Loving life with the phantoms

[Will]

Hi everybody ,first post  here. 
i, and  everyone here , love my new phantom silvers.

 i have only  had them a few days but they just seem to get better an better the more  i play them. 
  They sound soo frickin good they truly are amazing  speakers!!

they have the latest fw now and yes the volume  control linearity is good now, i

 My other system of the past 16 years, Von Schweikert VR4.5s floorstanders   the Ayre V3  poweramp  my  Eastern Electric minimax ess sabre dac and  tube pre are now all officially retired '  as are a load of wires too.
 

Phantoms are connected via wireles to the dialog and ethernet to the diaglog from my netgear router, 
 I use spark for Tidal only for now and Foobar for files from my laptop via optical  from usb adaptor

 one thing tho , I turned on an optical in on one of the phantoms  for the tv but i cant get and sound out yet. 

oh and sadly Quboz does not work in Australia yet.

But ,Well done Devaliet!! keep it coming !

You can get Qobuz in Australia - even though it is not supposed to happen.  Their system allows "legitimate" users (for example French residents) to access Qobuz while travelling in Australia, which means that they do not have a bar based on IP address.  The country based security they have is not hard to circumvent - I did it purely by accident without even realising that I was not supposed to be able to sign up from Australia.

At home, I have a relatively poor ADSL connection and have problems with dropouts with streaming - the secret is to download the albums into the Qobuz desktop player and play the albums from that.  Streaming is not a problem at a friend's place who has cable broadband.
