| $500 used power cord for Lumin power supply emergingsoul have you tried an exceptional cord on your x1? You have a 20lb outboard power supply and you are using a $2 power cord on a $17,000 player. I feel you are leaving extreme potential on the table. Everybody has a right to not believe. I... | |
| Bluesound Node130 LPS upgrade... Extender with better wire and upgrading component is a good idea. Sometime trying to put on a quick fix is a sideways move. If you move on the Lumin D1 with sbooster can be picked up cheap almost at the price you could sell your player and through... | |
| $500 used power cord for Lumin power supply I ended up buying another Clarity Cable but went with the Clear Focus other than the Vortex I already have, thanks for everyone’s help. I wish people that don’t believe in power cords could open their minds. They are really missing out. There’s a ... | |
| $500 used power cord for Lumin power supply I don’t understand how someone can’t hear high frequency flipping power cords around. Just the connectors can tip up the highs, look at the Wattgate 300i vs others. Shielding changes tone, noise floor brings out more detail. I don’t get it. I’m ju... | |
| Shipping advice for Esoteric No matter what shipper I use I put the address of final destination shipping terminal labeled hold for pick up, its allowed if you call and ask, I call the people at the terminal and set it up. I’ll do this certainly if I’m nervous for sensitive g... | |
| Looking for a more up-to-date streamer I owned a Pontus a while back very nice dac, I never updated mine, not sure if you can delete updates and go back to square one and see if presentation is more natural.The Aurender is very natural and easy to listen to, I enjoyed the Auralic, you ... | |
| reliable DDC I bought a used Iris12th from Denafrips repair center and it failed, maybe it was a faulty unit that was sent in for failure, repaired and failed again, sent it back. Bought a used one off USAM and it did fine, sold it still playing with no issues. | |
| Best Used Tube Based Preamp $2k Or Under? A lot of my favorite ones were 6sn7 preamps. I prefer four 6sn7 preamps, 2 per channel so I can blend 2 different brands sometimes if I need to use as tone control. Ken Rads and RCA’s work well together plus many others or load it with four of the... | |
| BEST SPEAKER THAT COMES TO LIFE AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS If you have dealer close enough to listen to some QLN towers, would definitely sit down check them out. Don’t let there size fool you, fantastic speakers. | |
| A list of efficient speakers at ~$5K a pair. OP thats a good move and Fritz speakers are very nice and he is I super nice guy, $5000 can buy a nice speaker in the used market there are a lot out there take your time and have fun don’t forget about Joseph Audio Pulsars if you have enough power. | |
| A list of efficient speakers at ~$5K a pair. I think the reference 3a Decappo would be a sideways move against your Fritz and you might prefer the Fritz, I own a pair. Try the Ref 3a Reflectors 92 db 8 ohm they are a total different speaker but same flavor as Decappo. It’s just a speaker tha... | |
| In need of a preamp with a prominent display I really liked the display and 100 step volume on the BAT also second the Audio Research. | |
| Preamp issue I was advised by Denafrips to touch the dac chassis with one hand before touching the buttons with the other hand. I’m guessing to ground the dac. I found that odd. I don’t know if the static charge can damage a preamp but they are connected with... | |
| Preamp issue Hi, did you touch the Pontus when the pop happened, I think there is something in the way the Pontus is wired that static hits it, mostly in the winter time. I had the same problem, there was a definite pop and it originated from the Pontus. I... | |
| Seeking a Warm 12AX7 Tube for Preamp Should have said a pair of used Mullards are under $100 where I buy most of my tubes. He also warranty’s them. I bought a quad of used Mullard el34’s xf2’s from him almost ten years ago and played the hell out of them still pull them out every onc... |
