| DAC upgrade I owned the Qutest and RME they were both nice Qutest had better sound stage. I have the Pontus. Iris was eye opening for $350 used, I think it’s a must. The big shocker was adding the fairly cheap Wire World silver sphere hdmi over a $25 hdmi. It... | |
| Class A, A/B vs Class D amp Soundstage I’ve owned PS Audio class D. It was a must to leave amp on 24/7. If amp was put back in the system it could take 3 to 5 days before things sounded correct again. A/B amps would take maybe 24 and at most 48 hours and class A tube a few hours. Why c... | |
| Help choosing a DAC I had a CJ cav45 S2 with the Pontus and borrowed a Venus and I can relate to Vishines thoughts between the two. I think the Pontus has the relaxed character of the CJ. Venus is just a little different. If you are trying to branch out from CJ sound... | |
| REL owners, how many clicks on your gain and crossover Roose, “put there garbage out” sorry I don’t get it. The subs are set up correct, I did list everything first post, 42hz, if you need speakers there Pulsars, reference 3a reflectors, I put room size and asked if people if they would like to put th... | |
| REL owners, how many clicks on your gain and crossover Roose, why don’t you understand rel says everyone will probably end up around 15 clicks. Why can rel claim how many clicks but I can’t ask how many clicks, makes no sense. I’m finding all tracks are sounding best between 2 and 3 clicks on gain... | |
| REL owners, how many clicks on your gain and crossover Thanks everyone for there advise but I have read the manual, watched all the videos days ago and have set the sub the way I like it for now, it’s still breaking in. I have owned many subs but used in home theater only. I tried them 15 or so yea... | |
| REL owners, how many clicks on your gain and crossover I don’t think it’s foolish. Rel videos say 15 clicks -3/+3. That’s way to much for my room. I’m now using both red and yellow wires into amp. I’m running 4 clicks on gain right now as I explore what’s going on. I said I know all rooms are differen... | |
| Very small room! Help me with monitor speakers He might have bought something by now he’s had 3 1/2 years to look. Hell while I’m here Reference 3a Decappo and a rel t5x | |
| Streamer to Denafrips Iris to Pontus need cable suggestions please I’m going to order the DH Labs hdmi, I hear some say the shorter the better. I may even be able to go half meter but is this necessary? What is the break in period on hdmi, I hate breaking in cables. | |

Guy that sold me Iris threw in a a DB Labs The Essential USB for $20 extra,retail $300 have no idea if it’s good or not so I’ll use it for now. The Iris is the 12th so it has the added RJ45 cable... | |
| Help with tube choice I have the Amprex gold pin, SQ, PQ’s all seem brighter in my system than the bugle boy. Valvo’s are mellower, Orange globe are brighter than white lablel amprex gold pin SQ,PQ. Bugle Boy can be a Goldilocks tube sometimes. if your preamp takes... | |
| Help with tube choice Bugle boy, if you want to save some money Brent Jesse has some Hewlett-Packard 6dj8 that are just rebranded Bugle Boys for a cheaper price. There are many to choose from but the Bugle Boy is a nice place to start a collection. | |
| Suggestions for Giant Killer rca coax digital cable under $500 used charyro, new dac would be nice but would like to try a cable first. Does spdif not have as big of an if impact as your typical interconnect? What do most people use USB or balanced or other? I listen to mostly records so not even sure if sp... | |
| Suggestions for Giant Killer rca coax digital cable under $500 used Honestly I never called with any concerns with ohm’s and never brought it up. I only asked which is better cable the mc2 or Absolute and he told me how balanced mc2 has higher ohm’s and rca has lower and Absolute is 75 ohm’s. He then recommended t... | |
| Suggestions for Giant Killer rca coax digital cable under $500 used I’m same way I care less about ohm’s just if it sounds good. Why would AZ prefer the absolute over the mc2. I’ve heard nothing but good things about mc2. Mc2 is only cable I considered or knew about before this post. |
