| InnuOS Sense 2.6.0. @antigrunge2 @jon2020 - Thanks for the advice! I ended up turning up the volume to 100% on the Innuos ZENith and used the LTA preamp exclusively for volume. That seems to have made a difference… I don’t quite understand why, but it made a positive... | |
| InnuOS Sense 2.6.0. My initial enthusiasm has faded a bit. After a week or so of listening, I hear better resolution but I’m now aware of some “digital glare.” What had been a relaxed presentation now sounds a little forward and, I hate to say it, irritating. It’s... | |
| Suggested Power Cable for Streamer All - Really appreciate all the input. From my end, for the record, I've come to believe some details - even the power cables - do make a difference. Have I deluded myself? I guess it is possible... It's important to be self-aware on your foibl... | |
| Suggested Power Cable for Streamer @audphile1 - Thanks for Nordost recommendation. I'll look into that cable. Regarding the Ultimate cable, I've heard some folks say that their systems got a little bright. If there is one thing I want to avoid, it's brightness/treble glare. My wife... | |
| Suggested Power Cable for Streamer @lwin - Thanks, Iwin. Having spent a good chunk of my life in the Bay Area, I've been curious about VooDoo cables since getting into the hobby. Thanks for the recommendation! Btw - do you have any personal experience with those cables? | |
| InnuOS Sense 2.6.0. @jon2020 - I am also curious about how a firmware update can have such a profound change on the sound. I didn’t expect such a radical upgrade. | |
| InnuOS Sense 2.6.0. I just made the update this morning around dawn. The change in sound quality isn’t minor. Rather, I’m hearing substantially more weight and body to the music. And the clarity has improved. I’d been thinking about looking at some other music server... | |
| Looking for 200 watt Amp to drive Dynaudio Heritage speakers @grislybutter - I tried to upload a photo but wasn't able to on first try months ago. I'll try to find some time this weekend to share my set-up. It's been a labor of love putting everything together and happy to provide a photo for you and the fo... | |
| Looking for 200 watt Amp to drive Dynaudio Heritage speakers @atmasphere - Thank you. I appreciate the detailed write-up and explanation. I know your class D amps are well regarded and am a bit surprised they were not suggested earlier in the discussion. Food for thought for me moving forward. | |
| Looking for 200 watt Amp to drive Dynaudio Heritage speakers Hi Everyone - THANK YOU for all the suggestions. It is really illuminating to hear about all the suggested options. @grislybutter - Feeling guilty from GrislyButter's comment, I lugged the HS Speakers upstairs and move the QLN Prestige 3 to the... | |
| Puritan PSM156 @audphile1 - Using their classic cable that came with the unit. I'll upgrade when funds allow. @mclinnguy - Thanks for those estimates. Sounds about right! Update - I guess I'm about 30 hours in with burn in. I continue to be impressed with Pu... | |
| Puritan PSM156 Finally purchased my second Puritan unit, the156. I'm currently burning it in on my second system in my office. Such an odd journey this world of audio equipment takes us on. On classical music, the 156 has immediately improved the sound top to b... | |
| Sweet Sounding DAC Older thread, but happy to come to the defense of the Gold Note DS-10. I use this Dac with its external power supply and really enjoy it. Running it with a Luxman 590axii Class A amp and Buchardt s400 mkii speakers in my second system in my office... | |
| Help With New Preamp Decision I would love to hear all those contenders. I own the Linear Tube Audio Microzotl preamp. Since placing it into my system, I’ve lost interest in upgrading my preamp. I still think about upgrading my Dac, or possibly my tube amps at some point in th... | |
| Conrad Johnson Classic 120se vs. Linear Tube Audio 40 Reference Amps @ghdprentice @decooney @lancelock @jafant @marco1 @paulcreed @jjss49 @cellorover I realized I never reported back after pulling the trigger on a used Conrad Johnson Classic 120 using 8 EL34 tubes. The verdict? I could not be happier with... |
