@audphile1 I did buy a Rel S/510 sub for bass as well. So should be good on bass 😊 …better be 🤣 …don’t have room for 2 😔

@audphile1 - thanks for the advice! They’re still in boxes in my living room 🤣 I don’t have a ton of freedom to move them, but the plan is to have them about 18” from their back wall. They’re only about 6 and a half feet apart (measured from tweet...

Thanks @devinplombier! Hoping I don’t miss the class A, but then again - I won’t know what I don’t know 🤣😛 this is my first serious system.

I was waiting too long for the INT-60 so I decided to cancel that order and go with the INT-250 which is more readily available. The musc I listen to is very dynamic (Daft Punk and Pink Floyd for example). My understanding is that the INT-60 doesn...

Combo DAC/AMP for Headphones
Chord makes great products and their DAC/Amp combos are very nice IMO! I have the Chord Mojo and love it as my travel rig. Their interfaces are kinda weird tho so there’s that. Solid stuff!  
Rel s/510 x 2 vs one Wilson Loke
@soix Not quite apples to apples. The Rel aesthetic and paper cone (vs aluminum) are attractive to me as well as the compact size and speed vs a 12. I got mine new for $2k, so the difference is about $700 vs an order of magnitude difference of $70...

Thanks @maprik!! I’ll try my cheap cables and borrow some good ones then compare

This has all been great! Seems as tho I made a pretty good choice for my first real system. After the amp comes in (8 weeks) I’ll come back with how it sounds! I’ll try out some better speaker cables on loan from Definitive. I am finding that I mi...

Fortunately my local shop (Definitive) will let me try out cables so I get the best of ALL worlds!! I went with the cheapest option first so it’s all up from there 🤣 I hope the Transparent Audio ICs I bought foot the bill

@audphile1 excellent!! I look forward to learning more. This setup already is WAY beyond anything I’ve ever had. Thanks for sharing your experience!!

@audphile1 - I hear what you’re saying, and I do have access to better cables to try. If I can hear the difference then I will certainly upgrade them! But for two orders of magnitude cheaper, I can’t not try.
