| Clear Day Cables Double Shotgun vs. Analysis Plus Big Silver Oval I have not heard the Analysis but I once was a Clear Day user from Double Shotgun to all single and balanced IC’s. Paul was a great guy and made wonderful cables that definitely embarrassed many more expensive offerings by many and I tried several... | |
| Speaker cable recommendation What other speaker cables have you tried and what is the rest of you cables as far as IC and PC’s? I like WyWires. There’s some WyWires Platinums here in your budget you might want to read up on. I use a mix of WyWires and Nordost in my system so ... | |
| Meridian 800 DVD/CD Version 4 I have never listened to a Meridian 800 series CDP, but that being said I wouldn’t look light at that player as it may be older, it was state of the art in its time and I bet it still outperforms much today. The concern about the transport is vali... | |
| Looking At CD Players I own both an Oppo 205 (stock) and a Cambridge 851C and the Cambridge is hands down better to my ears. On both players I use the same balanced WyWires Silver IC’s and Nordost Vishnu PC’s. The Cambridge does have two Synergistic Black fuses so mayb... | |
| Are Pass Labs amps good at low volume levels? Should be fine. My X250 sounds very good at low volume. It’s all about the synergy of the equipment, clean power, equipment/rack isolation and room treatment more than just the amp I feel. If you achieve a system that is revealing it will sound ve... | |
| Drum throne suggestions Very happy with my DW 9000 series with backrest. Very comfortable and well built, but heavy and takes a decent footprint so space can get tight. | |
| Audio Research D200 & Audio Research Classic 60 Familiar with both and owned a 100.2 which I sold a few years back and should have kept. If you offered me any of the three I’d take the 100.2 and I bet between the three will cost you less as well. Between the two though... I’d probably take the ... | |
| Reasonably priced 15 foot USB cable for laptop to DAC? +2 on the Supra. | |
| how hook up bluesound node 2 to external dac Might depend on your DAC. I use coax. If you have an Ayre Codex for example then USB as it doesn’t have S/PDIF. Toslink should be your last option in my opinion. Always best just to try each and judge for yourself. | |
| Proceed CD Library Maybe there’s someone still at Lyric HiFi that can help you or inquire within Lexicon for the answer. Didn’t the Lexicon line under Harmon International take over Madrigal when they closed the doors? The original owners of Proceed were the Lyric o... | |
| Schitt Yggdrasil Vs. Bluenode 2i (Shock!) I find the difference with my Vault 2 by its own or running into the DAC of my Cambridge 851c to be very noticeable and that being the Cambridge is more refined at both the top and bottom being more extended. The Cambridge is more open and relaxed... | |
| CD Spinners Help Needed: Pioneer Elite PD 65 or Enlightened Audio Design T 1000 As a transport I wouldn’t expect much difference between the two; both used the Pioneer stable platter. Been years but I’ve had them both at home, (years ago worked at a shop that sold both) and much preferred the The Theta Data Basic Transport ei... | |
| Vault 2 Love mine. I just use my iPhone - it’s easy peasy. Can’t speak for anything phone or tablet other than apple products. I haven’t tried anything hi res as I have been very happy with Tidal HiFi and my own collection of CDs I have ripped. What are y... | |
| AMP or Preamp I don’t believe the new ModWright KWH 225i is shipping yet but this might be something decent to hold you over in the meantime or use the rest of your cash to get a proper table.https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis9fiei-modwright-kwi-200-stereo-i... |
