| Power Cord Suggestions REF 5se You could use the PC you had on your LS27 and just change out the plug to a Furutech FI-32R 20A if you like that cord.I like WyWires. If that’s not a brand you’ve researched it, might be worth a look. | |
| Schiit Gungnir vs Denafrips Ares 2 I’m curious as well. I know it’s all about personal taste but would like to hear opinions as I’m considering these two brands along with MHDT, but since they don’t go through a dealer network we start with other opinions before clicking the buy no... | |
| Which Preamp Would You Choose? I had a ModWright SWL 9.0 and put it up against a few higher priced and newer balanced ARC, Levinson, Parasound, and other preamps and the little ModWright was more enjoyable. The others were cold and didn’t have the PRaT of the SWL 9.0 regardless... | |
| Which Preamp Would You Choose? OK, if you’re looking for something that I think is great for the money in the price of the budget of SF Line 1, which I owned, look at a ModWright SWL 9.0 SE. it’s a great preamp. | |
| Which Preamp Would You Choose? The SF Line 1 with Sovtek or new production tubes is not what I would call SS or if so it’s very good SS, but again I would not go there. Is it as Tubey as early ARC or CJ pre’s, no but not sure a real colored preamp is desirable for most listener... | |
| Need something similar but better Not sure how you’re streaming Tidal but I would start with is it the HiFi package as that will help. I know and have owned the PBJ and have heard the Evergreen so I will say this will be a great improvement over either of those cables for less, mu... | |
| DAC upgrade, new or used, $1000 Can’t speak on the DACs noted above but I own an Oppo 205 and I wouldn’t consider an Oppo. I do own a Bluesound Vault 2 and I find its DAC is decent and believe for the money it’s a great product but its internal DAC can be easily outclassed. I al... | |
| Recommendations for a good power conditioner? Do I even need one? I have a PS Audio P5 and it’s a great device but going to set you back for 2.5 as much. For $800 buy a DAC as your 105 is a fine Blu-ray/Multi-Player but the weaker link in your system... not sure on your speakers. Dedicated lines with decent rece... | |
| Canare 4S11 Canare does nothing wrong. Very good cable for the money. I find it has a nice, maybe a little warmish presentation. Maybe doesn’t have the extended top end of better cables but it gets the job done nicely. I think once you get some hours on your ... | |
| extremely soft RCA cables https://www.amazon.com/Foot-RCA-Cable-Pair-Interconnect/dp/B0105Q6OWG/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=6ft+ca...Great cable for the money and very flexible. Probably on par with Mogami. I’ve not used the Mogami but I have the Canare. | |
| Upgrade to Oppo? What’s your budget? A lot of CDP’s out there that are better than any stock Oppo, including the 205 which I own. I prefer my Cambridge 851C over my UDP 205. For what used Oppo’s are going for these days, for the money you can do better.If your Reg... | |
| PROCEED PCD 3 Pretty old machine and was decent in its day. Remember comparing it against a CAL Tercet at local shop and everyone felt the CAL was more musical and more acceptable on appearance as well. I’d be surprised if for the same money a new Marantz would... | |
| Should I still buy a CD player? Suggest one? Several mentions of Oppo, Bluesound and Cambridge which I have all three. What I can say is my Cambridge 851C is better, more refined than my stock Oppo UDP 205 but the 205 is still a great player. Today I prefer using my Bluesound Vault II throug... | |
| Need a line stage preamp Not a lot I know of personally for $500 that are worthy of your amp, as it’s too bad you can’t stretch a little more as you have a nice amp. If I was looking for something in your budget I’d research the Schiit Saga+, if it is compatible with your... | |
| Need help with speaker wire connection to ARC Classic 60 I wouldn’t bend trim or modify your Classic 60 or you’ll just hurt it’s value. If you don’t have the skills, no disrespect, have Chris at VH Audio or someone else make you some jumpers so you can use other heavier cables. Cardas, Audio Quest and o... |
