I have also been apart of an Audioquest cable demo at my local hifi store and I really did like the William Tell speaker cables. I can easily hear changes in cables on my Paradigm 7F’s & all my cables are upgraded to approx the William Tell level but of another brand.

It depends If you have a higher end high fidelity speaker system or a higher end Trinnov or StormAudio home theater system than I would highly recommend that you get Audioquest cables if you want less noise and less humming and hissing. I’m already in the process of changing my home theater cables out because I have to piece out the purchase orders and I can’t afford all of them at once. I get a little bit at a time

We need an update on youe PS5 Pro video

Really enjoy topics like this and learning about gaming sound features and audio tech!

Nice bit of info. Im sure people will be glad to hear this =) ( pun intended )

I bet Sade sounds great through these

vs the Magical, there isn't anything magic . U are right about this speaker , too much cost for little to improve or better than many conventional speaker cabinets material. It's more important, I think the alignment, speaker/driver quality of manufacturing. Even material beryllium driver can have different quality. It's always an advantage for Focal which makes their own driver put the top spec to their speakers vs manufacture make put all the outside sources speaker & match them afterwards

I guess I'm feeling chatty today: ~10 min in you talked about Naughty Dogs and lack of new IPs and just doing remasters. I was wondering if you have any insights into the personnel changes at studios, specifically ND in this case, that might have caused the "creative" stagnation? The studios may still exist with the same names, but if the creative driving force behind those studios have left or pushed out, and their replacements just aren't the same caliber as the founders, it's going to be tough to replicate the "golden age" of that studio. My text book case would be Blizzard. The original Diablo was done by Blizzard North, and they left Blizzard long long time ago (maybe even before the Activision merger?) I think (don't quote me) they've became Grinding Gears which released Path of Exile.

I'm only 1 min into the video, but had a suggestion for more gaming content. I'd be interested in something like "What I'm Playing Lately", maybe as a monthly update (but I won't hold you to that schedule, since it's a lot of work to put out a video and I'm sure you have a life, family, and work 😆) Not a review of the games since there are gaming review sites for that, but I'm just curious what you're playing currently. Why you're playing it with your limited gaming time, out of all the other available games, and what's good or bad about it. Anyway, I guess this is just a way for me to say I missed our gaming conversations and I missed hearing your take on games/series/franchises.

AMAZING REVIEW - I'm excited to get my 7F in my log place! Don't have an ear like yours, but grew up with a dad who love audio and we had Mac and Ar9s back in the day!

Yes

Don't cripple your sound quality with compressed Spotify...instead use a quality lossless source like Apple Music.

YO KOOL. Nice video as usual. Which mounts are you using for the svs’s atmos?

Great vid. Congrats on all your upgrades. I struggled deciding the direction to go for my digital video front end. Seriously considered Kaleidescape but went with Plex and I love it. Built a 40TB Synology NAS, ripped all my movies (MKV) to the server and it works phenomenal at a 1/3rd the cost of Kaleidescape.

Oled on top the only color you can actually see the duference is black so yeah

Awesome home theater and great vid. Just wondering what kind of cabinet you have. Looks awesome. Thanks.

Awesome video...always love hearing others feedback on home theaters.

Im an audio nut and after countless money spent my conclusion is that the majority of what your hearing is the interaction between your drivers and the room. You dont need to spend insane money to get rediculous sound quality. You just need to spend alot of time tweaking and designing your system to fit your room

Well done

Top is better u can see y when the words pop up✅

Top is top green. Bottom is too red. Get either, then fix the color in the settings. Can't go wrong.

taking the top one

Maaaaaaaaaan your System rocks!!!

Have you heard the 9h?

You got dirty electricity 😮 ! You got to run a separate electrical line to connect your equipment sir …

Great observation. Best to you, my guy. Electronics can become obsolete at the blink of an 👁

Are u balanced?

Congrats 🍾🎈. Looking forward to seeing your review & results on the Hifi Rose.

How’s it going? After getting back into car audio, I wanna start a home audio system. Not necessarily home theater, really just music. What should I look for in a receiver/amplifier? Probably need less than 500W, maybe half.

At some point, hobbyists in this space will realize endgame is actually a properly designed room. We have all have some compromises, but many make the mistake chasing endgame gear when fixing the room is the ultimate goal, as it's weak link. And no gear will mitigate that.

Like your presentation. If you haven’t linked up to JayLabs or Hatoraid Cowboy for a closer insight towards your pathway, please give them a try. They may save you precious time and money.

