| Pass Labs X350.5 and Krell FPB200 I had N803 paired with ARC Ref1 and X250.5 and they sounded great. Never heard the FPB200 in my system but heard it bunch of times in different systems. There are two reasons why I’d recommend Pass - 1. Great sound with B&Ws and ARC Ref1 2.... | |
| Looking For 18awg Audiophile Power Cable Options I’ll add to what I posted above… Components first, cables last. Consider getting better components rather than spending money on 18awg custom power cords. | |
| Looking For 18awg Audiophile Power Cable Options @acar83 I would also recommend reaching out to the manufacturer of your powered speakers and or whatever other components you have noticed this phenomena with. Get their feedback on it. | |
| Shunyata Delta or Alpha V2 NR vs. AQ Hurricane HC @lordmelton Dragon is a bit more than I am willing to spend. I’m checking out the Alpha V2 NR now. | |
| Looking For 18awg Audiophile Power Cable Options @acar83 I’m not aware of 18awg power cords. But if you insist, you can most likely build them yourself using high quality hookup wire and audio grade connectors. Check out Parts Connexion for wires, connectors, etc. What you’re describing as a pr... | |
| integrated amp for Wilson Sabrina X @ghdprentice +1 on adding Pass and Boulder. However the X or XA series are not integrated amps. That being said, Pass Int250 or Boulder 866 should definitely be added to the list as well as Gryphon Diablo 300. I own Wilson Sabrina (original) ... | |
| Recommend A New DAC Between $1000 and $2000 Bryston BDA-3 fits your requirements. Used should be around or slightly more than $2000’. Chord Qutest is fantastic as well especially with the warm filter engaged. | |
| 8-10k budget suggestions please @asmithkash you’re off to a good start! Don’t forget the room is probably your most important component. Once you get the room in order and get familiar with the sound, consider cable upgrades. The right power cord and speaker cables will take it ... | |
| I need help to decide So why not go with the PS Audio BHK amps? You’ll have synergy between the BHK pre and amps and eliminate the guess work Otherwise the Pass X250.8 would be my choice. It should match as far as output impedance of BHK pre to input impedance of th... | |
| streaming and audiophile stereo @twilightround from what I’m reading you are mentioning Roon, Tidal and Qobuz in the same context. Just to be clear….Roon is a music database management and player software/tool that requires streaming services or a drive/storage with your music o... | |
| Hello Guys, @rohlim in that price range the new AQ Niagara 1200 definitely fits the bill. On a used market a Puritan PSM156 which comes with a very decent and flexible power cable, or a used Shunyata Hydra Talos is another good option as well as Isotek. I use... | |
| streaming and audiophile stereo @twilightround your focus, in my opinion, should be in this order 1. speakers 2. amplifier 3. preamp 4. dac/streamer Even something like the bluesound node will carry you for a while if the downstream components are first class. But if your f... | |
| PS Audio Power Plant P3 to P12 @jaytor got it. Well I still stand by my recommendation to audition at home. Despite what anyone says about how it sounds in their system. I’ve had power products that sounded excellent in someone’s system and were horrible in mine. And vice versa. | |
