| Diving into Power... Cable recs for my system and ears....? Don’t make any additional changes until you have around 300hrs on the furu gtx-d rhodium outlets. They suck during break in process and the changes in sound will make you second guess your decision. I have installed 2 of these. And each time the s... | |
| Ultra-thin turntable platter mat from early 1990s (what was it?) Is this it? https://elusivedisc.com/teac-ta-ts30un-un-ryu-washi-reversible-turntable-mat/ | |
| Auralic Support One other solution is to try Qobuz and see if the issue persists. | |
| Auralic Support Glad my solution is working. for when it starts having problems again… | |
| OK, which one? @thecarpathian my friend is running WiiM ultra paired with a Geshelli DAC with a stand mount B&W 707. I heard this combination enough times to know what it sounds like. It’s nice. Everything is about system matching. What I like about WiiM Ult... | |
| High power amp, does it matter at low volumes? @roadcykler nice! From cables don’t matter to amplifiers don’t matter. That’s quite an evolution. Can you share what leads you to this conclusion? | |
| OK, which one? Get both and return the one you like less | |
| High power amp, does it matter at low volumes? SET amp will poop itself with B&Ws. B&Ws need current. It’s not complicated. An amplifier cannot produce current if it doesn’t draw significant amounts of power from the line. It might not be a high wattage amp but if it draws the needed p... | |
| High power amp, does it matter at low volumes? One other important bit with the Pass Labs X260.8 mono amps you get 34 watts of Class A power into 8ohms. This means, if I am not mistaken, 17 watts of Class A into 4ohm speakers. This is enough high current to never exit Class A with your B&W... | |
| High power amp, does it matter at low volumes? I used to own N803. Progression with the amps was as follows - McCornack DNA125, McCormack DNA225, Pass X250.5. Each step up in the amplifier quality increased the performance at lower levels. I lived in an apartment back then and we had a newbor... | |
| What innovative, unconventional cartridge designs can you recommend? Heard the DS Audio W3 at a NY Audio Show on a VPI Avenger table. Backert Optik Phono. All VAC tube amplification chain driving Acora Acoustics MRC3 speakers. Don’t know how much the cartridge contributed to the overall sound but the system as a wh... | |
| Personality @rvpiano you have vinyl, CDs and streaming. Enjoy all three formats and the feelings triggered by each media. Streaming sounds simply fabulous in my system. I don’t spin CDs as I think it’s kind of pointless as my streaming is superior to CD (sold... | |
| Eversolo A10 died - Questions I would sell it before it craps out again. Get a wiim ultra with geshelli dac to hold you over. You can use both in the second system after you get the moon piece. | |
| Upgrade from Pass Labs XP15 Phono @marktheshark Thought you were looking for a phono stage with adjustments on the front panel. Lab12 doesn’t seem to have that feature. Zesto looks cool. And the higher end models have XLR outputs. I was looking into it but it was more than I wan... | |
| Is 7 feet way from wifi access point (ceiling) to stereo risky for noise? Minimum 3ft between wifi router and components and cables. I use EERO 6e Pro mesh network and it’s excellent. You can use a high quality switch to help you place the router further away for components Also - do not use same circuit for your syst... |
