| Audioquest or Kimber kable. I have the Aria 936 and went from the Rocket 44 to Kimber 8tc. I much prefer the Kimber. The AQ seemed to suck the life out of my system. The Kimber, to me, are very neutral You had a gold-plated spade/banana on the Rocket 44. The solid-core ... | |
| Using a Rel Sub with a dedicated center channel I have seen only a very few movies where deep bass effects are mixed into the center channel. Most movies will mix bass into left/right or the .1 LFE channel. A subwoofer attached to the center channel signal won't really make any difference in ... | |
| Finally took the Bryston 4B Cubed plunge @xcool - I have found that the Parasound amps are not necessarily bass monsters. In fact, you need a really good high current low resistance power cord to improve the bass on JC1 monoblocks!That being said, the Bryston are not bass monsters eithe... | |
| Home theater couch? Couches are not something that you can buy just by recommendation. You will have to sit on a lot of couches to find something that works with your body. It might be that a couch will always have problems with your back. They aren't usually buil... | |
| Audioquest or Kimber kable. I use a double-run set of Rocket 44 speaker cables that are terminated with Furutech rhodium spades. The Rocket 44/88 are the best wire that Audioquest makes before you get into the silver-plated or battery stuff. Also, I would avoid any cable t... | |
| THOUGHTS PLEASE- also emotiva.......? If you are at the $2400 budget and looking for a receiver, I would suggest Marantz (if you want a warm sound) or Anthem (if you want a faster crisper clean sound). Emotiva doesn't make receivers. I haven't listened to their new processors, but t... | |
| Getting the most out of streamed video: Netflix and Plex (with NVIDIA Shield Pro?) Wow, thanks for finding all that! I had not researched down in the weeds that deep yet. I've done some more research today and it seems all of these high end players are not Google certified and are actually still using very old Android OS versi... | |
| DIY Power cables..Are metal end plugs better than plastic? The SonarQuest plug cases look a lot like the Wattgate cases. I wouldn't worry too much about this. They are durable enough to hold onto as you plug/unplug your power cords. I don't really use the strain relief on power cord connectors because ... | |
| B&W 800 D3 owners, what speaker cables are you using? I'm using a double-run of Audioquest Rocket 44, chopped and re-terminated / soldered onto Furutech FP-201 Rhodium spades. Best of both worlds. Really excellent quality multiple-awg solid core conductors (close to OCC copper) combined with the be... | |
| Recording Streaming Audio? So, technically speaking, you do not have the right to fully own and playback music at any time if you have recorded it from a streaming source. When you buy a CD or audio file from a distributor, you are actually buying the "license" to own and ... | |
| Aurender N10 If you are looking at R-2R DACS, the Audio-GD products are also excellent.The Denafrips Terminator is excellent I'm sure. It is voiced just slightly laid back (due to the Elna Silmic capacitors used in power supply). The Audio-GD is not going to... | |
| Aurender N10 As far as USB goes, it really depends on how good the USB receiver board is within the DAC. If is is using an Amanero board, then you can definitely get really good sound out of a USB connection. The Amanero board has to receive the USB data and ... | |
| Where/How can I further improve PC audio quality? The solution I'm going to try is a better card that has only digital outputs and claims to support asynch for improved clocking and a claimed low jitter output. Just out of curiousity, what card are you going to get? | |
| Upgrading front 3 speakers to GoldenEar Triton Reference or B&W Nautilus 800? @hoboboston - your front three speakers (left/center/right) should all be the exact same manufacturer / series. Otherwise, you will have noticable sonic signature difference across the front stage during movies. This is not a good thing. The su... | |
| Getting the most out of streamed video: Netflix and Plex (with NVIDIA Shield Pro?) I have read that some of the newer Zidoo players support HDR and Dolby Vision, but Dolby Vision is not listed directly on the website. You may want to email them to make sure.As far as I can tell, Dune and Zappiti do not have Dolby Vision yet. T... |
