Aurender tried remote check my N10 and do not have any solutions. They are not helpful. They kept saying this is a unique problem but apparently it’s not? Maybe you can also write to Camille and mention the same issue. I still suspect it’s the hdd...

I have used Roon for quite a while now. It replaced my Logitech Music Server and a Sony app that is similar to the Aurender app. I have had absolutely no problems with Roon. It is solid. I believe that most folks experiencing Roon issues is because...

What is the model of the model of the Jeff Rowland, please ? Thanks Envoyé de mon Note 9P en utilisant Tapatalk

Wow. I wonder whether they are using ThermalTrak audio output devices? I auditioned one of their integrated amplifiers years back and thought highly it apart from the slider controls used settings such as volume. Look forward to reading your...

Excellent! Congratulations. Can't wait for your thoughts.

Enjoy. I feel his music is so update, and if your not feeling great, its gets ya moving. .

I’m curious, you sent the unit too Aurender. What did they find? My N10 which is about as old as yours started to do the same thing. Fred

Just an update that with only about 8 hours on them, the GR-Research X-LS Encores are starting to open up and sound very good indeed. The tweeter is very resolving, and the woofer capable of clean, defined and well-articulated bass down to what...

Coda originally were Ex Threshold Corp employees , those generation Threshold amplifiers are still competitive today .. Regard ..

how do you like your new rack btw?

utterly funny to read, lol.

Too bad dealers here won't demo any Shunyata stuff. I'd like to in-home demo for myself to help me choose the best option. I can't even demo in-store let alone at home. When I first contacted my local Shunyata dealer the salesman didn't know they...

Although at least a few posters seem to think that something like a Delta loom might be more in balance and proportion to the rest of the system than the Alpha loom. That would be my initial impression too, but I really don’t have the experience...

Unfortunately true for most companies that have distribute to Canada using a US distributor: even Luxman is slightly more in Canada than the US even as they are trying to keep them at par - the Luxman L509X is slightly more than the Accuphase E480...

I would keep them the same length. Someday you may rearrange the setup, or even sell the cables. Both will be more difficult with two unequal in length cables.

There were not many reviews over the years but I do remember one from 2005 and DarTZeel came into comparison against Coda... ;) Coda Technologies S5 power amplifier | Stereophile.com

Congrats on the new amp! You weren't kidding about the website. You would think that with the amount of research people do before stepping foot into a dealership (if there is even a dealership to step into), a manufacturer would want a way to...

You already have a PC and Roon. So Here is a fairly inexpensive path to try: 1. Install HQPlayer on your PC that you use for running Roon ( HQP has a free try-out period). 2. Connect your computer to the Luxman via USB. (You might need a driver...

At least here in MN, Bel Canto is used quite a bit with Magnepans as the high end dealer here, Audio Perfection sells Maggies and Bel Canto. I have prefer the sound of Pass with Maggies but I have not heard the latest and greatest from Bel Canto...

Great recommendation! Enjoyed listening to the entire album on first listen! Now working my way through "Sinner Street" .

Congrats! Looks real nice.

Cool! Congrats. Looking forward to your impressions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I have the 1160 here. The 1161 is a slightly smaller version. Excellent amp, just don’t hear the 2160, you’ll be ruined.

Like the modularity and upgradability of the CH. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cool thanks for the link and I’ll read over it with interest. While I’m not involved with any of the computer stuff much lately, back in the day, I used to repair computers down to component level. That was right before surface mount technology...

Very different. The Boulder 866 sounds like a class A amp. Rich, warm, musical. The Diablo 300 has a big bold sound, with thunderous monoblock bass and grip and a huge soundstage. I was talking to a customer this morning who was debating between...

if you are even the littlest bit technical and can use tools such as a screwdriver, then DIY is an option where you can pretty much design what makes exact sense for your system as well as pimp it with extras such as fiber ethernet, audiophile USB...

Like with anything, you can always cut corners and get the cost down, but in doing so, you will cut performance. The X260.8/XP22 outperform the INT250 by a fair margin. I think as good as the INT250 is, the separates just bring much more to the...

Entirely too often, DSP is seen as a sidestep/short-cut/band-aid for acquiring proper acoustic wave-launch into the room and receiving it properly at the listening seat, and it simply is not. I have had only had a few sessions with requested...

Coda Technologies are what's left of the OG Threshold Audio going back to the René Besne/Joe Sammut/Nelson Pass era. This is purely aesthetic but I like the gold plated PCBs they carried over from the threshold days, the internals of FET 10 preamp...

I would imagine it is still the same company that has been flying under the radar for at least a few decades? Much like Audible Illusions, Coda always offered a tremendous sonic bang for the audiophile buck. I’ve owned a Coda and AI many years ago...

Actually twice the number stated that since a pair of mono blocks and a preamp would be consolidated into a single integrated.

Mike, Since you have extensive experience with both, how would you compare the sound of the Boulder 866 to the Gryphon Diablo 300? Thanks

Mike, It has been hinted at but I will make it formal. Your thoughts on achieving almost the same performance level for a lot less money by using an integrated amplifier (Pass Labs or other). Reduces electronics cost and eliminates one power cord...

welcome to the forum shuang

Please tell us more. What stands out? Where are you coming from?

There is no particular reason to assume a $900 preamp will outperform another costing 10X as much. OTOH the former cans sound mighty good and represent crazy-good value vs. the latter. I've had my Freya + for couple of weeks and am selling my...

Your approach makes way more sense than Puma Cat’s approach that you’re better off buying less expensive gear and lashing them up with very expensive cables.

Folks Just an update on my speaker hunt. I decided to put money on the demo pair Kharma S7S in Pearl White from my regular dealer back home. I was thinking of moving up to DB7S or DB9S but since the S7S came in at a very good price point...

Devore Orangutans O/96 I have not yet "met" anyone who has tried this combo. If there's anyone in this forum, would love to hear your impressions.

Should your unit ever need physical work, they have a service center in Atlanta , and I believe another on the west coast. If I remember correctly.....

Seems to me that Mike has found a system which has synergy and sounds good. Sure - maybe some tweaks to improve. And yes, not cheap. But a great base to start with/upgrade to. Super cool to have someone (Mike) playing with toys we all love and...

I think if I was moving down in electronics and speakers, I think I would move down the line to Delta V2 too. There are a million possibilities with the funds, I was just thinking what products were at the same level for balance. I don’t think I...
