Thanks guys. Yes I have room treatments and do active room correction via convolution. Given the physical constraints of my room, I believe I have maximized the performance of these speakers which...

Thank you for the replies everyone. Even though I got the upgrade bug I want to make sure the next speaker I get is truly an improvement over what I currently have, which I am very happy with. I am...

Thank you! So why the S1 over the Q1 standmount? I typically prefer standmounts for their imaging and size (though the S1 is pretty slim).

BTW, I just got back from Vantaa and Joensuu! ...

The upgrade bug has bitten me yet again so its time to succumb to its power and look for new speakers. I currently have the SF Guaneri Evolution standmount speakers. I have no actual complaints...

That is a good idea to get a dac with a volume control. Unfortunately, I just bought one and volume control isnt available for it anyway. I guess I could control the volume via my playback...

Wow what a great thread. I haven't posted in a while but this thread is really interesting. I am in the market for a new amp to drive my Sonus Faber Guaneri Evolutions. Like many I dismissed...

Thank you for the reply. My room is basically 9x10' but the wall directly behind me is only 3' tall. On the other side of that short wall is my much larger family room and kitchen.

My only...

yeah, maybe for Xmas my kids get a sub!

REL subs can be set up as mono. Alright I will save up my pennies to add another sub.

Thank you audio.bill. I will be adding the same model REL sub. So should I place the second sub in a different location than the first? By different I mean, different than the mirrored opposite of...

I recently added a REL T/5i sub to my system and have been very happy with the results. Integration was a breeze with my Sonus Faber Guarneri Evolution monitors and I am now more engaged in my music...

I just checked all my components and the mounting holes on all of them are narrower (less than 50mm center to center) than the FI-09. So at the very minimum I will have to drill into my components. ...

Thank you. I was considering the FI-09 outlets. I am concerned mainly with the size and if I need to modify the openings of my components to make an aftermarket IEC fit. I think I will buy one and...

Agreed about tweaking as well. I am going to change out the IEC of both my CDP, int amp, and ac power regenerator. What I need to figure out is if an aftermarket IEC will fit in these components.

Excellent! I would really like to hear more about this mod in more detail. What did it take to get the WBT terminals to fit on the mounting plate? Not sure where you are located but perhaps...

Thank you for the reply! How are the specs of your music PC? I only have an i3 processor so not sure if it has enough horsepower for on the fly conversion.

Do you Jriver for conversion and...

Curious if you tried converting your DSD to PCM first offline to hear if it sounds better than on the fly conversion?



I plan to try this tonight to see if it makes a difference.

Petaluma...what a beautiful area. I am there quite a bit for work! I really enjoyed reading about your history in this whacky hobby! Welcome!

TIMA, sent you a PM.

I agree but I am able to easily stream 1080p Blue Ray movies throughout my home with an old Wireless N router on the 5ghz freq. High res music is no problem as long as the wifi signal is decent...

I have this same PC case. One issue for me with adding a wifi card was that I wouldnt have room to install an aftermarket USB card like JCAT or SoTM. In the past I used a USB wifi adapter but found...

Rockitman's advice is definitely right on. Definitely dont over do it with room treatments. I only treat the room corners and first reflection points. I am experimenting to see if diffusion or...

I have Mondo traps and think they are fine. Ethan may be self taught but there is no denying the absorption data. ASC is pretty pricey for sure and I am not sure they are any better.

Cincy2,...

My dealer highly recommends Nordost with the Evolutions. I bet it's a great match for the Evolutions' seductive sound. I use Tara Labs for my cabling. I think it has great transparency yet an...

Ahhhhhh darTZeel. That has been on my must audition list for a long time! Thank you for reminding me. Let me look into that.
