| Sharing my experience with cables Thank you for your posts, very helpful. Over the last two years I continued my power cables experiments for my Raidho and Devialet 220 Expert Pro. The best solution so far was a Siltech classic 680 . Very good match with the Raidho ribbon tweet... | |
| Sharing my experience with cables I keep experimenting with cables, as there are no measurements to helps us in this quest. I live in the country where power is unstable, blowing up led lights occasionnaly. So I started to look for a surge protector which would not choke the amp... | |
| Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line I have two N100H on two systems with Raidho X3 and Q500 speakers. In both cases the Aurender is cleaner thah Raspbery Pi or UPNP, by a lot. The conductor app is great, V3. I tried a variety of internet cables , switches and Uptone etherregen. ... | |
| Music Server Advice The Aurender app is fine for me It lets you build playlists by mixing locally stored and Qobuz streamed music. But where the Aurender really shines is the sound quality. Much better than anything I hear before. It is due to the fact that music is... | |
| The best speaker cables you’ve had I had MIT, Transparent , Luna. The latest I got was Transparent Ultra. It made the sound much closer to live studio than anything I hear before. My dealer (not sellingTransparent ) was also shoked. I got them used , bi wire. | |
| Borresen X3 at Axpona I have Raidho X3, designed by MB . 4 mid bass drivers plus a woofer. They give a laid back scene. The bass is helped by a Devialet amp with the SAM technology. They go really low and dense. But their biggest quality is the absence of distortion, c... | |
| DAC for second system For office use, I think convenience and practical aspects are major. I would look into active speakers. I agree with Pontus (I have one), but I think it is overkill for office. Dali or Bluesound speakers with a bluesound node will let your collea... | |

| Qobuz hell I have been a Qobuz subsciber since their beginning in France. Hi Res was is still is audibly better than cd quality. I used Slimdevices transporter and now Aurender NH100 which ties in to Qobuz nicely. I also bougnt many hi res albums (over 10... | |
| The Right Speaker Cables In the last year I build a new no 1 sound system with Raidho X3 and upgraded another one with Q Concept 500. In the process, I tried various speaker AND power cords. The latter have a big influence on the sound balance, i.e more or less open . Her... | |
| Recommendations for good sounding streamer I had Logitech Transporter, then Bluesound Node 2i and now a N100H by Aurender. The Aurender has more refined, clean soud and its USB output is great. The music is cached by a SSD, isolating it from a lot of noise. Qobuz hires is indistinguishab... | |
| Mesh network versus a simple Wi-Fi extender Range extenders worked for a few years, but as more devices use the wifi in my home, I started to have drop outs. TP Link power extenders got that fixed for a few years, while the Internet service went from 10 to 50 to 350 GHz, but drop outs retur... | |
| So, I listened to a $1Million Dollar System I had Wilsons and Transparent for close to 10 years, 10 good years. I also had a subwoofer. I auditioned large Wilsons with Peter McGraw and each time the feeling you get is that there is music in front of you, not speakers. Same feeling I got las... |
