Loud pop/screech when powering on amp
Thanks so much @soix! Never saw this in the manual and never heard of this? But again the Shunyata cord plugs in the same way as the stock cord, no? Any idea how I could contact bigkidz?  
Loud pop/screech when powering on amp
Thanks @immatthewj , so why would the original power cord make any difference do you think?    Thanks @erik_squires, ya I guess that’s the best place to start local shop.    So when I got home I flipped the main power switch in back on. Then the... 
Loud pop/screech when powering on amp
Thanks for the replies! @noromance i don’t recall seeing anything about red dot hot side? Do you think using the original power cable will help? @soix the manual does recommend turning off the front power switch when finished because she does run... 
Streamer/DAC combinations
Just got into streaming a couple of months ago. I started with the Node on its own while I waited for my USB cable to connect to my Pontus II 12th and I was truly blown away! The Node on its own sounded great but when I got my USB cable (Synergist... 
At what point do you...
Thanks @hsounds always love to hear endorsements from those with the experience. Especially after I’ve already pulled the trigger😊! What’s weird about the NRG’s is that I couldn’t find anything anywhere about their specific recommended usage. Most... 
At what point do you...
Well, I did it. Just purchased the 2 open box NRG-4’s. Got an extra 10% as well. By the way the $499/$449 was just for hypothetical purposes. I got 2 6ft NRG-4’s for a final cost of $304. The extra 10% expires end of day. I already had aftermarket... 
At what point do you...
Great responses. Thanks All for taking the time to share your thoughts/experiences. @immatthewj  Music Direct is EXACTLY who I had in mind when I posted. They quite often offer open box items but it's usually not a significant savings, however it'... 
Sonus Faber Sonetto V’s Thoughts Requested
I have said the EXACT same thing. I don't care how amazing a particular speaker may sound, if it looks like an alien or a UFO, I'm not buying it. I find all the high-end speaker manufacturers after about their mid-level lines they start getting cr... 
Finally received my SimAudio Titan back!
@btw22 glad this helped. I brought mine to Sim right at the start/peak of the Covid thing. I’m sure their turnaround time I must be quicker now? It killed me to be without her for that length of time, but like I said I got the Monolith so at least... 
Sonus Faber Sonetto V’s Thoughts Requested
Indeed, looks alone are reason to go with Sonetto👍🏻. Grills off they’re even more classy and elegant looking. Something about that silver ring around those drivers😂! Honestly sometimes I’ll walk by and just stop, sit, and stare and admire them wit... 
Sonus Faber Sonetto V’s Thoughts Requested
To clarify I’d give the overall nod to Revel F208’s over the V’s.   
Sonus Faber Sonetto V’s Thoughts Requested
@dbeckwith so I have had my Sonetto V’s for 3 weeks now. At this point they are fully broken in. I have been driving them with an Audio Refinement Multi 5 amp. My first serious listening session was this afternoon. The same warm sound as the III’s... 
Clean power and it's affect on sound quality
How about vibration isolators for the remote control, couldn't that help sound quality as well?   Sorry couldn't resist...😝  
Transparent Audio is anything but Transparent
Sorry to hear about your experience. I have actually had GREAT customer service from them always. Every time I call/email Ian has been so super responsive and up front. I live in NH, and they're in ME so every time I order I get my cables next day... 
Ever have terminated speaker wires crossed/mislabeled from manufacturer?
How exactly do you use the continuity meter?
