| Did your system getting better the more money you spent or more experience you gained? I bought and swapped equipment for more than fifty years and I might not have the newest equipment, but I’m finally at a level where I’m starting to touch “ High End” and I like it.😁 | |
| Speaker box? So in the morning, Why don’t you just use the link that @stanleylocke so graciously provided for you? They should be the ones with all the information. All the best. | |
| clipping Clipping comes from over driving an amplifier. What you’re describing sounds more like something is skipping. You mentioned a CD player, do you have any other sources that you can try? All the best. | |
| Need a big favor picking a preamp @thecarpathian Who designed that thing, Captain Nemo??!😆😆😆 | |
| can subwoofers make things worse? Doubt a sub or two will make things worse, but you have to take the time to find out where they sound best. I currently am only using one and it’s six feet behind the listening position and only does sounds below 45hz. You will have to figure wh... | |
| Help needed to eliminate unwanted noise from tweeter @auronthas , I doubt very much that the Aries ll is making the noise, but are you using RCA cables from it to your amp?

| DAC upgrade I have had the Denifrips Pontus ll for a couple of years and am still very happy with it. The newest model, the 12 Anniversary is well within your price range. All the best. | |
| Jazz for aficionados I’m listening to Presenting The Kenny Drew Trio. Doing it on Amazon so it’s one long play.44-45 tracks and it still keeps me smiling even after listening to it many many times! And if I haven’t said it yet, Happy New Year All. | |
| SnubWay Question Thread Great video. I’m not sure about the $295, but I’d definitely be interested in the two week trial. The only device I have with a switch mode power supply is my CD transport , but I’m sure the power company isn’t doing me any favors. | |
| Ripping CDs You can buy a dedicated CD copier, but they are expensive. If you buy a streamer that rips CD’s as well, that will be expensive. Getting a used computer somewhere would probably be your best bet. | |
