| Best RCA interconnect up to ~$100? Pine Tree Audio. Well made available in a variety of colors. Good insulation, OCC copper, quality connectors. That's all I use in my system. Power cords also. Very quiet, neutral and good sound staging. You will not need new ones. IMO | |

| Intg Amps: Hegel 590 vs NAD M33 Masters vs Gryphon Diablo 120 If the Gryphon doubles at 4 ohm and 2 ohm I would not be concerned. I see it puts out 440W @ 2 ohms.The big Gryphon will drive anything. I have not seen a class D products that do that. I don't listen to lots of gear but heavy and doubling Watt... | |
| Bought a system without auditioning, thoughts? I think you did pretty well. Pass and Klipsch are a good match. I use the XA25 with Crites(Cornwall sized). But if for some reason, you don't like the speakers, you have plenty of power for most speakers. A couple things to consider: If you ... | |

| As A Youngster, What Unit Puqued Your Interest In All This? I could say my 8 track player and greatest rock hits but.. My friend, who worked at the local audio store, had a Big AR tube amp,AR SP3 preamp and Magnaplaner Timpani 3s. So smooth and natural sounding. Much better than the smaller Magnapans cr... | |
| Help this old rookie with speakers I have Crites Type B. 4 yrs old. They are made with quality components. Set up correctly, they will sound quite good. I have subs and they sound better. You can order them with ALK adjustable crossover now. I have seen veneered versions that ... | |
| Best EXTERNAL DAC suggestions I didn't know any better and was using the Node for a preamp. I have rhe 2i. It is a digital volume control and "bit strips" I changed it to "fixed volume". Very important! I have very similar speakers. I use a passive Khozmo preamp. My sys... |
