| Can 75 Ohm digital RCA cables be used as regular interconnects? i wouldn’t recommend it, as standard interconnects are 50 ohms | |
| My JL Audio sub is dead. What exactly happened? Yeah my F113 died after 2 years or very very limited use, they required the amp be sent back in the original box and it was expensive. Glad to see they aren't charging as much but disappointed to see why they are failing. My Wilson sub with inte... | |
| Bluesound Node 2i & Ayre Codex - How would this work? The internal Bluesound dac doesn’t likecomplex things when I ran it direct into my tube amp. I was using a theta gen viii rev3 dac preamp $13.5k. It’s really excellent and has a jitter jail in it to clean up the Bluesound coax output. | |
| Bluesound Node 2i & Ayre Codex - How would this work? I own the bluesound vault 2 and borrowed Zen Mini. the Zen mini was definitely way more musical. Total lack of digital hash it's amazing and I will upgrade to one of the larger Zenith later this year. Spend the money it's totally worth it. The... | |

| Sloppy, muted bass response on Hegel h190 The Sonos Dacs are not very good, you won't get outstanding results out of it. Get a Bluesound or Auralic Aeries. Have you tried re-positioning your speakers? pull them away from the wall more | |
| Need advice for a beginner. Add the McIntosh tube preamp that has Dac built in, and connect the bluesound to it, and set up the HT passthrough on the McIntosh. Unless you had a high-end HT processor like a Theta Casablanca III HD/IV with Extreme 2 Dacs which has an outstandi... | |
| Need Advice & Need It Fast Harbeths need Current, not Power. Tube amps deliver solid current, and those KT88/6550 type tubes have way more bass control than EL34. Triode or Set adds warmth. My Rockports drop to 1.73ohm at 80hz, and my 22 watt Line Magnetic Class A SET tube ... | |
| Help - I've Got the Dreaded Transformer Growl.... If you do for a Filtering Power conditioner I found my Transparent Reference PIMM 2 eliminated the transformer hum in one of my amps that you could hear in the next room. My Shunyata V-ray didn't remove the Hum. Try a DC blocker first it sounds ... | |
