| Do Costly XLR Cables Make A Difference? Have to agree with the above analysis. With improvements in digital, in your case your $$$ are better spent upgrading your digital components. At least that's been my experience. | |
| Review: Denafrips Ares II @ mceljo & pmm Ditto, ditto, ditto ;-) | |
| Do Costly XLR Cables Make A Difference? I can only answer your question based on my own personal experience in a similar situation using Cardas. Upgraded from Clear to Clear Beyond from my source to my preamp. Forgetting the $$$ for a moment, very similar to what you are asking, yes ... | |
| Cable brands that work well with Cardas? @decooney Coincidentally I used AP Solo Crystal before I got into Cardas. Still have several pairs in my closet. I'll give intermixing a try too and see what happens 🤔 | |
| How crucial is the quality of a digital cable? I believe you've analyzed your problem correctly. Quite sure a better coax cable should help but I don't think a $50 cable will do it. Audioquest makes decent coax cables but you may need something like the Carbon. If you order through someone ... | |
| Mesh network versus a simple Wi-Fi extender Sorry meant to say one component like a streamer. | |
| Mesh network versus a simple Wi-Fi extender @soix. I use a netgear extender for a pretty good hi rez headphone system. I have for comparison purposes connected my streamer directly to my modem. In doing so I hear no difference in SQ from the 100ft run in a 2 story house using the ex... | |
| Mesh network versus a simple Wi-Fi extender Been using a Netgear extender for years. Never had problems/dropouts. Excellant SQ. Extender runs from Modem at one end of the house, up one floor to the opposite side of the house to my streamer. Supra ethernet both sides. Over 100 ft. distance... | |
| Cable brands that work well with Cardas? @decooney Interesting factoid:-) I didn't recall interconnect rev1 was the crimped version. I think I remember the clear speaker wires making that change about that time, but wow that's been quite a while ago. How time flies. | |
| Cable brands that work well with Cardas? Have both orig. and rev 1. Unless you listen side by side you'll never hear the difference and even if you do probably still won't. | |
| A question about headphones Hate to already be recommending other headphones but if you like bass and early rock and roll pair up some Audeze lcd2 classic's with your Lyr2. I can tell you from personal experience you'll be very, very happy. Also go to headfi for a wealth o... | |
| I keep being reminded of how much power cords mater Use Clear Beyond on both my int. amp and phono preamp. For that matter use Cardas of one grade or another for speaker and interconnects, digital spdif, etc.so you might say I'm a Cardas guy. But no question each time I go to the next level with ... | |
| I Recapped my Conrad Johnson PFR. Wow! Some of the best $$$ I've spent Whoops, Bill is at Music Technologies? | |
| I Recapped my Conrad Johnson PFR. Wow! Some of the best $$$ I've spent @russellrcncom Conrad Johnson will update any of their older equipment. Also Bill Thalman at Music Direct who used to be one of their engineers is also an excellant source and would probably be a little cheaper. | |
| OPPO 105 VS Schiit Gungnir Just so happens I own the Ares II also. At first I liked it more than the Gumby. Then I changed things around a little bit and now I'm using it in a headphone system with a Schiit HP amp and liking the Gumby a little bit more. Bottom line' they... |
