| Gain level on a REL sub Hello @highend64 , something doesn’t sound right to me. I am a REL fan with a pair IN two systems. But even with one, it will easily play too loud. First thing, are you sure you have the phase correct? I’m sure you know, but that is the first th... | |
| Wifi vs ethernet revisited Hey @debrajray , no need to explain your keeping the Nautilus 804's. I still have a pair of N802's and a pair of N803's in my vacation home. In my opinion, the Nautilus line were the smoothest B/W ever made. And, at 30 years, with the exception... | |
| Wifi vs ethernet revisited Hi @soix thanks and +1. I was thinking vodka, but yes! | |
| Wifi vs ethernet revisited Here is great information on Switch X and Wifi X and how this wifi has less affect on sound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4V8ZaVv9aoM I think this explains things way better than my attempt. | |
| Standmount speaker suggestion Yes Dynaudio are detailed...but smooth and listenable. I also think they have impressive bass for their size..controlled not boomy. :) | |
| Wifi vs ethernet revisited Hello @sns, Always enjoy hearing from you! Yes clock harmonization and redundancy is an issue. It could easily be an argument for combined streamer / DAC where it would obviously be optimized. Instead, great streamers tend to have upgraded clo... | |
| Standmount speaker suggestion Hi @ullogu1, I am familiar with the B/W speakers, having owned quite a few some years ago. I recently acquired a pair of Dynaudio Contour 20i stand mounts. I am blown away and smitten! In fact so much, I am already moving up to the Dynaudio Co... | |
| Wifi vs ethernet revisited Good Morning @debrajray , I certainly concur that any wifi on the audio LAN can create noise. But the Clean Wifi (wifi on the clean network) is designed to have minimal impact by its designer Chris at DeJitterit. Also, there are no other appl... | |
| Neutral-ish Speaker Cable Hi @jaybe and @soix ! I agree the lower lines of K-S are a bit dark and less resolving on the high end. I initially tried a full loom of Emotion power cables and did not like them as much as the Au24SX. But not true at all of the Elation and Re... | |
| Wifi vs ethernet revisited @debrajray I am getting a headache! I surely don't know. but it seems to me that ANY additional traffic on the clean side is detrimental. Of course it is easy, say on my phone or laptop, to jump to cleanwifi to control my audio if my ipad is awo... | |
| Wifi vs ethernet revisited Hi @debrajray , if your baseline Verizon modem/router is generating two different LANs (for audio and non-audio) on the same subnet, can't you get Roon to discover across LANs and turn off the non-Eero wifi that you've mentioned? So it may... | |
| Wifi vs ethernet revisited Hello OP and friends, So interesting all the different ways to improve digital! Good discussion. I have gone to much effort to improve my digital front end. Many have contributed ideas I have used: Verizon Fios > Verizon Modem (with wifi d... | |
| Neutral-ish Speaker Cable Hello @jaybe , Congrats on your recent upgrades! I in fact had Audience AU24SX, full loom, selected after trying several cable brands and models from the Cable Store. Then my dealer brought over Kubala Sosna Elation speaker cables when he deliv... | |
| Upcoming Trip +1 on the Sony @soix ! I have the Bose for working around the yard (note, sweat ruins the surrounds). the Sony are perfect for flying, sound great and great noise cancelling at this price. | |
| New Magico Speaker Break-in Question Hi @jmeyers, I think the Revel studios (and Salons) are known for their laid back, easy to listen to tweeters. I have owned the Studios and own the Salons. I also have owned YG Haileys in my reference system, and even when fully broken in can ... |
