vs Sonos. I think you are missing out on a lot driving those speakers with Sonos or Bluesound amps. Stick with Sonos if you like it, they will fix their problems. I suggest using a Sonos Port connected to a decent integrated that does well at 4 ohms. Th... | |
| Why are high efficiency speakers preferred for low volume listening? So is the bottom line that you liked the Klipschs better than the KEFs, particularly at low levels? No, definitely not. For the time they were great, but I love the KEF’s, even for low volume. I just wonder if another speaker might be a little ... | |
| Looking for RCA cables from preamp to amp? @hsbrock Check out OCC wire, it is a means to make a strand of copper even better by changing the crystalline structure of the metal. The ‘better’ part is opinion of course, but OCC and the single crystal structure is real. | |
| Why are high efficiency speakers preferred for low volume listening? I am curious about this myself. I have KEF Reference One’s, which are not efficient, and years ago I had Klipsch Heresy’s, which are very efficient. Is it that high efficiency speakers are more “lively”, or was that just the horns on the Klipsch d... |