Yes, you certainly have some wonderful equipment but what's more impressive is how you're going about getting the best use of them. Bravo Sad to see these so-called audiophiles enthusiasts skipping up on quality cabling. In my experience, when building a multi-channel setup false economy cabling will become even more apparent. Maybe not at first but once the novelty wears off that's when ones attention is likely drawn to the sound of the room! When making the jump from 2 channel to multi-channel, I almost immediately became aware how the room sounded slightly different! Didn't know what it was at first. However, coming from an audio black background there was no way I was prepared to put up with it. Even after auditioning 3 separate AVR's, the same ambient sound of the room was still present! That told me the extremely faint background signal noise I had been experiencing (poor description!) had nothing to do with the actual units. Therefore, my attention changed to the cables. And even then It was only on the third occasion after I finally purchased shielded cables that the noise floor within my small room finally came down to satisfactory levels. Unshielded cables often act as antennas for attracting RF, and the longer the cable, the better the antenna. Probably explains why when I used to disconnect my heights and surrounds within 10 minutes, the faint background signal noise (RF/EMI) within my small room used to disappear/dissipate. Trying to achieve a totally silent room sadly has turned into a bit of an obsession for me. Doesn't help when ones 2-channel stereo also entails an extra 7 channels that are externally amplified (5.2.4) The more cables I shield, the quieter my room becomes, and the better the shielding, the more the chance the cables are likely to disappear. If one has the same sensitivities and is looking to address this matter, but is also hoping to notice (hear) the incremental differences, I would suggest addressing the analogue cables of length first before moving on to digital and power cables. When friends or guests come over, I used to show them how loud the system goes. Now I prefer to press mute and show them how my quiet it goes. None of them gets it, of course 😂

Do you have fans on top of your amps and pre-amps? If not, I suggest keeping the TV console doors open.

Don’t go the power cable upgrade route. It has bee proven these differences are not audible. TH-camr Audioholics has done reviews.

Hiss can also come from having input sensitivity set too high in your processor. There should be a setting to turn it to a negative setting to deal with hiss. Also if you are running separates, the amplifier also plays a part. 3 rd, speaker sensitivity (high) will make hiss more audible compared to other brands/models and you can’t change that without getting a quitter amplifier.

YO KOOL!! Nice upgrade. I heard the Hifi Rose last year at the DC Audio fest in Rockville MD. That streamer is a beast! Enjoy.

You know, in this hobby of ours , there's nothing like endgame, trust me , upgradetitis sets in quickly and there is no cure. So plz stop saying endgame and accept your faith.😂

You are definitely going in the right direction to get the most out of these speakers 👌 The Rose RS130 is a great choice & power is indeed very important at this level. The Puritan PM156 would be another great option to the Audioquest Niagra. Always connect your best power cable between the wall outlet & your power filter of choice IMO. Happy listening 🎶

Congratulations on the new gear. I also upgraded my power conditioner from a Panamax M5400 to Furman IT- REF I5I and I fell it made a difference. I currently use an IFI Stream as my streamer but I'm also looking to upgrade.

Congrats on your Persona 7H's! I have a pair of Paradigm Tribute 30th Anniversary speakers that I bought 7 years ago for $4,800 and they sounded as good as several brands of $10,000 to $15,000 speakers I also auditioned. I still love my Tribute speakers! I recently listened to the new Magico S3 speakers and wow those are awesome sounding, it sounds so realistic and the soundstage is huge. Would love to have the new Magico's but they cost 10 times what I paid for my Paradigm speakers. The S3 is really night and day compared to my Paradigm speakers but I still enjoy what I have.

You should hear the B&W 801 D4 Signature, it's impressive, but they should be for $55k.

Really nice! Huge upgrade to the Paradigms.

Beautiful!

Keep it up king, cool upgrade!

The lab? I like it!

Great video! Loving the progress!

Nice upgrade. Whars your pkans for the prime elevations? Also, I recommend the 85 inch Sony XR90 Bravia 9 for the TV upgrade. It's the perfect ally for your system.

We will be upgrading our 77inch C2 to a 83inch G4 this Black Friday.

Would have loved the seen how the speakers are able to be mountable. For example, you said the speakers are able to be aimed, but as well as left to right. Does that also include downwards and upwards.

Do you ever get a crinkled neck? I am always amazed at how people place TV's way above the eye level, as if they are *Atmos TV's* meaning you have to look upwards to watch🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓 I have my 65" TV just 18 inches off the floor, and still feel it is way to high 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
