| Power for two subs. Maybe have an electrician run an additional circuit? | |
| Streamer Recommendations @bheyamoto Innuos Pulse. It has great sound and a great app. | |
| USB Cables: beginning the rabbit hole @dvvilkins I will save you a lot of time. The Inakustik Reference and Wireworld Platinum Starlight 8 will fit your bill. You need to spend $3k to better them, and that will only be by a little bit. Been there and done that. Best of luck! | |
| Soulution 331 vs Gryphon Diablo 333 Sooo...... I was able to demo the Soulution 331. All I can say is "wow'. It was paired with Magico A5s. The quality of the bass was most impressive; it was very clean and tight. The midrange and highs were magical, more so holographic. The placeme... | |
| Auditioned Wilson Sabrina X vs B&W 803D4 and Shocked @inthesticks I think it may be a little about placement and my likes. The dealer is authorized, and the speakers were placed within the tape marks. Interestingly, the B&Ws were haphazardly placed. Unfortunately, due to the intricacies of Wil... | |
| Soulution 331 vs Gryphon Diablo 333 @at0310t Please post your impressions of the 331; you would be one of the first since even professional reviews are scarce! Thanks! | |
| Soulution 331 vs Gryphon Diablo 333 @inna I'm using a pair of KEF Reference 1 Metas. This is not my endgame speaker, though. Hearing the Diablo 300, I know how powerful they are, especially in the bass. The new Soulution 331 is supposed to be a unique-sounding component. | |
| Soulution 331 vs Gryphon Diablo 333 @russellrcncom I checked on the MSRP of the Soulution, and it's $33K without the DAC and phono. Dealers are not explaining this on their websites. I have heard the Diablo 300 and was impressed; the Soulution will be more difficult to demo, though! | |
| Where to put best interconnects @jafreeman I have had the most improvement from source to preamp. I just auditioned a pair of Audioquest Dragons vs. Thunderbirds. I was astounded that the Thunderbirds held their own from preamp to amp; however, the Dragons were substantially b... | |
| Aries Cerat Helene vs MSB Premiere DAC vs Lampizator Pacific 2 @onlysomany I have the Helene, which I love. Sounds like live music without a hint of digital. A plus is that you can alter the sound by changing the bias, a unique feature of this DAC. I can only imagine what the Kassandra II sounds like! | |
| New Amp Advice @kerrybh There appears to be a lot of love for the Michis; regarding sound quality, they present a good value/performance option; however, they are not in the class of the amps on your wishlist—anyone who tells you other needs to see an audiolog... | |
| XLR cable placement @marshinski15 I have always had the best results placing the best cables from the source into the preamp. I just did a demo of Audioquest's Dragon compared to my Thunderbirds (from my preamp into my amp). I was surprised that the Thunderbirds he... | |
| Stereophile review of the new Wilson Watt/Puppy @fsonicsmith +1 If you pay for a full-page ad monthly, your products instantly get a 'product of the year' recommendation. I recently bought into this hype regarding the stellar review of Wilson's Sabrina X. I had money in hand and did a demo. ... | |
| Tweaking Your Speaker Placement @tony1954 If your speaker stands are on hardwood flooring, tilt the stands and place an old T-shirt under the Gaia's. They will move like they are on ice. Also, you are lucky you don't own Wilson's; you would need to make 1/32-inch adjustments... | |
| BEST SPEAKER THAT COMES TO LIFE AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS @kjl1065 A little of "out of the box thinking," do yourself a favor and try a home audition of either Shunyata's Everest or Typhont T2/Denali combo conditioners. I do listen at a low level quite frequently and was astonished at what my Typon/Den... |
