| What is a McIntosh C52 worth? I would say about $4500.00 | |
| Streamers and their Fuses Brandon I am neither a fuse believer or a denier, I have upgraded my fuses to some hi-fi tuning for the hell of it. I would never spend $200 on any fuse, same goes for power cables. There has to be a limit to our madness, especially looking at ... | |
| Solid core OFC vs stranded OCC copper You should go all solid core, you would get better improvement than optimizing your network. | |
| Solid core OFC vs stranded OCC copper Solid core speaker cables definitely sound better than stranded. Tara Labs and Audioquest both make excellent solid core cables. Audioquest Rocket 88 is one of my favorites. | |
| Using streaming as a main source ---DSD, FLAC, MQA Streamers and DACS Here's my solution, at least until all these streamers and dacs with thier constant updates get to the final update. A preamp with a nice built-in dac that's upgradable, like a mcintosh, and a lowly ifi zen bluetooth hires receiver running Sony... | |
| For SACD fans only I went from a OPPO 105 years ago, to one of the very last 205 produced, sold it for more than double the price, bought a Marantz 30n, loved it for awhile, but the disc part wasn't getting much use as I started to stream more. So I sold it and bo... | |
| REL speakon connection to amp vs speakers I have tried it both ways, connected to the the amp outputs and the RCA out from my preamp going to my S812. I do prefer the RCA out to sub, it just seems a bit more dynamic and deeper bass. It's a much easier hookup also, especially if you are us... | |
| Innuos PULSE Mini? Why is it so ugly ?? It could sound like angels singing, I can't buy ugly. | |
| Bluetooth vs Turntable Recommendations Totally agree with Mahler123, get a ifi zen bluetooth receiver for $190.00, use it with a Android tablet or phone that supports Ldac codec, and it is just simple, trouble free and amazing sound, much better than vinyl. Don't let the price foo... | |
| I love my analysis plus but... The guy is just showing what a rip off the so called hi end cable industry is. Any DIYer will easily see this, but those who can only speak with their money will just pay the price. I could build that exact 6ft pair of cables for less than a hund... | |
| what size magnepan I'm using .7s in a 15×15 room with a Rel S812 sub, and they are perfect, and you don't need a ton of power, and they don't have to be 3ft from the wall either, so don't let that ditter you. | |
| how to buy power cords that fit my components (i.e tight and snug) I use glass tape to make them fit tighter, and support the cables by straping them to shelves or columns of the rack with small cable ties. | |
| Aric Audio Custom 300b PSET How much exactly were the WE 300bs ? | |
| DACs with Preamp Stages, Pt 2 Thanks, I have been looking at those Bel Canto units a lot recently. | |
| DACs with Preamp Stages, Pt 2 Could you explain your romance in more detail? |
