| PS Audio Perfectwave transport still good? I don’t have the benefit of the 30 day trial as I am in Canada. | |
| PS Audio Perfectwave transport still good? I have a lot of discs but I also have an Auralic Aries G2.1 streamer which keeps me busy. The PWT has a better tone by a little but the Aries may have better width in the sound stage. My amplifier is still new so play time will improve overall sou... | |
| X250.5 vs X250.8 I just received my X250.8 and it sounded good cold and new out of the box. I believe that the Pass Labs combo I now have with the XP-32 preamp and will be the last amp and preamp I will ever own. I now have my retirement system with my Hales T5’s... | |
| To Roon or not to Roon? I had to uninstall Roon from my computer in order to get proper performance from the Auralic Lightning app. Now it works fine with Roon completely uninstalled and deleted. | |
| Hales Transcendence 5 speakers endgame? I don’t know what SOTA stands for but in any case I would imagine that audio speaker technology would not have changed that much in the past 20 years. I could be wrong but the tweeters and midrange drivers in my Hales are still current and availab... | |
| To Roon or not to Roon? I tried to use Roon again and followed the instructions as told to me by a Roon rep by email and not only did it not work for me it screwed up my Auralic app which required to be deleted and reinstalled. I really would like to try Roon but it does... | |
| Keces BP5000 Balanced Power Transformer? I’ve put in an order for the new replacement for the Keces BP5000. There is supposed to be a new and improved unit coming out in April and I’m in for one. I’m very excited. In the very worst case scenario I will just put back my Hydra 2 and Hydra ... | |
| To Roon or not to Roon? Tom. I love the Auralic Aries G2.1. It replaced the PS Audio Bridge II which was connected to my Directstream dac. The Auralic Aries streamer is far superior to the Bridge II. | |
| To Roon or not to Roon? I use my Aries wireless. Yes I use Wifi. I’m hesitant about Roon because of the way it knocked my Auralic and app out of whack. | |
| Keces BP5000 Balanced Power Transformer? I have option for a deal on the Keces. Is it a good conditioner? | |
| Keces BP5000 Balanced Power Transformer? The reason I am considering the Keces BP5000 is that despite my Hydras which help I notice fluctuations in ac quality which have my system sounding better or worse depending on ac quality variations. | |
| Hales Transcendence 5 speakers endgame? The internal cables were upgraded to Cardas Litz when I redid the crossovers and replaced the tweeters with Seas Millennium tweeters. As I listen to them now I prefer them to my Focal Utopia and Audeze LCD4 headphones with Moon 430ha headphone am... | |
| Keces BP5000 Balanced Power Transformer? My speakers are Hales Transcendance 5’s. | |
| Hales Transcendence 5 speakers endgame? I suppose one man’s endgame is another man’s entry level. | |
| X250.5 vs X250.8 I’ve been listening to my new XP-32 for hours now and it keeps sounding better as it is warming up. At 3 in the morning I am listening to my headphones which I did not expect to sound this much better but they do. The X1 is a good preamp but the X... |
