| upgrade advice On another note, I notice that you have VOVOX vocalis speaker cables. I tested some VOVOX sonorous XLR interconnects a while back (they don’t have sonorous anymore, but it’s probably equivalent to the vocalis line). The sound was very balanced and... | |
| upgrade advice @yansad - The PS Audio NuWave looks nice. It has very good power supply and I like the fact that the output stage is Class A and uses discrete elements. I have no direct experience with PS Audio DACs, so you'll have to research on user feedback.... | |
| UP-OCC solid core copper for speaker cable Wow, a resurrection of an old thread. Yes, I totally agree, Neotech cable is completely outstanding. Though, it will be difficult to try to get into a cable building business. A huge part of it is marketing and perception. Also, resale value o... | |
| Help me with the upgrade path @arafiq - Oh, I did say that Oppo support Tidal. However, I just figured out that it requires an IOS/Android device to stream Tidal. So, you would need to use your iPhone / iPad / Android table or phone to connect to tidal and then use that to s... | |
| Is my amp the problem? @almarg - You are totally correct. I didn't even think about the miniDSP. In addition to the input impedance issue, all the miniDSP devices will convert the analog input to digital before doing the crossover processing - then converting back to ... | |
| High Quality Universal Player?? @kalali - yes, you can stream Tidal to the Oppo, but it looks like it must be streamed from a IOS/Android device:https://support.tidal.com/hc/en-us/articles/203131191-Oppo | |
| High Quality Universal Player?? I would not say the 2-prong power cord of the Cambridge is a negative thing. The power connection is still a standard IEC inlet, so you can use any power cord upgrade. Some electronics have a floating internal ground plane and do not use externa... | |
| High Quality Universal Player?? @nutty - that's a very interesting review. I do know from experience that the Oppo requires a long burn-in time (200+ hours). After that, the brightness/forwardness of the highs will calm down. Not sure about the bass. The Cambridge may still ... | |
| upgrade advice I didn’t realize that you were using the Hegel internal DAC. I assumed you were using the Buesound as DAC. That being said, it is still my opinion that an external DAC will do much better than the Hegel internal DAC. I wouldn’t mess around with up... | |
| Is my amp the problem? My guess is that the Crown amp is going to be really weak in regards to controlling the speaker (even though it’s rated at a higher power) -- Class D circuits can have a problem with weak bass when driving woofers. The Modwright amp is probably go... | |
| upgrade advice Yes, I agree. You have a very nice integrated. If it's one thing I have learned through R&D and experimentation is that your source is extremely important. If you don't have the sound quality from the start, there is no way you are going to ... | |
| Help, my system sounds lifeless! I see so many people here pointing to room treatments. I will -partially- agree. The room that he has is not really that great. I can see a couple of problems. The right side of the room is open, which is good, but the left side has these cabinets... | |
| Help me with the upgrade path First thing, since you’re using iTunes to rip your CDs, I would highly recommend that you make sure you are using the "Apple Losseless Codec" when importing direct from CD. Otherwise, you’re losing a lot of resolution that you would never get back... | |
| SS amp for B&W 801ms2 Emotiva XPA1 or W4S SX100 Hey all, at this point, this is just a discussion for the heck of it. The original post is dated back in 2009, so I'm sure he is no longer looking for an amp. Dimora just decided to jump in on this conversation. lol | |
| Denon 4520CI + 4806 combo as pre-pro and power amp Though, looks like Accessories4Less is selling a "factory refurbished" 651R for $699. It's basically used. Up to you. |
