| Sennhieser 650's Interesting, my system is all Cardas but never bothered with the headphones. Mine are 650’s as well, I guess I will look at getting a set | |
| Am I deaf? No apologies necessary 2channel8. The beauty of this hobby/passion is there is no real Absolute. Each of use hear and listen differently. As with our taste buds some like rum, some like wine, some like both. In the end we have one person to please... | |
| BlueSound Node 2 - connect to pre-amp direct or to Oppo UDP-205 and then to pre-amp mr_m, I never got to try the Codex , although I was attracted to it, just never pursued it. I would love to try the newer Ayre DACs, but budget didn’t have it at the time I bought the Cutest. As mentioned it provided the sound I wanted and was muc... | |
| Am I deaf? Honshagen, as an Ayre C5xe owner and using Cardas throughout my system, I can tell you I love the Ayre sound and Cardas sound. I also have a BD105 and tried their DAC in comparison with my previous Rega DAC and the Cutest and preferred the outboar... | |
| BlueSound Node 2 - connect to pre-amp direct or to Oppo UDP-205 and then to pre-amp I bought the Node2 a few months ago to better the sound over the Sonos, which it did. at the time I was using a Rega DAC. However I did for about a week run Node2 directly to PreAmp and it was much better than the Sonos. And thru the Rega DAC it f... | |
| JC3+ With Kleos SL? Robob, thank you for responding. I haven’t had a chance to hear one yet but the press almost puts it in a “no brainer” category. There isn’t a dealer in my area that has one for me to try. I have been using an old Linn Linto which works well, but ... | |
| JC3+ With Kleos SL? Robob, if I read this correctly, you’re using a standard Kleos with JC3+ currently? I have a Kleos as well and want to get a new phono stage. If you do have the JC3+, what has been your overall assessment of it compatibility with the Kleos?Also cu... | |

As mentioned I am looking at changing the direction in my own system on this matter. One thing that you mentioned is the common ground i... | |
| AC mains noise Borrowed noise sniffer and tested my AC lines... Interesting indeed. I have been looking at different AC conditioners and power distribution strips, e.g. Shunyata, synergistic Research, Cardas, etc. My thought is to replace my 2) Running Springs units to save space. I have looked for a Noise Sni... | |
| fm antenna for rural areas Get a good old TV antenna. UHF,VHF and FM all work with the same type of antenna. Only drawback is they are somewhat directional. | |
| 2019 calendars Alert Manufacturers! Here is an idea that would be worth your while. I would love to have a calendar with gear on it, I imagine the best chance would be for a brand to offer one. I myself would love a McIntosh calendar and they have made enough ge... | |
| I want to dump my Oppo; but... I own both of these players and I can tell you the Ayre is much better at Redbook, SACD and DVD Audio than the Oppo. The Oppo is a great multi channel as well as BluRay video. I have and suggest you keep both. Each offers features the other doesn’... | |
| Have you had enough of Classic Rock? Bring it on! If only they would go back an remaster and re-release on 180gram more of the older albums instead of the same albums over and over. | |
| Vandersteen 7 mark ll or big Kef blades I have heard the Vandersteens at a dealer and the Blades at RMAF and can’t put them in the same category. To me the Vandys are hands down better in every aspect. But as mentioned you need to audition them yourself. | |
| Marty Robbins... Always loved his voice. I am not C&W by any measure, but find Marty’s music to be in a class of its own. His voice was silky smooth and perfect for the songs he recorded. Cool clear water, Big iron on his hip to name a few |
