| Linear Power Supply An update is that I am trying out the Sonore power supply and my first impression is that it definitely is an improvement. I can easily A/B the Sonore streamer set-up now (Ultra Rendu, Cardas and Shunyata cables) with a direct standard Ethernet ca... | |
| Toe in is crucial Great conversation. Thanks. I think a really good point is how toe-in in a given room and based on one’s one preference can significantly deviate from a manufacturers recommendation. If I recall SF Amati are recommended to be toed in direct at the... | |
| Cardas vs Cardas vs Shunyata interconnects @fthompson251 Definitely only mid-level WW. Eclipse I think | |
| Cardas vs Cardas vs Shunyata interconnects @decooney and @akg_ca ++1 Cardas is an upstanding company, full stop | |
| Linear Power Supply Definitely interested if others have opinions of the impact of LPS on SW | |
| Cardas vs Cardas vs Shunyata interconnects @classicrockfan please read up on Cardas. Made in the USA and they have a US based source for the copper. | |
| Cardas vs Cardas vs Shunyata interconnects @jmeyers yup definitely happy with the Cygnus. In fact I got speaker cables as well. I replaced Wire World cables, with the Cardas and finally my system settled to where I wanted it. Now, with the speaker cables, I have to say that they sounded c... | |
| Weiss 501 DAC @adriaan I only tried Shunyata Delta and Alpha NR 2 PC. Both significantly opened up the sound stage and increased separation. I ended up choosing the Delta because it left a bit more meat on the bones and is what I’ve been running for a year or s... | |
| Weiss 501 DAC @vinylvalet excellent. Good to hear. I have no complaints going directly into the 501, but one always wonders if the grass is greener. I have a fiber connection to a Sonor to Shunyata Ethernet cable to the Weiss for Roon. Head and shoulders above ... | |
| Weiss 501 DAC I’m wondering if anyone has compared the internal Weiss streamer to having an external streamer like a Grimm M1 | |
| Is a McIntosh MA12000 a good fit for a Sonus Farber Amati Tradition? I have Mc 601, c2300, and SF Amati traditions. So similar to what you are considering. The Amati are relatively new to me and it took quite a bit of work to get them placed properly. They are definitely more forward that the Olympicas I had. With ... | |
| 7.1 4 k Processor Rec @soix thanks. Definitely one I have been looking at. | |
| Burn in vs perception Okay, well, I am experiencing burn in / settling in a speaker cable. Cardas Cygnus long run, 6m. Replaced Wireworld Equinox. Mc to SF speakers. When I first installed the cable, I was so excited to hear my improved system. It sounded awful (clo... | |
| Warm vs Revealing—the struggle for balance @jji666 glad you mentioned toe in as this can be a great way to manage overly strident treble. This has definitely been a tool I have used to manage my system’s treble. I’d add managing a big window behind my listening position has been importa... | |
| Warm vs Revealing—the struggle for balance @ghdprentice thank you for the thoughtful response. I’ve just ordered The Complete Guide to High End Audio. Great suggestion. Take it slow is a good idea. I have the Amati Traditions— great speakers — and I think are good match with my Mc gear. I... |
