| What one change to your room, system, or setup made the biggest improvement? I started out 6 yrs ago. The Gon was not as helpful and I didnt even know the way to ask the question.. step by step I added this, changed that. But I would say the single immediate improvement was upgrading the streamer andbusing USB.. But al... | |
| Favorite Pink Floyd Album I would have to say Dark Side of the Moon. It tells a story using simple non musical instruments and production techniques to set the mood. I like the next 3 albums as well but Waters tightenened the grip as time went on. | |
| What blues are you listening to today? A Facebook reel of this artist started popping up. Quist. The guitar player is great, very easy to listen to and on Qobuz. Gary Clark Jr. Is another one. Especially live. I am by no means a blues expert but get attached to one's I like. The... | |
| Where to get advice on a new system build Yes. Pass, Luxman, Sugden, First Watt with a tube preamp. Klipsch CW4 Those 3 items used are about 8-10k. A streamer and DAC is about 3K for good quality and sound. About 15k including isolation, filter, cables. | |
| Where to get advice on a new system build Even tho audiophile is supposed to be a dying breed, we have lots of choices. Efficient speakers, small amp. Inefficient speakers, big amp. I personally like Class A. If you want a big Class A amp, they are not that common and definitely take ... | |
| To all Klipsch Heritage fans Hi, I'm an old Klipsch fan. But due to cost, I bought a set of Crites B. I Clear coated them and have nice grills but never put them on. Birch plywood with no bracing or deading. I think they sound better than Cornwall but I use subs. Everythi... | |
| Improving my Bluesound Node 2i The volume in the BLUOS for the Node should be set at fixed. They could have changed the name. Make sure all the settings for the Node are correct. There is also differences in gain between songs. Thank God for remote. Volume leveling lowers ... | |
| A Lesson Learned and The Value of a REALLY GOOD Digital Cable-TUBULUS! On DAC and Denafrips Facebook pages, Tubulus is #1. The one they use is about $1000. | |
| Sound becomes less open/smeared (less detailed) Maybe Bryston would just drop new board it it? They make good stuff. Reliable | |
| Burmester 232 - sound of the Gods. God the preconceived notions coupled with rude. Several examples | |
| Which component(s) benifit the most from isolation? Spikes couple directly to the floor. Energy can go to the floor as well as come back. I use speaker isolation springs. Mainly because they were $30 a set. I have Herbies under everything else. | |
| Do I need an expensive digital cable? I probably won't explain this right. I had a copper Pine Tree Audio digital coax. I bought a new streamer and dac, actually used. Salesman suggested a Nordost Purple Flare USB. USB uses the DAC clock. COAX relies on the streamer clock. I bal... | |
| Do your lights dim when your amp powers up? I have a 1957 house with 100 amp breaker. I have a 20 amp line for stereo. When I turned on the big Yamaha amp turning that on dimmed the lights. Running the Vitamix blender made light above the sink flickered. My insurance company put a mo... | |
| Pass Labs XA25 I have had my XA25 5 years. Great sound | |
| Streamer That Supports Qobuz and Amazon Music? Most streamers run all the services. I had Amazon since their inception. Glitches. Everything you tried to do sent you back. It was a godsend to finally use QOBUZ . All I want to do is sit down and listen not fight software. Then they starte... |
