| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers @carlsbad2 I don't know what that is. | |
| A quick question on what streamers to consider....... @tommyr1963 I have the same streaming setup. iFi Zen Stream, iFi LAN Silencer and the iFi iPower Elite power supply. I think it works quite well. Do you find that Qobuz sounds better using Roon than, say, the mconnectHD app? | |
| New Streamer, DAC or Let it Be Well let's start with what you think you're currently lacking in terms of sound. What don't you like about the current setup? | |
| Need suggestions on a streaming solution! I'm using an iFi Zen Stream with an iFi iPower Elite power supply and I'm pleased with it. I don't have another streamer to compare it with though so I don't know if I'm missing out on anything. | |
| Old phones as streaming sources @mdalton Don't get so defensive, it's going to be ok. | |
| Old phones as streaming sources I tried an old phone and didn't like it. I don't care how it measures, it didn't sound good. | |
| DAC/Streamer/PreAmp @mdalton The USA is a constitutional republic, not a pure democracy and that's a good thing. As far as talking about servers and streamers... this is the dac-streamer-preamp forum so that's why. | |
| AGD Tempo in the house Mikey exposing the hidden agendas. It's pretty interesting. | |
| DAC/Streamer/PreAmp I’m really jonesing to hear a set of the Borresen X3 myself. | |
| Revisiting Chinese Knockoff Cables A little off topic but is anybody aware of a decent power conditioner from Aliexpress? | |
| Revisiting Chinese Knockoff Cables @hdm They’re absolutely shameless re-selling a $60 cable for $180 with purchase of an Equi Core (which I hear are quite nice). Wonder if there’s a knockoff Equi Core? | |
| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? @williewonka Steve, I just read through the entire THE HELIX IMAGE" Power Cable guide and will likely make a few power cables to try out. I too love a good DIY challenge (and saving money). Any meaningful updates since the article was written in... | |
| Router for Audio Streaming @wsrrsw Take a cruise man, they're great. | |
| SST Son Of Ampzilla II vs Parasound A21 or A23+ @brianlucey Great, glad it worked out for you. So the Magnus is made in the USA for the Chinese market? Interesting. | |
| SST Son Of Ampzilla II vs Parasound A21 or A23+ I was searching for a Son of Ampzilla II for a while but ended up getting a pair of Cherry Maraschino monos, the 60v power supply version, 800w into 2 ohms. Really works great with my Magnepan LRS+. Something to consider. |
