| 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... | |
| Are using hearing aids for stereo listening like trying to push a river through a straw? I will just add that you should wear them every day for a month or so, it takes time for your brain to adjust, but it will slowly filter out some of the negative aspects. | |
| System assessment... +1 for AXPONA. I went this year to hear a variety of speakers, and systems of course. It is a great way to get some perspective. I was able to rule out a lot of them, and put some on my wish list. | |
| Enough is Enough Per @mitch2 ’s excellent six DAC review thread, maybe a demo of Mojo or Merason would be worth a shot. | |
| How does sound influence your appreciation? Definitely the case for me. I have developed a huge appreciation for jazz as my system has improved. Listening to it in my car is not nearly as engaging or rewarding. |
