| Is there usually a dramatic difference between $5k and $10k cartridges ? I am so glad I never went down this rabbit hole 🕳️ 🥕. | |
| Mixing XLR and RCA outputs when biamping? Bi-Amp good. Bi-Wire, not so much. | |
| If Bi-Wiring is an option, should I choose Bi-wiring over single banana with free jumpers Any way you can get rid of the metal jumper plates will be an improvement.

| Is there any such thing as a bad sounding DAC these days? Thanks @stuartk I did hear that shiny new DAC calling out to me.😃 | |
| Has anyone tried these products? @8th-note Thanks for the reply. The room has two concrete walls and does have carpet and pad, but it’s on a concrete floor and that’s it. I was hoping that for just a few hundred dollars, I could calm it down a bit. | |
