| Speaker cable termination options Great inquiry. I had also made my own speaker cables with 14 GA OFC from Crutchfield and they work great. But, I noticed the banana plugs I had used were not making great contact, and so I wanted to upgrade. My first inclination was ... | |
| upgrade what @shooter41 Definitely acknowledge my response may not be popular, but it's entirely true. I had been invited to an event at Upscale Audio where they were allowing a select 20 people or so to demo both the Rel 6 packs as well as Klipsch Jubilee... | |
| upgrade what Fully agree with many on this post to upgrade your speakers. I had listened to their Sopra 3s and couldn’t stand them...they sounded bright, shallow and thin. My Klipsch Heresy IVs literally blew them our of the water on all grounds. To ... | |
| DAC for WiiM Pro Plus I have the same streamer and have it paired with a Geshelli J2S DAC that’s been modified with Sparkos ss2590 Pro op-amps. They are the front end driving a PS Audio BHK preamplifier and BHK250 amp, Klipsch Heresy IVs, and a pair of Rel S/510 subs... | |
| Linear Power Supply I made the same LPS journey and had purchased a custom dual variable LPS from Pine Tree Audio. The greatly enhanced dynamics, expanded soundstage, and more authorative presentation across all frequencies was very much a welcome surprise. T... | |
| Airlens streamer thoughts @dahodevil Thank you for your insights. Since you changed both the streamer as well as the streamer service, it would be interesting to know which one is doing most of the lifting SQ-wise...Roon or the Airlens? It's good to see the Airlens can... | |
| Airlens streamer thoughts @dahodevil I too have had the Airlens on my radar. But, I have yet to pull the trigger because it doesn't support Amazon Music HD :-( I'm waiting on the sidelines for now, but I increasingly understand support for HD may never come and that I'll... | |
| What about all those Chinese DACs? @knotscott I own a Geshelli J2S and l had upgraded the op amps to the Sparkos ss2590 Pro (note the J2Swas never designed to accommodatean op-ampas large as the SS2590, but they'll fit with less than a mm of clearance), as well as added a custom L... | |
| Considering Schiit equipment I owned the Freya Plus for 2 years, and currently have it posted for sale on USAM. If you want to save money ($650), please feel free to consider my listing. Putting that aside, here are some thoughts for you to be aware of (also discussed in ... | |
| Cardas Audio Parsec Power Cable for Tube Pre Amp I'm using the Parsec coaxial cable going from my streamer into my DAC. It sounds good. Compared to Toslink, it's very slightly warmer and the highs are ever so slightly rolled off. One would never notice those differences unless you were doing ... | |
| Advice on speaker cables. On the cheaper end of the spectrum, you can just make your own. I bi-wire my speakers (not bi-amp), and had purchased a couple hundred feet of 14 gauge OFC cable from Crutchfield, and braided 4 strands of identical length for each terminal, and ... | |
| amp I bought 3 days ago not powering on - electrical engineer advice wanted Consider taking it to George Meyer AV in LA. They specialize in AV repair and did a great job replacing the capacitors in my power supply for a 35 year old Carver. Hope that helps. | |
| Klipsch Heresy IV owners? what amp are you running PS Audio BHK250 amp and a PS Audio BHK preamplifier. A little bit of heaven with both. I barely use much of the power from the amp due to the Heresy’s efficiency. But, that’s the point. 100% agree with idea of adding at least one sub with... | |
| Speaker Advice Welcome Can't comment on either of those speakers, and thus I'll defer to my esteemed HiFi experts. But, consider auditioning either the Klipsch Heresy IVs or Forte IVs. Although I know they are not for everyone (to each their own). They're lively, fun... | |
| What is your impression of vintage Telefunken signal tubes ? @signaforce Sounds like a good plan. I have Amperex 7308 tubes in my BHK250 amp. So far so good. The sound is solid with no noise, nice weighty bass, and soundstaging. But, unfortunately I don’t have any experience with the 6v Amperex. For ... |
