New speaker cables recommendations sought
@phillyb Agreed, and well-stated.  I’m happy with my gear and lately have been toying around with reflection points & speaker placement…the impact has been profound! By simply moving the speakers further apart, and closer to the side walls, I’...

@fuzztone @ddude003 @theo @jasonbourne71 @carlsbad2 @audphile1 @milo0812 @audioguy85 @sudnh @jetter  Hello everyone, I arrived at the sound I desired, and thought I’d share my findings. So to begin, the problem -from the outset- was power. Though...

@jetter I considered your proposal but it’s just not feasible in my home.

@sudnh i ordered a couple of new digital cables (BNC to RCA terminated) coax cables that should arrive any day now. Let me break them in for a week or so and I’ll post my findings. As I prefer a warm sound, I went with Arcam early on, though down...

@jetter i ordered two!

@audioguy85  LOL. I got the Qutest used for half price.

@jjss49  What can I tell you, I didn’t hear the difference, and any improvement I hear now may be a function of loudness. My wife says the sound is bigger and fills the room. I agree, whatever the cause.

@milo0812   I need to purchase 2 of these, the other so I can connect the Qutest to my old CD player.

@audphile1 Will do thanks.

@jasonbourne71   Agreed that more voltage —> louder music —> more pleasing to the ear. But whatever the special sauce, I’ll take it. Regarding your DAC recommendation…I’m on a budget (bought my Qutest used). Thanks for the posts.

@theo  Thanks Theo, I have an old Arcam C31 preamp (paired with Arcam P1 monos) so I need all the help I can get. At some point may upgrade to a Rogue Audio tube preamp but that’s down the line.

@theo  See my previous comment.

@ddude003  @fuzztone  Changing the variable line level voltage to 3v seems impactful - the music certainly is louder.  My wife likes the change; maybe I was expecting miracles? Thanks for your input. Charlie

Oh no! I hope that’s not the case.  
Will a Chord Hugo 2 make a music streamer addition obsolete?
@mikekuller  Hey Mike, I bought the Node and the Allo Shanti as well but can’t connect them. The node comes with a 2-prong e55943 type-A power cord (female) while the Shanti has a type single node DC (female). For the life of me, can’t find an ad...
