High Fidelity Cables MC 1-PRO
Quick update. 50 hours in, everything is more muted. Lost beautiful textures that I had before installation in vocals. Bass texture and impact definitely diminished. Soundstage narrowed and more muddy. I will stay patient, but as of now, a bit reg... 
High Fidelity Cables MC 1-PRO
Thanks 68pete. I will keep things running 24/7... 
High Fidelity Cables MC 1-PRO
Decided to take the plunge and purchased a pro helix+.  Added it to the main dedicated 20amp line outlet feeding my system last night.  Have to be honest, I did not notice a difference at all in the first few hours, but I understand there is quite... 
Innuos Statement Review
Thanks for posting the links and flagging your comment to CP @astewart8944.  And @david_ten for the additional server ideas.  Really helpful to read the above and the reviews.Roughly speaking, if I could ask your advice, which of these 'higher-end... 
Innuos Statement Review
Thanks @david_ten and @astewart8944 I appreciate the replies.  I've been tracking the Statement and Taiko Extreme threads over at WBF for awhile and know one user managed to get both servers in the same room.  Was hoping someone on Agon had the op... 
Innuos Statement Review
This thread is extremely helpful re: the Statement and its competition. Anyone have experience comparing the Innuos Statement to the upper end Melco servers?  Alternatively, anyone ever been able to compare the Statement to the Taiko Audio Extreme... 
JL Audio F112 v2 subwoofer - worth the price?
+1 on the F112 v2.  Incredible integration with the EQ, which is very straightforward to use and update whenever necessary.  Agree, it disappears and adds layers and texture to the bass.  Moved from a REL B3 (which is now relatively old) and had n... 
High Fidelity Cables MC 1-PRO
Just checking in for any further updates/observations from any MC-1 Pro or Pro Helix+ users.  Rx8man, audioman58 any improvements?Also, curious whether anyone has been able to A/B the MC-1 Pro vs the Pro Helix+.   I am relatively new to HFC produc... 
Y No YG ?
Totally respect above post. My experience has been different as I have less than 18 inches from wall to speaker and get a nice rich textured bass. My room is 25x15x9 and no trouble filling it out.  My dealer spent some time w setup but didn’t take... 
Y No YG ?
@zprr how do you like your haileys?Really enjoying their sound to say the least. Over the last 12 years I transitioned from the Dynaudio Confidence C1s to the Carmel2s now the H2.2s.   I had moved to a larger room and the H2.2s pressurize the ro... 
Y No YG ?
Interesting. Was curious about the track just mentioned. I’ve seen that posted before on agon. Just played it a few times at increasing volumes on yg Hailey 2.2s. Shook the house, and my dog didn’t like it, but barely closed the gap between the dr... 
I'm sure my new Moon 780D can reveal more than what my DH Labs AES/EBU delivers it.
Congrats on your new purchase Dr. John!Simaudio has paired up with Nordost (not exclusively) in a number of their systems at this year's Axpona and Munich shows.  I currently run Heimdall2 ethernet from a Melco server to the 780d v2 and use Tyr2 x... 
Home Demo Faceoff: Nordost / Audioquest / Transparent
Fun thread to read and thanks for sharing your detailed a/b comparisons. I agree with post above that Tyr2 can be the sweet spot in the line-up for some.  Per my communications with Nordost:  Tyr 2 is based on V1 but a little better. We changed ... 
Does this exist? Preamp/Streamer/DAC with MQA, Roon and more
While I have not heard the 390, I can vouch for the 780d originally with Mind1 and now upgraded to Mind2.  Incredibly reliable streaming and, to me, sounds great.  Given the 780D is a few years old now, I imagine the 390 may have reaped some of th... 
Speaker Thoughts - YG Acoustics Hailey 2.2 vs Magico S5 MK II
Hi, For what's its worth, I have the Hailey 2.2 on order and should receive in the next two weeks. I have not heard the Magico line, unfortunately, so I am of no help there.  That said, I am moving up from the Carmel 2s after three years (recently...
