| Like the new look to audiogon ? The new site design is absolutely awful. Designed by an IT shop without any customer input. If no improvements soon, the customer base should migrate to USA Audio Mart instead. It's free, too! | |
| New Look for Audiogon hard to work with The new site design is absolutely horrible. Keyhole images. Really? What the hell were they thinking? It's not like Audiogon members are professional photographers and you can tell much about the first image posted... other than it is a black... | |
| How to drive yourself insane baxsc01 - My advice is to set realistic goals, have a plan, and listen to audio gear that might work in your system. You can read reviews online or the Audiogon Forum but home demos are best way to find the sound you like. Dealers can supply th... | |
| GutWire Ultimate Grounding Cable Following this tread with great interest, so please share whether the initial brightness of the Ultimate version subsides over time. Thanks.I'm using a modest IFI Groundhog on an Aqvox switch that connects a modem, (2) routers, and server. I bou... | |
| PS Audio NEW Huron Firware upgrade. 😩😫😩 The "problem" with FPGA dacs is that designers can tweak the software for a totally different presentation that is better for some and worse for others. The PS audio dacs have been through a number of "upgrades" and not all were better. Personal... | |
| Music Streamer Quality Welcome. The combination is beyond decent...the Holo dac with Aurender streamer should sound fantastic. Great choice. I bought a used the Aurender N100H last year and liked it very much. The unit is well built, the control application was very... | |
| Music Streamer Quality falconquest - If I understand correctly, Soekris is merely winding down its US operation, and will continue to produce/sell from the EU and expand the product line. Even so, there is added financial risk when buying relatively unknown audio gear ... | |
| Music Streamer Quality I have not listened to the Aries Mini and cannot comment on the sound quality. My guess is that with a linear power supply (e.g. Sbooster) and a good dac, the sound would be very good. You can probably find some discussion here or elsewhere that... | |
| Music Streamer Quality You are welcome. The IFI SPDIF iPurifier re-clocks and regenerates the signal before being processed by your dac, so I would think the benefits from a W4S upgrade would be marginal and probably not be satisfying in the long term as a primary music... | |
| Music Streamer Quality Falconquest - There is no reason to upgrade your dac at this time... the Sonos is the weaker part of your system. If you want to keep the Sonos, an external re-clocker or Wyred4Sound modification will make a big difference, especially if used wit... | |
| Mytek Brooklyn+microRendu -or- PS Audio DS Junior? For what is worth, my suggestion would be to focus on both sound quality AND ease of use. I'm not the most IT savvy and found the streaming feature of the PS Audio DS Junior challenging and never got it to work. If you are more proficient, this... | |
| Harbeth P3ESR or Monitor 30? Tony - Glad to share a few thoughts. Both of your amplifiers are certainly high quality products, so the "issue" may be more about synergy than anything else. I glanced at a few reviews of the impressive Rowland Concentra, which seems to be hi... | |
| Harbeth P3ESR or Monitor 30? Tony - It has been my experience that the bass response of the Harbeth P3esr speakers, if new, will get better with time. I have also found that the bass can further improve with proper set-up and a well-matched amplifier. Depending on the set-u... | |
| Rega Apollo-R The Rega Apollo-R is an excellent music source. It sounds better than my other two sources: a Wired4Sound modified Sonos and an IMac with expensive USB cable and asyncronous dac. | |
| Quadraspire Sunoko Vent-T help Scott - Another thought, check out another very recent thread "My Audio Rack Is Bright..." Some of the recommendations might help, such as footers, symposium shelfs, etc. Good luck. |
