| Canare 4S11"G" now available! @mofimadness I assume you connect the two red wires together and the white and clear wires together for a speaker cable? Have you had the opportunity to compare to any higher end speaker cables? | |
| What are your favorite songs or albums for illustrating a deep soundstage? This is probably a bit grating and avant garde but I really liked the soundstage when I listened to it on my 20.7s last night. "Ozymandias" off the "Dystonia" album. https://open.qobuz.com/track/209334759 | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" @gladmo @verafiaudio I'm confused about how the Swiss Fuse Box gets set for the amperage and slow vs fast blow? On their website there aren't any options during the ordering process. Is this user settable or do they contact you after ordering? | |
| Mofi Sourcepoint 8 vs. Zu Audio Dirty Weekend X I heard the Zu DWX speakers at Axpona being used to reveal differences in Audioquest cables which they did a good job of so in terms of detail and soundstage they were very good. However, I had the Zu Dirty Weekend floorstanders and felt they wer... | |
| Who are your favorite custom amp builders for low powered triode amps? I have really liked my Aric Audio Super 300B SET. https://aricaudio.com/products.php?product=SPR300BSET I am also a big fan of Brandon Wade's amps. I have a custom 2A3 amp from him that I really like. He has been finalizing the design of an ... | |
| VPI JMW 9 wire problem Thanks to @wlutke and @lewm for giving me the confidence to measure the resistance without worrying about damaging the cartridge, and a small brainstorm I had that I could simply measure resistance from an RCA cable attached to the turntable, ... | |
| VPI JMW 9 wire problem @lewm I am using a Dynavector XX2 MKII cartridge. It is 0.28mV output and only 6 ohms impedance. | |
| VPI JMW 9 wire problem @wlutke Yes, I figured out how to unscrew the connector and I didn't see anything obvious inside. I'm not quite sure how to reorientate the pins so that they are correct when I reassemble it. Also, I don't know if it is safe to use a multimeter ... | |
| New Wolf Von Langa SON Owner! Congratulations. I really liked them at Axpona. | |
| AXPONA — PS Audio I went into the room at least 4 times over the three days and heard both the FR20 and FR30 speakers. I was expecting to like them, and had even considered buying them, but the simple fact is I did not think they sounded great. Perhaps it was the... | |
| Thoughts on Gustard X26 Pro I compared the X26 to the Pontus II. I spent two months trying to decide between them. Finally I choose to keep the X26 because it had a more open, detailed, and spacious sound but the differences were small. I now use the R26 which I think is ... | |
| For Gustard R26...which bang for the buck: DDC or LHY OCK clock? @kereru Yeah, my comparison of sine wave vs square wave from the OCK-2 to R26 definitely favored the sine wave. I still think it is crazy that a timing signal can so dramatically impact the sound and is so sensitive to cables etc.. And I am on d... | |
| For Gustard R26...which bang for the buck: DDC or LHY OCK clock? @kereru I am using fairly generic LMR240 50 Ohm and RG402 75 Ohm cables I bought from a chinese seller, bydpete, on ebay. It wasn't clear to me from my reading what the best, affordable cable would be but I'm not going to spend $180 for something... | |
| For Gustard R26...which bang for the buck: DDC or LHY OCK clock? I just got the LHY OCK-2 yesterday. I am using it with the R26 with the Sine wave output and 50 ohm cable and with the EtherREGEN with the Square wave output and a 75 ohm cable. It is still early but I am blown away by what a significant differe... | |
| Pro-ject vs Rega I put an AT-ART9XI cartridge on my P6 replacing the Ania MC and it was a big upgrade. I didn't shim the tonearm to adjust for VTA. |
