| Montreal Audio Show - anyone hear the FR30’s? They won’t be at AXPONA. PS Audio was going to show at the 2020 show but when it was cancelled the promoters did not refund any of the exhibitor fees. They lost about $10,000 so they will not be dealing with the promoter in the future. | |
| Vandersteen 3A Signatures with 2 dB difference between L and R Speakers Make sure the adjustments for tweeter and midrange on the rear panel are set the same. (Sorry if that seems obvious ...) | |
| 20 amp cables for PS Audio P20? I’m not sure if a 20A cable will sound different just because it is a 20A cable, but the P20 will provide more power and probably sound a little better when fed with a 20A cable from a 20A circuit. If you only have a 15A circuit no point in the 2... | |
| Are these streams being replaced... node 2i, and PS PS Audio is updating the DS DAC with a Mk II version, supposed to arrive sometime later this year. It will not have provisions for the on-board Bridge though. PS Audio will be bringing out a replacement for the Bridge as a separate box using the... | |
| If you could go to one Audio Fest this year, which one would it be? chorus, where did you hear the info on AXPONA? They had rescheduled for August, but got the “opportunity” to move to the end of October, so to improve the odds they rescheduled (again). My ticket from last year is still good, but have no idea ab... | |
| external DAC with SACD The device twoleftears recommends will do the job of extracting the SACD layer from the disc, however the SACD layer is DSD format and you will need a DAC capable of supporting DSD. Your UltraLink does not support DSD so a new DAC will be require... | |
| Is Pentatone Bailing on SACD? I too enjoy the music on PentaTone and was surprised to read your post on SACD. I checked the PentaTone website and found the following, which indicates not all releases will be SACD, but they have not abandoned it.PENTATONE was founded with the ... | |
| Vandersteen Question I’ve got original Model 5’s and have tried the rear tweeters on several occasions, but always think it is too bright. My room is small and there is a concrete block wall behind the speakers so any rear output gets reflected back. I did have some... | |
| PS Audio Bridge II DAC inputs In order to use the PS Audio Bridge you need to connect it to the network router via LAN cable (CAT 5/6/7/8), not direct to the computer. The computer with the music files (or streaming music from the internet) must also be connected to the same ... | |
| POSTPONA 2020 I watched some of it live and some after the fact. All videos have been posted on the AXPONA page so you can still watch. I’ve watched about 3/4 of them. I should state up front that I’m not a Facebook user, but I was told that was the only way... | |
| Buying in Canada, bringing back to US Northman, if you buy used from a regular store you will still pay sales tax. If you buy from a private party, then probably not. | |
| Buying in Canada, bringing back to US Theoretically, anything manufactured in the US or Canada should be importable duty free. I have never tried a high dollar item, but my wife and I have traveled to Canada many times (we’re about 20 minutes away) and have never had to pay any dutie... | |
| A note from Magnepan about the "30.7 for Condos" tour Josh358, I didn’t recall any ads in Absolute Sound (I no longer subscribe to Stereophile) so I went and looked for them and did find one I recalled seeing. It said they were going “On the Road Again” to “select cities”, but no mention of when or ... | |
| A note from Magnepan about the "30.7 for Condos" tour This is the second time I have seen reference to these speakers and them being demoed at dealers, yet not a peep on the Magnepan website about this. So where does one find information on the speakers (other than these posts) and when and where th... | |
| PS Audio DirectStream DAC measurements by ASR Rather than put my two cents in on this discussion (I have owned a DS for five years) I would suggest reading the thread on the PS Audio site where Ted Smith, the designer of the DS, and many of the forum members respond to the “findings”. See ht... |
