| what cable should I buy for my system? Back to your original question, I have had good luck with both WireWorld and Acoustic Zen cables. They both use OCC copper and in every case, excepting power cables, they have made a positive difference when introduced to my system. I have yet to ... | |
| Recommendations for 20 amp electrical outlets Any thoughts on which components are affected the most by outlets? If you only had one fancy outlet and two dedicated lines, would you use it for the front end components or the power amp? | |
| Listening to what we Like Instead of what we have to There are so many choices in that price range. I agree with the others that suggested some travel to hear a variety of speakers. I think you will know them when you hear them. | |
| Streamer/Ripper/Storage Innuos has the features you want, and it has a stable and user friendly user interface. Include a really good USB cable in your budget, it will make a difference. | |
| Innuos firmware update I recently upgraded my USB cable on my Zenith from a Transparent to a Wireworld Platinum OCC silver. This was close to a full component upgrade in improvement. Really shocked me. I had similar experiences with my old SPDIF streamer and cables. I p... | |
| Innuos firmware update Great story, streamers definitely matter. You may also benefit from a good digital cable, I have been continually surprised how much difference this can make. | |
| Biwiring make any sense? I have KEF Reference 1’s, so similar to your situation. I had two sets of Acoustic Zen speaker wires available so I tried biwiring. There was a bit more bass response, as for the highs, I did not notice a significant difference, but my hearing is ... | |
| Recommendations for 20 amp electrical outlets I have dedicated lines and use the Hubbell 5362 outlets. I swapped in an Oyaide in my previous room, I did not detect a significant difference. I know that others have had good results with audiophile outlets, I may try again with my new room and ... | |
| Questions re. use of an Innuos unit with a Tambaqui This is probably review, but I thought it is something you should consider. I think it is important to note that the sound can be significantly affected by your choice of connectivity and the strengths of the streamer and DAC in clock department. ... | |
| Amps that don’t impersonate space heaters. @ghdprentice Thank you for the succinct description of high quality bass reproduction. I loved my slam back in my younger days, and noticed that it disappeared as I got into better gear, to be replaced by a more complete reproduction of the music.... | |
| Rogue Audio RP-1 DAC use I have the same question, what digital cable are you using to connect to the DAC? These can make a big difference. | |
| Need Opinions for Different Cable Manufacturers/Cable Designs +1 for Acoustic Zen. These cables opened my eyes to the impact of good cables. I use their speaker wire and balanced interconnects, and I believe that they will deliver the natural sound you are seeking. | |
| New Router, New Streamer, New Questions The CXN100 has a USB input port for media, have you tried that? Or do you need it on the network for other systems? If so, the NAS is a good suggestion. | |
| DACs - Holo/Kitsune, Bricasti, PS Audio, dCS, etc I was very interested in buying one of the Holo products, but eventually decided against it after reading that page. Electronics are very reliable these days, but if the thing bricks, it sounds like a long wait and/or ship back to Asia for service. | |
| Amps that don’t impersonate space heaters. I recently moved my Coda #8 v1 into a new cabinet that has glass doors on the front, but with an open back. I was worried about heat building up around the amp so I placed a digital thermometer next to it, it reads in the mid-70’s F even after hou... |
