Hello!

Here is insight to the serious case of audiophilia, or atleast into what I call that way.
The original post is almost 2 years old, and was about to mark a place to stop spending on new...

I believe I will try the "d" option out then.
I will take proper time for that, to get the sense of what is the difference.

This fiddling with them plugs is bit stressful, I should say. I always...

Very interesting.
I suppose I should also try with just one amp.

But I would like to test the difference when connecting 2 amps with 4 plugs VS with 2 plugs on amplifier end.

a) So we have...

Thank you Barry.
I suspect the same, so I spent time today changing these cables, to give them four plugs at each end.

To my surprise, when peeling the insulation there was a lot of oxidation...

I am very happy to be in this forum, since I always get good feedback here.

My inquiry today might not be most sophisticated one, but nonetheless.

My XTZ-Edge amplifiers have a mono mode, so I...

Hello.

I am unable to track that cord, since it is considered as a "throw-away-cord". But the info I received makes much sense, I also see longer ground pins on other gear, and I do remember that...

Hello!

I can not connect my power cord correctly to my Topping pre90 preamp, it does not fully enter.

I found that the ground pin is longer on the preamp power socket, than Line and Neutral...

I don't listen at extreme levels, but my listening room is quite big, about 62m2, so sometimes yes, I will
add more volume.
I like to feel that the amp is capable enough, and it is not playing at...

Ever so often we need to change something in our audio system. I personally don’t enjoy shuffling with cables and sockets, shifting stuff around. But I did it.

Since I had a pair of extra...

I have one and I am very happy with it.
I am listening it right now.
It is only my second pre, so I couldn't say much,
other than that it outplays Pro-ject Pre Box S2 Analogue, which I bought for...

Hello!

So I am comparing speakers and amps and had the working theory
about a particular system lacking mid-range-volume and therefore
being unable to represent certain music with much...

I read carefully all of your inputs.
And I did some more listening.

One thing is clear and has been so for long, the combination "my livingroom - b&w603 - XTZ - ToppingPre90"
produce somewhat...

I agree with the ideas. It was not of coincidence that I used the expression "thousand mosquitos singing",
so the high frequencies might very well need some trimming to get more pleasant sound.
...

I like the thorough feedback, Martin and Chris.

Of course, the Onkyo is A-9130, the 6130 indeed is a network player.

Fortunately(?) I can tell you that both of them alternative placements I...

To be clear - I have so far used 2x XTZ (class D) in the main room, and Onkyo (AB) in the bedroom.

(By the way, Onkyo sounds very good in the bedroom with Elac Debut bookshelf speakers.
Bedroom...

The room is far from perfect. I have no treatment apart from a carpet infront of system.
But I feel like I got more body out of that Onkyo.
Some calibration tool would definitely be interesting to...

I have had B&W 603 floorstanders with 2 XTZ Edge A2-300 (class D) power amplifiers
(and Topping Pre90) for about a year now (in a big space, 60m2).

But from the very start I noticed, that this...

I was about to ask the same question.
Has anyone tried the new Audioquest Powerquest 2?
I am thinking of buying this.

Hello!

I am enjoying my system using this preamp by Pro-Ject, Pre box s2
https://pro-jectusa.com/product/pre-box-s2-analog/
It is a very simple box, only weighs 400 g.

I have bought a...

Thanks. I will definately try some changes I believe at the coming weekend. I will rotate the speakers in front of window (left) first, that way I defeat the opposing wall (currently) and also have...

I truly had a problem. Listening my system around 70 db-s my hearing was compromised after about 30 minutes. So that it became pointless to evaluate anything. Then I needed rest. (I have also been...

Yes it was.

Just today I had the pleasure of laying down this thick rug. It should help.
Also on another picture, I have made this wooden panel, I would set it up
behind me. It took me many days, but the WAF...

That is true. Since I had few "easy-going" speakers already, I knowingly went for this "forwardness".
They are not to watch TV that much, I do that in another room.
To get more of that benevolent...
