| Sub-$1250 DAC w/ built-in Headphone Amp MQA is the last thing I’d worry about. My RME without MQA walks all over the DAC in my Bluesound Vault 2 comparing against MQA files and not and that was before upgrading the power supply. | |
| One Cord To Rule Them All You already have the Pangea AC-9, so why not compare it to the stock cord that came with your P10 to hear if those who say cords don’t make a difference are correct. Do the test for yourself and maybe save your money. Totally agree that if you don... | |
| Your advice needed, speakers to buy $8K to $13K If you had a bigger amp I would suggest Aerial Acoustic 7T. I have not heard them but own the 7B and greatly enjoy them - fine speakers. 7T will likely be my next speaker.Something a little more efficient with an attractive cabinet, look at the M... | |
| One Cord To Rule Them All As mentioned above a used a Kimber PK10 Gold is a very good cable. Used to use them on my amp going directly to the wall and my PSA P5. Later went to WyWires Silver Juice II HC (High Current) on my P5 and it was an improvement with lower noise flo... | |
| Condition of speakers for sale Noticed even on The Music Room (TMR) site, they seem to be a little liberal on their ratings once in awhile too. At least they do add great photos which are worth more than a rating number. | |
| Power Cable recc for NAD M10 Build your own. Get some Furutech plugs and cable. FP-S032N $35 ft.FI-11M cu. $55FI-11M cu IEC $54Minimum I’d go on the M10 is a 12 gauge cable and with the DAC keep it a shielded cable.VH AUDIO is a great source to buy.If a three ft. cable works,... | |
| Hoping for a recommendation for stereo amp around $1500 or less ($2k max) I wouldn’t worry about buying used, especially if you’re buying from a respectful manufacture. You can buy new and in a short time the amp you just purchased is worth 50% or less. Nothing wrong with buying new but you’ll get a lot more amp and pro... | |
| A DAC that ought to be better known: RME rtotchiaI run my RME balanced out and others with a balanced preamp or amp should do the same, if their other components are truly a balanced design. You should notice a lower noise floor. When you compare the two cables, try doing it at a fairly ... | |
| Clear Day silver jumpers or equivalent Yes I spoke to Paul on several occasions and we shared many emails. Paul was a great guy and the very first phone call we had, he insisted on sending my a set of Double Shotguns with no deposit or credit card, but only asked if I didn’t like them ... | |
| How good is this Welborne preamp? What is comparable? Not really sure how much Ron Welborne was really involved in the circuit and kit designs of their products. I think Alan Kimmel was really the talent of Welborne Labs and Ron was just the business man running the show. Bought a lot of parts from t... | |

| Between a Node 2i and DAC: Does Coax cable quality really matter? Yes they make a difference. I’m using a Nordost Silver Shadow which works very well. Most of my system is WyWires so I’m curious how Alex’s Platinum cable compares. Keep looking for a used one to pop up but they don’t. | |
| buget used amp ? Nakamichi PA7. The Nak’s are nice old amps and it will drive your Thiel’s no problem. Your Adcom is going to set your bar, meaning the Nak is capable of more revealing preamps. Not sure you’ll find one for $500 but probably closer to budget than f... | |
| A DAC that ought to be better known: RME When I ordered my Teddy Pardo it took 2-3 weeks at best to make it to my doorsteps. When I first emailed them inquiring on their product I had a response the next morning, which being across the globe and different time zones I felt response was q... | |
| Clear Day silver jumpers or equivalent I used to own a set of double shotguns with jumpers. Wonderful cables. I’m going to bet you’ll never come across a set of just the jumpers as Paul really didn’t advertise he made them and probably most stayed with the factory speaker straps. You c... |
