| Cardas Clear or AudioQuest Carbon USB cable I've used both and settled on the Cardas. IMO, the Cardas is a little smoother and more musical and the AQ is a little more incisive and dynamic at the fringes. Like everything else, though, YMMV. | |
| Innuos owners. Chime in I have an Elrod Silver PC on a MKII and have tried a few others - they all provided an upgrade from stock, IMO. I agree 100% with antigrunge2 - isolation seemed to yield great benefit as well. I tried Isoacoustic and Stillpoints and actually ended... | |
| Experiences by Owners of Lyngdorf Integrated Amps using the Room Correct feature I heard the 2170 at a friend's house and we compared it against a Pass 250.8 and a xp10. I don't recall the speakers as he has since changed them. It sounded pretty good and tamed some nodes he has in his very square listening room, however it los... | |
| Isoacoustics don’t seem to work for me, help Another vote for the Townshend podiums. They work really well. | |
| Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon? After reading through all the posts I had to try this update for my Zenith MKII. I was on version 1.4.9, so I hadn't updated it in awhile. It wasn't possible to compare Sense immediately against 1.4.9 due to download and update times, but regardle... | |
| GaN Amp & Speaker Popping Sound At Power On I don't know about the GaN400, but the Merrill Veritas amps (class D) I had were meant to be left on at all times - and honestly sounded better to me after a day or two of constant power. | |
| Any experience buying or selling to the Audio Foreign Office in Portugal? I go where the gear takes me :) | |
| Any thoughts on Pass X150.8 ? I have heard the 150.8 vs. the 250.5 and the xa25 (along with Parasounds JC1s, Merrill Veritas, and lastly a Gryphon Diablo 300. The 150.8 was the most analytical of the pass amps - I liked the 250.5 the best of the Pass. The xa25 was a little too... | |
| Open House With Audio Components Pack it up. We held a couple of open houses a few years ago and you would not believe how many people were distracted by the gear instead of looking at the house. Fast forward a week, all the gear was put away, and suddenly the realtor got "real" ... | |
| I saved alot of money. Anytime you can find sound you enjoy, that is all that matters. Happy listening! | |
| Wyred4Sound Modified Sonos Just want to offer my two cents. I have the Modded Sonos and also have an Innuos Zenith MK2. The Sonos probably gives you 75% of what the Innuos does. Where the Zenith separates itself is in the air/space around instruments, as well as the ability... | |
| Network streamer that works with Android and Pandora Another solid option is to have Wyred4Sound mod the sonos. The sound quality gets substantially better. Not as good as an Innuos Zenith MKII, for example, but honestly you have to sit and critically listen to hear the differences. | |
| Aeris speakers amp I'm glad if any of my thoughts help you as you try to determine your next steps. It should be noted that I haven't tried tubes with the Aeris - I was referring to the Parasound JC1 monoblocks, the original version. I'm hearing wonderful things abo... | |
| Aeris speakers amp Congrats on the Aeris! I own a pair and have been very happy with them for a few years now. I can share my experiences and if they are of some help to you, great. I have tried a pair of JC1s, Veritas, an XA25, a 150.8, and finally a Gyphon Diablo ... | |
| How to judge an amplifier's performance with a "powered-woofer" speaker? I've had a few speakers with powered bass and a few without, and weirdly it was easy to tell amp changes on the powered guys. Even though they don't have a load on the low end of the spectrum, the amp still typically contributes down to 80hz, mayb... |
