| Fidelium speaker cabke I use concrete rebar chairs - $22 CAN for a pack of 50 at Home Depot in Canada. | |
| Rel Subwoofer phase question Interesting timing on this question for me as I have the same thing going on and it’s got me very confused. I have the two speakers in identical opposite positions in the room down to just a few millimetres and the subs are in identical positions... | |
| Recommendations for a tubed preamp I’ve used both a Trafomatic Reference Line One and Trafomatic Lara with an S5.5 and No.8 Coda with amazing results. Both preamps are outside of your price range unless you can find a used Ref Line One. They do however have a Head2 which is a dua... | |
| Where is the bass on my B&W 802d speakers? What is your room size and what amp are you using? | |
| How do I connect my speaker cables to this Coda Amp I have the same terminals on my #8. I’ve read if you twist hard enough the cover comes off but I haven’t tried and wouldn’t recommend it. One option is to remove the spades and use bare wire or optionally re-terminate with bananas. Let us know ... | |
| Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW! Based largely on this thread I ordered a Smoothlan last Saturday night and it showed up at my door in Canada Thursday afternoon. I’ve tried many filters and isolators in my system with some having a negative impact, some no difference, and some ma... | |
| B&W 802 S2 & MAC 4100? Based on my experience with other B&W speakers, you definitely won’t take advantage of what the 802 S2’s can do with that receiver. | |
| Any Advice for those Listening to Youtube Reviewers? @lanx0003 nice list. One reviewer and Jay I personally would include is Jay’s iyagi with 84.1k subscribers. | |
| Parasound vs Coda I found the Trafomatic on the used market after the brand was recommended to me by a dealer I trust and who I’ve purchased Innuos products from. This is the model but I don’t believe it’s still produced: https://soundfactor.fi/trafomatic-audio-... | |
| Parasound vs Coda I run a Coda no8 with a Trafomatic Reference Line One tube pre and the sound is sublime. I recently tried with the Holo Serene (which I preferred over a Benchmark LA4 with the Coda) but it didn’t have the same magic without the tubes. I also was... | |
| Signalyst HQPlayer - Is it worth the upgrade? @hgeifman I can upsample from 44.1 to 192kHz PCM to DSD256 with most HQPlayer modulator / filter combinations and to DSD512 with some, but I personally prefer DSD256 with some of the more demanding ones. This is with an 8GB M1 MacBook Air. The H... | |
| Signalyst HQPlayer - Is it worth the upgrade? I run HQPlayer and Roon on an M1 Mac Air laptop to an Innuos Zenith as NAA. The sound quality of Innuos Sense is better than Roon (most seem to agree with this), and HQPlayer from Roon is a step up again. I do find HQPlayer sound quality is even... | |
| Recommendation for sub with high level inputs Why not a Sonus Faber Gravis ii? Same lineage as REL. Buy one now and a second later. https://hometheaterhifi.com/reviews/speaker/floor-standing/sonus-faber-sonetto-iii-speakers-with-gravis-ii-subwoofer-review/ | |
| Will increasing speaker cable AWG make a difference in sound quality? @thespeakerdude I am in no way angry. I never get involved in the frequent audiophile forum disputes but I was put off by your comments and felt the need to say something. I’m not sensitive, but for someone to call an area “middle of no where Ca... | |
| Will increasing speaker cable AWG make a difference in sound quality? thespeakerdude You may want to think long and hard on that statement. How did I know it was a little farmhouse in the middle of no where, unless I found it on a map? Not sure where farmer's came into the conversation. Do you go the the loca... |
