| Anyone try different footers for DeVORE Super Nine speakers? I used Gaia’s on my KEF Reference 1’s and they definitely have a positive effect. It is very important that they are properly oriented and they grip the floor, either with the rubber bottoms or spikes. I am going to give Stack Audio footers a try ... | |
| Streamer upgrade advice. Airplay is a non-starter. Just for fun, get a Qobuz trial and configure it on your CXN so that it streams directly to the CXN, and use the CXN for control. This will be a low/no cost test. My guess is it will be a significant improvement. | |
| DDC Comparisons @tonycorvette1 Any DDC recommendations for connecting DCS Apex Rossini, Master Clock with Zen-NG ? Nice gear. I would look at adding the Phoenix USB board to the Zen if you have not already. With that DAC and master clock, I would stick with US... | |
| Streamer upgrade advice. A quick look at the CXN specs and I did not see native support for Apple Music. You also mention Airplay, iPhone and Mac. Can you describe how you are currently playing music and how you are connected to the CXN? | |
| Projectors now vs 15 years ago +1 @ghdprentice . I find it hard to believe that projectors are still relevant. | |
| Seeking to upgrade from Weiss Dac 204 Have a look at Merason, either the Reuss or DAC1 MkII. It is a hybrid of R2R and DS. I have the Reuss and it checks a lot of boxes for me. | |
| Buckeye Amps musicality? Not measurements, musicality.... I didn’t see mention your listening habits, what genre is your favorite and what is your typical listening level? I tried Class D early on with a Rogue integrated, but it was not to my liking for the usual reasons, though I suspect things have imp... | |
| What do you care about in this hobby? Sound quality of course. Because I enjoy the technical side of this hobby as well, I almost want to split that category into sound quality and musicality. I am amazed at the technology that can deliver this level of performance in my home. Aesthet... | |
| Do you have a speaker that’s not a big name maker but punches above its weight? Why? @oddiofyl @jpwarren58 I am intrigued with the Studio Electric speakers. Can you provide a description of their sound in your system? Warm, neutral, uber-detailed? How is the soundstage? | |
| How to choose speakers that won't overpower your room? Well, this round of speaker wars is complete, with the winner being the QLN 3's. You can see my thoughts on these with a new piggyback post here. I posted some new comments in the Raidho thread that that I started. All of the speakers I tried we... | |
| What are your thoughts on Raidho? Following up on this thread and my experience with the Raidho D 2.1 speakers. I have been conducting a bit of a speaker shootout between my original KEF Reference 1's, the Raidho D 2.1's and a pair of QLN 3's that popped up regionally and have bee... | |
| QLN Prestige 3 @bluethinker I have now had a pair of QLN 3's in my system for a couple of months and feel that I can comment. I conducted a comparison between the QLN's and my original KEF Reference 1's, and a pair of Raidho D-2.1's. ALL of these speakers sound... | |
| Merason DACs @bluethinker I recently replaced my Acoustic Zen interconnects with Veritas, just to try something new. Note I m also using QLN 3 speakers. These were a significant change, erasing a bit of the warmth and adding clarity, though maybe a little bass... | |
| CODA 8 V1 I used to have this amp, and yes it is very good. I asked Coda the same question and here is the explanation: The switch sets the 0 dB point to 5 or 300 Watts as indicated on the front. At low levels the difference may be minimal on efficient s... | |
| Merason DACs I believe the Merason was edged out by the Mojo Mystique. An intriguing DAC as well, but other reviews are mixed. The Helene is a bit out of my price range, and it has tubes, meh. Side tip: I recently popped a Singxer SU-6 between my Zenith and t... |
