| Does it matter the wire gauge used in interconnects? Hi Steve, Good stuff. I’m now trying to eliminate as much of the cabling as possible. Trust me as an engineer, less is more. I’m sure you understand the KISS. I have transitioned to a streaming front end, no more tubes/vinyl...sorry. I still lo... | |
| What do $2500 speaker cables sound like? I tell my kids to experiment and evaluate. You should do the same. Grain of salt with some of the AG folks that tell you otherwise. Do your own due diligence. For me after many years, good conductors, good connectors (or no connectors), sec... | |
| Does it matter the wire gauge used in interconnects? Interesting thread that has me contemplating my next builds. I have primarily used Canare 4E6S for most of my recent RCA/XLRs. I do feel having double conductors does provide a performance boost. May have to look at larger AWG as it seems to h... | |
| Rose RS250 Streamer/Dac? Hi Daniel, Sorry. I no longer use Tidal. Tried it for awhile and prefer Qobuz. Still trying to get acclimated with all of the features. This could be a fantastic front end. | |
| Hifi Rose RA180 Yep. Just bought their RS250 from MusicDirect. Hoping this integrated gets added to their portfolio. | |
| Rose RS250 Streamer/Dac? I just received my 250. Looking forward to seeing how it performs. On paper this looks like a wonderful streamer/DAC. I'm replacing an Evo 150 (had problems with two units and the screen randomly locking up). Over the last couple of years ha... | |
| HOW CRITICAL ARE JUMPER CABLES Here are my thoughts on bi-wiring. I guess if you are going to do it, use the same type of cabling that you have from the amp/amps. From there, you now have to deal with what type of connectors (or lack of) and be ready for all the opinions that ... | |
| You own a store, you sell 2 brands, which? Too bad the OP didn’t specify a timeframe.Storefront 25 years ago would probably be McIntosh and B&W.Good luck to anyone trying to run a store today. | |
| Wharfedale Elysian 4 - Thoughts? I have the 2's. They are the best speakers I have heard with my current Purifi streaming setup.The walnut finish is amazing. I sit and listen for hours..... | |
| Wharfedale Elysian 2 I love these speakers. They are now my reference! Can't imagine how well the 4s sound, but I can use a swarm sub orientation and very happy.My active project with the Camerton full range and Purifi woofers are still waiting completion (if anyon... | |
| B&W 800 D4's, Room size, & general Q's You are going to get a 1000 different responses saying one speaker is better with this amp vs that amp. Welcome to AG. Wait til you get the dealers pushing their high margin brands...Do your due diligence and ignore 90% of the these posters.I r... | |
| After 50 years, I have finally found my destination amps... AGD Audions! Looks like a couple of you guys love the AGDs. I’m curious myself after building/using class D for several years. Hypex UcD, Ncore, newer Purifi’s. What kind of speakers are you using and how do you source your content.I use Roon on front end with... | |
| Technics SU-R1000 a new Class-D GaN Technology integrated Could only watch few minutes of that review....Actually, the M33 uses Bruno's Purifi modules. Which many feel (including myself) sound much better than the older Ncores. Been eying the M33 since they announced it last year. Hoping there soon ... | |
| Changing Magneplanar LRS jumpers for Neotech 12 AWG Watched his video relative to the LRSs. Embarrassing that he is asking $230 for his XOs. Definitely not a fan of what he is promoting.I'll do my own design/solution. | |
| Changing Magneplanar LRS jumpers for Neotech 12 AWG Did some more searching...couldn't find a x-over schematic for the LRS.Anything out there? Don't want to tear apart the grill cloth if I don't have to. |
