| Opinions: Martin Logan Renaissance 15a vs. Bowers & Wilkins 800D3 Not sure about a tuner recommendation... I stream through Roon for radio stations so don't use one. I would recommend a separate transport & DAC instead of a CD player. In regard to transports, a lot of people are using "Projects" TOTL or "Ja... | |
| Wilson CUB I Bummer it didn't work out for you. All the best | |
| Wilson CUB I As the 2 gentlemen above stated, your amp will work fine with those speakers. Cubs are not all that hard to drive & 400wpc at 4ohms will work well. Good luck! | |
| Wilson CUB I @rfnoise - They worked well in a 15' square room. I had them 8' apart, 3' from front wall, & listened (on center) approx. 8' away from them. What Arc amp do you own? | |
| Wilson CUB I The cubs are really good speakers for the money (most seem to go for around $2000 a pair). Given the room, they will throw a nice soundstage. I had them in my dedicated room for a few years until they were replaced by B&W 802D’s. I’m currently... | |

| STREAMING - QOBUZ VS TIDAL AND ROON'S PREFERENCES @fastfreight - It's a bit of a pain but you can select Qobuz on Roon via the "versions" feature. Problem is you have to click on "versions" & select Qobuz each time you choose an album to listen too. | |
| Opinions: Martin Logan Renaissance 15a vs. Bowers & Wilkins 800D3 +1 audphile1 Another good amp choice would be one of the larger Magnus Audio (out of California) amps. The MA400 makes my 802D's sing nicely. | |
| STREAMING - QOBUZ VS TIDAL AND ROON'S PREFERENCES @jeffseight I prefer Roon with Qobuz as do my ears. My ears & I also don't think Tidal is as bad as others seem too. No "scientific evidence" required. | |
| Best resistors for use in phono stage? Hey Steve, I always sought out "Kiwame" resistors for tube equipment. Very nice sounding (definitely not dry or sterile) to my ears. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @bkeske - Thanks so much Brian! Updated the zen firmware per your advice & now have Roon running through USB. Sounds fantastic! | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @bkeske - So I changed to the "all in one" setting on the ifi streamer & am now able to stream via UBS & Tidal. Still can't figure out Roon & UBS so I am running that via RCA for now. Thanks for the suggestion! | |

| Internet Radio on Audiophile Quality 2 Channel System I stream "Sector Radio - Classical" out of Russia occasionally & the sound quality is very good. It's on the list @big_greg linked above. |
