    Super-Tweeters: Acoustic Information or Phase Information?

    Sorry, I was unclear. Back when I just had a single pair I fired them up at the ceiling. Now that I have two pairs, I found that they sounded best when fired slightly downward. It was a surprise to me as I did not intend on having to change the position of the original pair just because I...

    Super-Tweeters: Acoustic Information or Phase Information?

    I actually got the idea after reading about the Audiosmile Supertweeter MK3s that fire in two directions. https://www.audiosmile.com/supertweeter-mkiii I tried firing the Townshend's in dozens of different directions over the period of about a month before settling on the configuration in the...

    Super-Tweeters: Acoustic Information or Phase Information?

    This is a photo of the front left corner of the listening room. As you can see, the supertweeters fire at the corners of the room.

    Super-Tweeters: Acoustic Information or Phase Information?

    I don't know, I just know that it sounds appealing to me. I don't take measurements or go by theory.

    Super-Tweeters: Acoustic Information or Phase Information?

    I've been experimenting with a pair of Townshend Maximum Supertweeters for about a year now and just recently added a second pair. After lots of experimentation, I've found that firing one pair back at the front wall and the second pair out into the room, is the best configuration. What may be...

    Allnic A6000 Quad Parallel SET 300bxls Monoblocks - A Quick Review!

    I only owned the amps for about 10 months so I can't say exactly.

    Allnic A6000 Quad Parallel SET 300bxls Monoblocks - A Quick Review!

    It's hard on tubes. Best to bias at the bottom line or just left of it. The sound is fine either way.

    To switch or not to switch? Melco S-100 or Innuos Phoenix NET switch?

    I'm using the Network Acoustics "ENO Ethernet Filter Ag" and "ENO Streaming Cable Ag". Both are wonderful products. At the advice of the manufacturer I added a D-Link DGS105 -- with my preferred linear power supply (between the router and the EVO). It's a fantastic upgrade. The addition was...

    What ethernet cables are members using?

    The EVO filter and cable are wonderful products. At the advice of the manufacturer I added a D-Link DGS105 -- with my preferred linear power supply (between the router and the EVO). It's a fantastic upgrade. The addition was similar to what I heard when I put in the EVO and the Network...

    What ethernet cables are members using?

    Yes, I've had it in for about 50 hours and things are still changing. What I can say for now is that I love what I'm hearing. At first, the word that came to mind was "articulation." I'd never heard some of these recording sound as 'clean' and undistorted as they were now being presented...

    What ethernet cables are members using?

    I like to make just one change at a time so instead of putting the ENO filter and the cable in, I just put in the cable. The cable is the best I've heard in my system. It is very natural and brings my digital closer to my analogue than ever before. On some vocal recordings I really get the...

    What ethernet cables are members using?

    Will do. The ENO filter and cable should arrive Wednesday and the manufacturer says that though both should sound good out of the box, they do recommend 100-150hrs burn in for the cable and filter to reach optimum performance. I don't have a definitive date on when the EtherREGEN will arrive.

    What ethernet cables are members using?

    I went for the Ag. They have a package deal where you can order the ENO Network Filter Ag and an ENO Streaming Cable Ag for less than the cost of buying the two items separately. I don't have any other network devices employed so the ENO will be the first. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I...

    What ethernet cables are members using?

    The TWL cable sounds very natural in that it doesn't hype anything. It's one of those cables where I say "ya, this sounds right" and I don't think anymore about looking for something different. With the Sablon in both my system and a friend's system we both found it to be slightly hyping the...

    Good mid-price audiophile switches

    Did you try the ENO filter on it's own (removing the ER)?

    What ethernet cables are members using?

    After 4 days of burn-in I can say that I really like this cable. It was impressive right from day one and it's even better now. It's very natural sounding and doesn't hype any part of the frequency range.

    To switch or not to switch? Melco S-100 or Innuos Phoenix NET switch?

    Thank you very much for the compliments. Yes, I had those two AN pieces quite recently. I look forward to hearing your report of the PhoenixNET and hope that it turns out to be a great addition to your system.

    To switch or not to switch? Melco S-100 or Innuos Phoenix NET switch?

    I'm interested to hear what you think of your ISO Modem -> eRegen -> PhoenixNET -> Zenith Mk3 set up. And also what you think of the eRegen alone vs. PhoenixNET alone.

    What ethernet cables are members using?

    The cable is shipping today and scheduled to be here tomorrow. Did you find that the cable changed a lot as it broke in? I'm just wondering how much stock I should put into what I hear on Day 1. I know that some of the other cables that I have changed a lot over the first 250 hours while one...

    I just order this cable for a 30-day trial. I'll compare it to the 4 other Ethernet cables that I have on hand once I run it in for a few days.

    To switch or not to switch? Melco S-100 or Innuos Phoenix NET switch?

    I've been following this thread because I'm relatively new to streaming and I'm in the market for one of these devices. I'm trying to decide between the ER, PhoenixNET, and PF S100.

    What ethernet cables are members using?

    I purchased the Sablon 2020 Ethernet cable and am about 160 hours into the burn-in process. It was a great purchase -- my Tidal HiFi sounds so much more organic, natural, effortless, and full now.

    Do you have a preference among the type 10, 10Y, and 801A tubes? I'm currently using the 10Y.

    SET amp owners thread

    Just a comment on "action"... I've always used the word "action" to describe the ability of a system to propel music from the image on the soundstage, through the soundfield, out to the listener, and beyond. With most crappy recordings of popular music this isn't even possible. When I do...

    It's as if the Allnic is always, in the most pleasant way, hinting at a deeper truth. With the SIT-3 you're going to hear that deeper truth and, just like in real life, that isn't always what you want. Imagine a beautiful actress that is perfectly lit in a scene; that's likely a perfect...

    SET amp owners thread

    I think the SIT-3 is broken in now so I played both amps today to do a comparison. I find the Allnic more beautiful sounding when recordings aren't great. Voices especially come out softer, sweeter, and rounder, and you can fall into the song more easily. The SIT-3 conveys more information...

    SET amp owners thread

    I think that's part of it for sure. Would you say though that it is possible to have a stereo that gives one the sense of being with a piano but not necessarily with the pianist?
