| Listening Room or Components or my ears? I would invest in a DAC first, I suspect the Denon has a lot of digital noise and that the built in DAC is not the greatest quality. | |
| How to choose speakers that won't overpower your room? Thanks for the additional comments, I will be pursuing some room treatments. @sawbuck I built a custom Pi/Digi streamer a few years back with good success. I nigh have put it back in to see how it compares to the Innuos. | |
| Streaming network puzzle @dalims4 Just to see if I could hear a difference. Not a significant change in this case. However, I recently picked up a pair of shotgun biwire cables, Harmonic Technology 9’s, and these are an improvement, but not necessarily due to biwiring. | |
| Innuos Zen next-gen vs. Pulsar for streaming...? @lurch-uk Check out Merason, I have their Reuss DAC and it is a perfect match for the sound you are seeking. | |
| How do I connect my speaker cables to this Coda Amp I had this problem with my Coda #8, but I found that the large spades on my AZ cables fit if you perfectly aligned them with the slot. Anything but perfectly straight, they did not seem to fit. | |
| How to choose speakers that won't overpower your room? I forgot to comment that I did recently add my REL 7i into the mix, but even though it blended well, the quality of the bass seemed sub-par to that of the KEF's. Does that make sense? I pulled it back out. | |
| How to choose speakers that won't overpower your room? Sorry for disappearing, busy weekend. Thanks for all of the suggestions. I recently ran REW on my room, and room treatments are in order, maybe I should start there. I am not at all unhappy with my KEF's, but always thinking I can go up a notch o... | |
| Speaker Diagnostics - Impedance Very informative indeed, thanks for sharing. | |
| Background vibration and your system. Very cool, I have often wondered how much background vibration exists in my area. I knew I NEEDED those Stack Auva’s I bought for my DAC. Thanks for sharing. | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? Tori Amos. Her depressing, whiny tone gets under my skin real fast. Never bothered to listen long enough, maybe her lyrics are good? | |
| SmoothLan Regenerator from Stack Audio @v-fi FWIW, I am using it with an Innuos Zenith mkIII, which is pretty decent streamer, though not reference level. You would think this should not make a difference at this level, but I feel that it does. @knockknock12 thanks for the info, I ... | |
| SmoothLan Regenerator from Stack Audio My experience with the Smoothlan has been similar, I have been very impressed with the results. I am tempted by the new regenerator, however I also really like the passive design of the Smoothlan. | |
| Re; Dynamics, Class D vs tubes… I have the KEF Reference 1’s, non-meta, and my gut tells me that a solid state power amp is a better choice. Do they seem lacking with your current tube mono’s? Also, any reason you are not considering A, A/B amps? FWIW, I have had good low volume... | |
| What are some quality bookshelf speakers that can actually be used on a bookshelf? A slightly different direction, but you could consider something like LS50 actives. They can be configured specifically for desk and wall modes. https://us.kef.com/products/ls50-wireless-2 These are well liked, but would be a different sound th... | |
| Im going to regret my cable question I took @soix advice several years ago to buy some AZ Satori’s, these really opened my eyes to how much difference speaker wire could make. Highly recommended. |
