| Upgrade decision, power conditioner or music server I know it’s been a while but I would like to thank all that recommended clean power over improvements to the DAC/Server. I just installed a preowned Shunyata Denali V1. I use WyWires Platinum Power Cords throughout. No change there. Shout out t... | |
| what to do with a stereo that needs repair Did you try: https://www.usatubeaudio.com/warranty/ in AZ. I do not have experience with them. They are a Ayon dealer. They advertise a 30 to 90 day turn around unless special parts are required. Minimum charge $145 per hour. Repair bulled ... | |
| Is Bob Weir Redefining State of the Art Recording? Typo. Spell check. 4.5 fingers down. | |
| Is Bob Weir Redefining State of the Art Recording? @bhvf Agreed. Katja is overly polished; however, a different genera and recording venue. The reference was provided simply as an example of what is technically feasible in live production. The reference to Young is a better example for the gen... | |
| Is Bob Weir Redefining State of the Art Recording? As @bhvf explained, The Dead have always been obsessed produced recordings good sound, driven by the obsessions of the Bear and others with the visually impressive Wall of Sound (JBL, EV, & MAC). However, there were recording limitations to t... | |
| Distinctly Digital Forever? @hickamore There are many excellent recommendations from others where you will not go wrong. I use a Wyred 4 Sound 10th Anniversary DAC with an Aurender N100H and feel the results very “analog” like with dense, three dimensional images, deep/wid... | |
| Will a Chord Hugo 2 make a music streamer addition obsolete? @teh_chucksta Congrats on your purchase. The Node is a nice sounding server with good ergonomics. It will be much better than a PC upstream of your DAC. It will remove radiated and power supply noise audible as hash in the background, improv... | |
| Will a Chord Hugo 2 make a music streamer addition obsolete? @teh_chucksta Stay with your original choice of the Hugo2 or if you can swing the extra $, the Hugo TT. They are much better than the QuTest. As others have informed you all of the Chords are not streaming DACs. You will realize better sound ... | |
| CD TRANSPORT THAT MAKES AN AUDIBLE DIFFERENCE @paul_lindemann I will not be able to facilitate your decision much. I used a Linn Unidisc 1.1 as both a player and transport for 12 years until the laser died and Linn, in all their wisdom, designed a proprietary laser that they no longer manu... | |
| Best Direction/Product Combo DAC/Streamer @muaythai Sorry. Correction. Both the N100H and N150 only have USB in. Your Cambridge will need to only connect to the Wyred4Sound. | |
| Best Direction/Product Combo DAC/Streamer @muaythai You did not indicate a budget or indicate input output requirements. I use a Wyred4Sound 10th anniversary DAC and an Aurender 100H server with a Linn Unidisc 1.1. I believe the Cambridge CXC CD transport only has an SPDIF and Optical... | |
| Name 3 songs where audio quality and song quality completely align Some of my favorites. I can go on but as requested only three. 1. Katja Werka, Music is the Only Language (I Know), Contact Myself 2.0, Stockfish Records. Virtuoso guitar work, phenomenal voice, excellent composition, and Stockfish recording en... | |
| Why Are We Breaking Our Brains? I hope this will not be a second post. I think first time failed. Apology if it is. I also love your analogy and complement you on starting this provocative thread. I agree with your position. Herewith, is my prospective. The education o... | |
| Full range speakers, 40"-44" max height @piramis Listen to the Vivid Giya G3 (45.7”H) or Kaya 90s (47”H) a little over your H-requirement. I currently use the G3. It’s a 4 driver 5 way system. Lower mid, mid, and HF drivers are grouped close like in a monitor. Drivers are time/pha... | |
| Upgrade decision, power conditioner or music server Thank you all for your feedback. I will go with my original gut feel and the consensus of the group in improving power conditioning to a pre owned Shunyata Denali or Audience Adept Response T4 or TS0X rather than improving the server. Clean powe... |
