| Klipsch speaker choices The Klipsch RF-3 are OK speakers, but really more home theater speakers than "audiophile" speakers. The RF-7 are better, but still not in the same league with the Heritage series. The Heritage series are a 3 driver design and have a richer sound... | |
| Integrated Amp for small space for VA speakers Consider a used Peachtree Nova 300. Plenty of power and a small form factor and you'll get a nice DAC and a decent headphone amp and a phono input. You should be able to find a used one within your budget. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Dire Straits - Love Over Gold, Japan SHM SACD | |
| Internet Streaming and Channels Depending on the interface you're using, you should be able to sort by genre (rock, jazz, etc.) and also sort by streaming quality. I rarely listen to internet radio, so don't have specific station recommendations. | |
| Integrated Amp for small space for VA speakers Why not give the Yamaha a try first? It has a volume control doesn't it? You don't have to turn it to 11. | |

Wood paneling, no treatments (yet) of any kind and they sound as good or better than my main system. Sealed design,... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Beatles - Abbey Road, MFSL | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Stone Temple Pilots - Purple, remastered Hi-Res, Qobuz. This sounds excellent! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @spiritofradio Thanks for that info. I think I've seen it somewhere else. The table came with a nice Soundeck mat and the KAB RCA cable mod. It came with a Zu Denon DL103. It sounded like crap, not much treble and distorted. I have no history... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @tomic601 The Nova is a great phono stage, but the Chinook has bested it with every other cartridge I've tried, so I was a little surprised. The Shure VI5 Type IV is a little on the "bright" side and with the gain at the high setting it accentuat... | |
