| New Network Acoustics Tempus switch Hi @lalitk @wsrrsw @soix I posted my thoughts on the Tempus Switch on the What's Best Network Acoustics - Tempus thread. In case you are interested! | |
| USB revisited 🥊 This is good! | |
| Preamp with Parasound A21+ amp? Hello @tjraubacher , I have literally been there. I had Parasound amps and Classe amps and Preamps. The Parasound stuff is built like a tank, sounds good, and lasts forever. I have had A23+, A51 and A21. But they can be on the warm side and n... | |
| WireWorld Chroma ethernet cable Hello @audphile1 , I am considering upgrading my 15m run of Supra Cat 8. Do you still recommend the Purist? Is there a better place to get it than the Cable Co.? Definitely better than the Starlight 8? I have read avoid the flat cables... | |
| Is my amp good enough? Is “sound” not more from the pre amp than the power amp? I was under the assumption that the amp gives the bang for the buck whereas the pre is more for how the sound shapes up, detail, sound stage, etc. No, I would say that is not correct. A... | |
| Is my amp good enough? @neversatisfied said: I am not sure if I would get an honest answer from a salesperson as they might convince me I need a $6000 amp to drive the speakers No you don't need a bigger etc amp to drive your speakers. The NAD is a good amp. But t... | |

| New Network Acoustics Tempus switch Hello @lalitk , I have now spent some time comparing my current JCAT M12 Gold switch with the GTT Switch X and its companion Wifi X. The Switch X sounds better. Soundstage is wider and deeper. Instruments are more separated, background blacker.... | |
| New Network Acoustics Tempus switch Good thought @wsrrsw , but I don’t think the closet helps. Every device on your network sends and receives lots of packets of info. All this info is bombarding every other device on your LAN. I have gone back to M12 and listening for a bit… | |
| New Network Acoustics Tempus switch I was worried about this but I am impressed with the Wifi X range. I have an Eero mesh system with two wired units and one wireless booster for my main wifi.. I needed this for whole house coverage. I also have issues with cell reception. But t... | |
| New Network Acoustics Tempus switch Hi @mgrif104 Exactly. The Switch X creates an entirely new network in your home called 'Clean Network". You have to reboot your Roon core once connected, then your audio is only available on this clean side or clean network. As such, ipads e... | |
| New Network Acoustics Tempus switch Hi @wsrrsw , Once installed and up and running, I have not removed the SwitchX and WifiX. I do not have the VideoX. To my ears, the SwithX sounds better than my M12 Gold with fancy power supply. I have these components on demo from Bill at GTT.... | |
| Integrated for TAD ME1: Luxman, Accuphase or Soulnote? @superelmar I can only speak of the A-2. It is open, airy, detailed and has good bass control. But it does have a sweetness and is not overly dry or etched. I say this with an all SS amp perspective. My only adventure with tubes was with PS A... | |
| Help settle a streaming argument! @niodari At the same time, I think the better is your system, in general, the less you will note the differences, although this may sound contradictory for some guys. Yes this is contradictory to me. The more resolving the system the easier ... | |
| Integrated for TAD ME1: Luxman, Accuphase or Soulnote? It would be fun to hear all three together! I recently picked up the Soulnote A2 for my weekend home. I think it sounds smooth and sweet! I also heard A2, A3 and Soulnote separates that all sounded great at CAF. A2 seems like the value spot! ... |
