| Why are my SF Venere S Speakers not sounding as warm? If you are buying Sonus Faber level gear from this dealer, they should be willing to go to your house and evaluate your listening space and try to find out why it's sounding bad. | |
| Why are my SF Venere S Speakers not sounding as warm? These dealers know how to set up speakers to sound their best. Also, what electronics were they using? Were they running them off of an AVR? They may have been using power conditioning and high end amplification. Also, how big was the room the ... | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) Definitely check out Legacy Audio, who offer three models in that range of prices:Signature SE ~$7,500Focus SE ~$10,500Focus XD ~$12,500(has built in amp for bass section or whole unit)All of these offer Air Motion tweeters and deep, prodigious ba... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Thanks, Robert, but I asked about an affordable option. Looks like the only possibility for me would be Reveal XLR. But how does its sound quality compare to original CT-1? | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I've had a set of the original CT-1 interconnects(RCA connectors) for several years now. Having just procured my first separate pre-amp, I now have another connection to complete. I will use the XLR connections to the power amp. What is the mos... | |
| PS Audio Stellar Gain DAC/Pre-amp as first foray into separate pre-amp? @ auxinputThanks. It is a brand new unit. My signal is going through an additional set of interconnects, as I indicated. The interconnect cables between the Denon and the Stellar Gain is High Fidelity CT-1. But I've already been using them fo... | |
| XLR interconnect for new DAC/pre-amp to power amp--suggestions please for $500 or less @ stringreen, et. al., So, I got my Stellar Gain DAC/pre-amp set up, with the Silnote Morpheus Reference Classic XLR interconnects going to my Krell power amp. I'm playing CDs on my Oppo UDP-203 universal disc player, using the coaxial output int... | |
| PS Audio Stellar Gain DAC/Pre-amp as first foray into separate pre-amp? I just got my new PS Audio Stellar gain set up and installed the Silnote Morpheus Reference Classic XLR cables. So far, I've only listened to it in Home Theater bypass mode, but I will say, in that scenario, I feel like I've lost a bit of c... | |
| Krell Owners: Is XLR really superior to RCA? @ threeeasyThe reason I used a RCA to XLR adapter is that my Krell power amp has ONLY XLR inputs. So I had to use an adapter. | |
| Krell Owners: Is XLR really superior to RCA? I hope this is all correct, as I just picked up a PS Audio Stellar Gain Cell DAC/pre-amp, which will, for the first time, allow me to experience an XLR connection to my Krell FPB 400cx power amp. Up till now, I have had to use RCA to XLR adapters. | |
| Which Budget HT Bypass Option? I had been looking at the Parasound P5 a while back, but recently became aware of the PS Audio Stellar Gain DAC/pre-amp, which includes home theater bypass. So, I ordered one and am about to hook it up, once I receive my xlr interconnects. The D... | |
| Looking for a digital cable 75 ohm @ highstreamWhoa, wait! You mean there's a way to use I2S with my Oppo 203? I just bought a PS Audio Stellar Gain DAC/pre-amp, and was thinking I'd have to pick up a PS Audio Direct Stream Memory Player to be able to play my CDs and SACDs over t... | |
| Preview: CODA Technologies new generation number#8 Stereo Amplifier At RMAF, Legacy Audio was using Coda to power one of their demo setups, can't remember which one. I think they told me that it was a new amp model. | |
| XLR interconnect for new DAC/pre-amp to power amp--suggestions please for $500 or less @tobesThanks for the tip on the Mogami, will keep that in mind. I may actually try some and if it's better, sell off the Silnote cables. | |
| PS Audio Stellar Gain DAC/Pre-amp as first foray into separate pre-amp? Yeah, I figured that might be the case, but at least they do show up at audio shows and put their cables on the line for people to hear. I'll give them a try, at least. |
