| Who says cables don't make a difference? You're right I didn't understand. Peace to you | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? It's not really that hard mahgister. I come to your house and you step outside while I change 1 speaker cable or not. I touch nothing else. I blindfold you, you come back in sit in your favorite place and tell me which cable I changed or didn't.... | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? I hope this isn't true or we'll never find a vaccine for Covid-19. Objective proof with a volontary crowd of guinea pigs and a repeatable experiment not so.... | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? Limomangus I must be crazier than you I use canare 4s11 speaker wire on speakers that cost 3x yours. By my estimation you're sane. The speaker cable elf could swap out my cheapo cables for uber $$$ silver magic cables and I would never hear a diff... | |
| BluOS server with USB out? The DSpeaker X4 has a DAC I would send the other back. I never had a DAC that couldn't do coax correctly that's been around for 40 years. | |
| What's the best non-DAC streamer? If you go with a Roon server get a NUC with an i5 , 256G M.2 SSD and 8G of ram. It will be about $300 cheaper than the Small Green Computer. Don't worry about assembly and installing ROCK Roons OS a trained Chimp could do it. Just follow the direc... | |
| Inexpensive DAC: Schiit Modi 3 or Topping D30 The new Topping E30 at $130 uses the AK4493, either one would be fine. | |
| Can audiophiles detect deficiencies in the hifiberry DAC's? The review on ASR was less than enthusiastic it was recommended as a cheap component but it did have noise in the audible range. The easiest way to compensate is reduce the incoming signal a few dB. I use a raspberry pi4 as a roon bridge into a DA... | |
| good discussion on power cords Grease is required by code where I live on main feed aluminum wire. Other than that I don’t see any reason to make a mess in the box with grease. If it’s an outdoor panel a little dielectric grease might be a good idea to help against corrosion on... | |
| Bluesound node 2i The only problem with wifi would be dropouts as some have already mentioned. You can go into your routers settings and see which channels you're using as well as the channels any neighbors are using. If you happen to be sharing one just change you... | |
| BluOS server with USB out? Is there a reason it needs to be bluOS? Have you tried toslink? | |
| Routers/Ethernet Switch You can only use a modem that will work with Verizon. I assume what you are calling an ISP Verizon router is really a combination modem router provided by Verizon. If you want to change your modem you need to ask them which products work with thei... | |
| Articles You Feel Should be Shared Hilarious. I can only hear the difference when I can see the difference ! | |
| How to accurately gauge speaker sensitivity to match with tube amp? Thanks for the information, just goes to show it's best not to repeat what one has heard for years. I read about 2 hours last night, articles on clipping and tweeter distruction. I think everything both almarg and ieales explained was mentioned th... | |
| Lumin T2 with Anthem STR preamp signal going through both DACs? You could connect the Lumin T2 with digital out bypassing the Lumin DAC and compare that to your Node2i connected by digital to the STR and see if you can tell much of a difference. If you like the lumin better then get the U1 which doesn't have a... |
