| DAC suggestions I’m listening to a Denafrips Pontus ll as I write those and with my Hegel amp, I get a nice fairy neutral sound. Definitely not bright. All the best. | |
| The Good Stuff Thanks @rok2id and all, I’ve been lurking here for quite a while and enjoying all the titles. I’m currently on Amazon Music and can get most of the suggestions, will probably be going to Tidal soon if they have a larger library. | |
| Best vibration isolation for speakers on carpet? I’m really happy with the Isoacoustics Gaia’s. I believe your speakers would use the Gaia 3’s and their carpet spikes, or you can do what I did and put everything on some granite slabs. | |
| Mass-loading subwoofer @zlone You wouldn’t happen to have a picture? 😁 I have a 42 pound curling stone on my REL 7i. Not sure it makes any difference, but it looks good. | |

| Shout out to Ryan Brothers Always great to hear a story with a happy ending! Thanks for sharing. | |
| Disservice: XLR interconnects I learned in the eighties that interconnects matter when I went from the cheapie IC’s that came with components to Monster. I paid $112 a pair for them and was blown away! I ended up getting two more pair later! | |
| Clicking preamp So I’m listening to John Coltrane, The Lighter Side Of John Coltrane. The first song, Soul Eyes is in HR and the second song, What’s New is 16/44. | |
| Clicking preamp It might be Amazon Music. It’s kinda weird when listening to an album and you see the lights on the DAC change from CD quality to 24/192 from song to song. It’s almost as if they are reconstructing the album on the fly. And yes there are occasiona... |
