What’s good @davidrolon ?  How you liking your speakers/amp pairing?   Im digging the Cambridge CXA61 combo more and more. Their slightly more relaxed but detailed and accurate British sound pairs well with these speakers.  The Arcam SA20 was so...

Ditto on audition if you can. Zu has a generous return policy since they know you can’t just go down to you local hifi store (if you have one) and demo.    And yeah unfortunately the CXA61 lacks a phono preamp. I have a couple but will likely fir...

Awesome @jamesecox  glad you’re enjoying your new speakers. And definitely an interesting note on the DAC.  These seem to be playing well with quality equipment of relatively reasonable cost as Zu claims.    my Cambridge Audio CXA61 comes tomorr...

@fendersrule  I’m glad you’re enjoying you DW6 Superfly as much as I am!     I was actually already considering doing something similar using a thin piece of board instead of coasters. I bought the rubber isolation feet and there’s not a way to ...

@fendersrule Hell yeah!  Do it yourself subs are awesome and affordable.  I’m not familiar with the Denon sound signature. However, if I don’t like my Cambridge Audio CXA61, I may just give your Integrated a shot.   I’m looking for something solid...

@fendersrule  What @ozzy62 said. Your vaulted ceiling and large room makes it a tougher space for the low frequencies to fill. Your listening area volume is waaaay more than mine.    Here’s a quick shot. These speakers have plenty of low end in ...

@snapsc  I agree with @fendersrule in sounding like a large speaker. Especially once you get the peaks up over 80db. The play softly well enough but seem to come alive in my system at that volume.  Good recordings can have a very wall of sound ef...

@fendersrule  Congrats on a successful trip and getting them home safe. I bet thats a super cool finish. Surprised they seem bass shy…not the case at all in my space.  One would think that integrated would have plenty of low end grunt with those ...

@davidrolon    a very wide array of cool gear. Good luck with the setup. These are some decently heavy towers for sure.

Audiophiles do a lot of amusing things and that’s def one of them.    Speaker day for several of you out there. Excited for others to chime in with their thoughts. I got a stupid good deal on a Cambridge Audio CXA61 refurbished from manufacturer....

@beetlebum    I’ve seen this brand recommended before. The ACE looks like a pretty awesome feature packed Integrated.  Will def add those suggestions to the list to think about/trial. I would like to move away from tubes if I can find something ...

Added one more tweak to the system…I finally broke down and bought a pair of Blue Jeans Cable Canare 4S11 speaker cables. Thus far I’ve just used cheap cables with non locking bananas. Looking forward to see if they make any difference. At the ver...
