| Cables recommendation @el_it Audience is a solid recommendation. SR Foundation were not great in my system and certainly not a match for AZ Matrix II which I had and used in many iterations of my system including with B&Ws. Audience OHNO XLRs should be good. Audi... | |

| Upgrading @malbor While cables make a difference, be it power cords, speaker cables, interconnects, etc. in your set up I’d be looking to upgrade speakers or components or most importantly invest in room acoustics if you haven’t done so yet. no cable chan... | |
| Opinions: Martin Logan Renaissance 15a vs. Bowers & Wilkins 800D3 @farne230 if you’re going the CD player route I would suggest a player with a USB input. Audio Research, Luxman and Marantz come to mind. You can then get a dedicated streamer without a built in DAC and run its usb out into the usb in of the cd pl... | |
| Zavfino @juanmanuelfangioii keep the thoughts coming. | |
| My experience with the First Watt F7 @roxy54 synergy with the rest of your components, your speakers and your room, plus your preference for sound is what’s important. If the amp didn’t gel there for you with it all, then move on. Sometimes when you change a component you may expose ... | |

| Update on my TT causing distortion at higher volume @cinqcepages The E-Glo Petite has settings to accommodate pretty much any cartridge. You forgot to include Moving Iron type cartridge. Soundsmith is pretty popular now although I only heard one model and it wasn’t in my system. Buying two mediocre... | |
| how much should I spend to get a better turntable than my current turntable? Cool. Let us know what you end up with. | |
| Update on my TT causing distortion at higher volume Hana EL or SL. If you can go higher in budget go for Hana ML. Either cartridge set up correctly will improve your listening experience with the ML taking it to new heights. I recommend getting a good protractor such as Dr. Feichert new generation. | |
| Phono Stage Gain - how does it impact sound? @lalitk not sure yet anything is possible :) need to get something that’s on the level with the rest of my gear. Benchmark is great by way and it won’t be easy to beat it. | |
| Dvorak Cello Concerto I’m going to listen to Starker and compare. So far du Pre is my reference for Dvorak and Elgar. | |
| Dvorak Cello Concerto How about Jacqueline du Pre with Barenboim and the Chicago Symphony? How does her interpretation compare to your reference? |
