| The Best Speakers in the World! @audiodwebe Just a Thought, If you still don’t get the sound you’re looking for, you can easily replace the woofers, for not a lot of money. All the best. JD | |
| Dac or Power regen, which gets the better cable? DAC! | |
| Speakers for Michi X3? @wisemenofgotham , If you like the sound of your R 3’s, why not check out the Reference series? The Reference 1’s and your subwoofer should make you smile! Another thought, would be to move up the AQ line and check out the Rocket 88 speaker cabl... | |
| Music Server/DAC – Ethernet, USB, S/PDIF, AES3 or I2S. What an easy to read/understand article. Thanks for sharing. | |

Adding a bright DAC and a bright amplifier is looking for trouble. Last year, I went from a tube preamp and tube amps to an all solid state integrated. Oh boy wh... | |
| Which would you choose for good sounding tube preamp for an audiophile new to tubes. @arichison Depending on n your budget, Audio Research makes great great tube preamps, and amps! Maybe a Refrence 3? Maybe a Reference 5? | |
| 2-3k budget - adding DAC/Server to Bluesound Node? I have Node N130, a NAS and a Denafrips Pontus ll and am very happy. All the best. JD |
