| Audio Rack Selection +1 on SVT & HRS. I have good success with a SVT2 rack coupled with HRS shelves with components then on HRS nimbus couplers. The wood metal combo looks good, to my taste, more importantly sounds great. | |
| Higher End DACs +1 @mikelavigne re: Extreme | |
| Sim Audio Moon 340i +1 to the aboveAs owner of Simaudio DACs, preamps and amps, I can also say their reliability and customer service is beyond reproach. Obviously, I love their sound as well. The 10-year warranty speaks volumes. Enjoy!! | |
| Tyr 2 vs Valhalla v2 Hi timothyglover,Congrats on getting to where you are at on cabling!Could you describe the sonic difference you experienced when you switched out the Odin 1 PC for the Odin 2 PC to the QB8? Were you able to do that a/b comparison? Curious your fi... | |
| Looking for a pre-amp (Pass, ARC, BAT, Sim, PS Audio) Hi @ddafoe,I use the 780D v2 dac and the 870a amp.Had the 740p the last 3 years. I imagine the 740p pairs really well with the Pass, that said, if you have the opportunity I strongly would recommend demo’ing the 860a v2....would really like to get... | |
| Looking for a pre-amp (Pass, ARC, BAT, Sim, PS Audio) Sure. The Ref10 edged out the 740p primarily due to increase in soundstage, a touch of warmth and overall was more engaging and less fatiguing. Detail/resolution were same. I was surprised how well the 740p held up, in my system. I know this may s... | |
| Looking for a pre-amp (Pass, ARC, BAT, Sim, PS Audio) Happy to stumble on this thread as well. I agree that Sim knows preamps. Just completed a 2 week stint of comparing my 740p with an 850p and the ARC Ref 10 in my predominantly Sim system. Definitely had been curious to test the Pass preamps as ... | |
| I'm sure my new Moon 780D can reveal more than what my DH Labs AES/EBU delivers it. Awesome. Did you end up comparing a few? | |
| Diagonal bi-wiew To clarify, my bottom posts feed a driver below 65z. The top posts feed the midrange driver and tweeter. | |
| Diagonal bi-wiew Having tried all 3 combos, the diagonal configuration sounded the best on my speakers. I run V2 speaker cables with V2 jumpers. I conferred with Nordost and my speaker manufacturer before trying. Enjoy! | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k Agree a dealer’s attitude can totally change things.Was it $250 to have them bring the amp down to your home for a demo or for in store? If the latter, that would be quite strange... | |
| High Fidelity Cables MC 1-PRO Well, I can happily report things turned a corner at 100 hours and now at 400, my system sounds the best it has. I was definitely skeptical during those first few days. This is w 2 mc-.05 helix+ on opposite sides of Qbase8 and a mc 1 pro helix+ in... | |
| Innuos Statement Review Thanks for the replies @davidten and hehaw. I do think the point that the source should be as 'accurate' as possible is well taken and has me contemplating further re: server choice. I am looking at some cable and preamp tests to get at the warm... | |
| High Fidelity Cables MC 1-PRO Hi slaw, I have music playing around the clock to let the entire system break in w the pro helix+ and the 2x mc helix 05s | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k Hi @majoradamwest. Looking forward to hearing about your findings and comparisons.+2 on the 860a v2. and perhaps you could stretch for a mono pair.As you may know, audiovisionsf has their demo now broken-in. They also recently started carrying gr... |
