| Warm, flexible, cheap-ish cables? Audience OHNO. Keep in mind speaker cables almost always cost more than the interconnects. Check https://partsconnexion.com/ | |
| XLR cable placement without knowing the cables in question…a general rule I follow…If both cables are copper with one model just higher up the line from the other, best interconnect should be between the preamp and amp. If you have silver and copper I would put the s... | |
| Changing the 6550 power tube in a Audio Research Ref 6SE Preamp I replaced Sovtek 6550 with EH from Upscale Audio, ARC grade. Sounded great. No problemo. | |
| RCA Interconnect recommendations roadcykler 160 posts 01-18-2025 at 01:56am Of all the cables that don't make an objective difference, interconnects are those but what absolutely does make a difference is expectation bias. Wiser words have never been spoken on thes... | |
| ifi LAN iSilencer @akg_ca I’m using it at the EERO end then Ethernet cable from iFi to streamer. In either case I struggle to hear any difference to be honest but it could be that my streamer is not as sensitive. I do easily hear differences between Ethernet cables... | |
| Stereo Times 2024 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS List Internet must be tragic for those with GPS. It’s like having lunch at an Indian buffet when you suffer from IBS.

| Looking for advise regarding Rogue M180’s Make sure all the tubes are seated. Plug the amps in and connect them to your jbl speakers. Power them on with no signal flowing thru. Let them warm up for 30-45min and adjust bias. Leave them on and see how the bias holds. If no noise try them ou... | |
| RCA Interconnect recommendations One other suggestion - I ran Acoustic Zen Silver Ref 2 from Sutherland 20/20 to preamp. I had AZ Absolute Copper from preamp to amp and it struck a perfect balance. If you already have warm sounding cables between amp and pre then O wouldn’t hesit... | |

| Mac MA 352 vs Pass INT-60 @howardlee you need room above and and on the sides for the Pass amp to breath properly. I highly recommend, if possible, to have the amp on the stand and out of the rack for the following reasons….you give it a chance to dissipate heat and you mi... | |
| Auralic Aries G2.1 connect to Holo Audio May KTE I would recommend trying equal quality AES/EBU and USB. Choose what sounds best to you in your system. If I had to guess though it would be USB. | |
| Mac MA 352 vs Pass INT-60 Go for the Int-60. With your speakers it will most likely rarely exit out of its 30W Class A bias. Pass is warm and luscious sounding and should be a nice match with the Kefs. | |
| Ethernet @bigshutterbug linkup sounds rolled off and dull in my system but that’s compared to Purist Audio CAT7. I don’t use it for streaming but I do have it on my apple tv and mac mini without any issues. It’s not for a high end digital front end but in ... |
