| Power Cables <$500 for Digital Sources @jfrmusic what’s the rest of your system? Audioquest NRG4 power cables have been as much as 60% off lately and I bought a couple “Open Box” to try and so far they sound good. They were like $140 each. Another power cable I’ve been using is the... | |
| Solid State Power Amps @sgordoxyz I just recently bought a used pair of the BHK300’s and so far I’m happy with them. They are not SS, but hybrid. They use a couple of 6dj8 tubes on the input sections and I must say, I’ve been having fun tube rolling! Currently I’m ... | |

| Aurender A200 vs N200 I bought the N200 so I can pick the DAC that suits my ears. | |
| Free Tip for Jumpers I found most speakers that can be bi-wired have a steel plate covered with chrome or maybe gold to jump the highs and lows. Copper wire has to be better that steel, so I’ve been using jumpers forever. | |
| Beautiful Colored Tube Preamp ($10k budget) to Pair w/ Very Accurate Monitors (PSI A25M) Don’t forget Audio Research. They definitely have a warmth to them. | |
| Which has a greater influence on sound quality, the amp or the preamp? Through the Sixties through the two thousands, I had. separates ( with one exception). Everything I changed, changed the sound. I bought a Hegel integrated a couple of years ago and it’s great, but early this year, I went back to separates and I’v... | |
