| Need advice for upgrading my analog setup Concur and amplify the focus on the phono preamp then preamp first. My personal philosophy is that average turntables with good isolation is all that’s needed (It’s simply a level rotating plane - that’s all) - focus on the cartridge. Think Rega R... | |

| This is good Schiit... You’re right that for under $1k BS 2i is hard to beat. I run a perfectwave directstream which gently used is $3k and light years better. | |
| This is good Schiit... BTW I would say bypass the Schiit DACs bc they only do 16 bit so fall apart on pure DSD material. Once you upgrade your streamer you’ll want that option. | |
| This is good Schiit... I have a Freya+ into Para A23s monoblock driving SF Soneto 8s so I’m interested in more details you heard using the Aegirs. What were the differences in sound? I have a BS Node 2i collecting dust bc I upgraded massively but do think It’sa gre... | |
| Full range speaker recommendation The Focal Aria posters are a waste - what a joke. Higher end Focal - sure. I can't recommend the Sonus Faber Sonetto VIII enough - with the subs you will fill in the very lowest the towers don't but they have EXCELLENT bass extension and supe... | |
| Phono stage price range 1500 to 2000 dollars. Gold Note PH10 - amazing device with on the fly changes to equalization and cartridge settings for two different phono setups. I can't emphasize how great the equalization changes are - Decca, Columbia, and RIAA all sound quite different as laid d... | |

Instead, use tubes in your main pre-amp and roll those as you like. This will keep system noice quiter and pr... | |
| Focal Kanta NO.3 Speakers Spending More Doesn't Matter ! @ronboco if you have to add 4 subs you should have just bought Sonus Fabers | |

| Truly Balanced Cheaper Preamplifiers? What does balanced get you? Higher signal to noise ratio Lower nose floor, the ability to run long interconnects, others Therefore, expensive cables aren’ts as important also. | |
| Truly Balanced Cheaper Preamplifiers? I love the Schiit Freya+Blue Jeans XLR you up and running for under $1200The volume system is one of the very best anywhere. Tubes can be instantly bypassed from the remote. Unbalanced inputs can be balanced. Changing tubes is easy. Two sets of RC... | |
| Better Integrated Amp? Schiit Ragnorak fully loaded awesome | |
| Shunyata interconnect cables experience I'm a believer in cable quality for interconnects and somewhat with power but within the digital realm you're mostly chasing ghosts in USB cables given error correction built into the standards and the strength of signal that allows for very, very... |
