| Chat, A-S class D and Klipsch If you're up for doing a little driving in Colorado, you might want to head over to Boulder to listen to the PS Audio Aspen FR10 speakers. That's what I'm using with my A-S monoblock amps, and they sound wonderful together! | |
| Floor spikes for speakers? In my experience, any vibration-control products you put under speakers should ideally perform three basic functions: (1) reduce transmission of vibration from speaker-to-floor and from floor-to-speaker; (2) provide a stable base so that the speak... | |
| Anyone own one of these preamps ? I just want to support what @stevehardy1 said in his earlier post. The PS Audio PMG Signature preamp is wonderful and would be a great addition to your friend's list. This preamp is transparent, dynamic, sweet, and non-fatiguing, and there are man... | |
| SHUNYATA RESEARCH VRS CARDAS AUDIO VRS SYNERGISTIC RESEARCH Don't dismiss the Shunyata Alpha-X power cables without trying them. I am using the Alpha-X NR cables to power my PMG Signature preamp, PS Audio Mk2 DAC, and Innuos Pulsar streamer, and they sound fantastic. These cables are sweet and smooth in my... | |
| Has anyone auditioned Focal Kanta 2 vs PS Audio FS 10’s ? I know the Focals only by reputation, which tends to be mixed in my experience. I know that some listeners love the speed and clarity Focals are known for, while others consider them too bright and edgy. On the other hand, I have lived with the ... | |
| Shunyata X series power cords @Ryder I stand by my comments from last June about the Alpha-X and Theta power cables. I don't have any experience with the Furutech cables you mentioned so I can't comment on those. I also have never listened to the Sigma-X NR cables, although I... | |
| Replacing Roon - What Should I get? I want to reinforce the comments from @soix about the Innuos Sense app. I know several high-end audio dealers who consider Sense to be superior to Roon in sound quality, ease of use, and stability. Roon has a well-deserved reputation for having a ... | |
| Expanding the Class D Conversation: How Would You Characterize Their Differences? @hilde45 Great comparisons! Can you share any thoughts on how the AGD amps compare to your Pass XA25 amp? Also, do you think you'll be able to demo a pair of Atma-Sphere Class D monoblocks to compare to the AGDs? | |
| Expanding the Class D Conversation: How Would You Characterize Their Differences? Like @doni above, I have not been able to compare my Atma-Sphere GanFET Class D monoblocks to any of the AGD amps. I have also not had the pleasure of listening to any of the Orchard amps. Fortunately, I am very happy with my Atma-Sphere amps, so ... | |
| USB cable recommendations @signaforce I also want to apologize for taking a bit of a detour away from your questions about USB cables. So getting back on task, I have a few comments about USB options. Several years ago, I did a shoot-out by borrowing several USB cables ... | |
| USB cable recommendations @danmar123 Congrats on the Pulsar! I added one last year to my Innuos streaming system. I'm now using my Zen Mk3 as a server only, while the Pulsar functions as an Innuos Endpoint. The Pulsar has been a wonderful upgrade for streaming, with part... | |
| Preamp Upgrade Advice Anyone looking for a preamp under $10K should definitely look at the PS Audio PMG Signature preamp. Designed by a brilliant young engineer, Darren Myers, this preamp excels at transparency, naturalness, and openness of soundstage, while never soun... | |
| Considering Vandersteen Treo @zlone Good questions about the off-axis performance of the Aspen speakers. The horizontal dispersion of the Aspen tweeters and midranges is excellent, producing a very wide soundstage. The vertical dispersion is not as wide, but it's still quite... | |
| Considering Vandersteen Treo @fastricky To respond to your post, I'll add a few more comments about the PS Audio Aspen FR10 speakers, first about the mids/highs and then about the bass performance. After listening to the FR10s for over 10 months now, I have become addicted t... | |
| Modern equivalent of Cardas Golden Cross @retiredaudioguy Great characterization of the sound of Clear Reflection cables as "organic" and "like music in a real space." Maybe that's why Angela Cardas prefers the CR cables to any of the other cables in the Cardas line. In my system, I'v... |
