Who is using I2S cables?
Thank you @jaytor . And yes, I understand a little bit re. the different configurations @lalitk mentioned. Which is why I was asking for smarter folks recommendations :-) If I read correctly, you noticed a significant improvement from AES to a $48... 
pro-ject cd box rs2 vs jays audio cd2 mk3
Forgive me overstepping your question re. comparing the 2 transports as I have not physically tested them. As you likely know, the Pro-Ject is elegant, minimal, and it seems designed to use I2S with their companion preamp. Do you plan to connect w... 
Do You Ever Find Yourself Unable to Listen To Your System?
@Jay73 sorry to hear you're struggling with some personal issues. I find it interesting you'd pose your question in this forum. Why at least 50% of us are crazy. Why else would be be audiophile know-it-alls? lol No doubt you have already done some... 
Topping A90 failure issues. Should I try a 3rd A90?
@audioville I ended up getting a 3rd A90 (after considering other amps) and so far, so good. Depending on where / when you purchased the A 90, you may still have a warranty (I think it is a 1 or 2 year warranty?). I purchased the Topping "ensemble... 
Morrow Audio related to Audiogon? Why so many emails?
@tablejockey :-) w/o question. But still, I'm curious why we get them and what's the relationship with Audiogon? I don't seem to get them from other sellers via Audiogon.  
Morrow Audio related to Audiogon? Why so many emails?
Thanks all who responded. Still curious (someone in a supervisory/marketing and advertising/ leadership role?) if anyone can explain the relationship of dealers trying to sell their products through the Audiogon forum members? Is this how Audiog... 
Right angle wall plug on power cables
Thanks all. Got what I needed. "Enjoy the music!" 
Help selecting a power cord.
1) I won't add to brands as many have already made suggestions. I have a midlevel quality cord connected to a Furman ELITE-15 PF power conditioner but I cannot tell much difference. I've studied at the PS Audio power plant 12 (and talked with th... 
why did my record player slow down, speed up, then go back to normal?
Tenet?  
Tidal hifi
And BTW, if you've not dipped your toes (feet, ankles, legs, torso...) into the MQA GoldenSound YouTubes as well as MQA's reply, you may want to check it out. I said "may". I do recommend Hans response https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwZ5hDzQ5Jg&a... 
Tidal hifi
Yes and no. Please don't beat me but I do like some MQA (headphone system and main stereo). qobuz was too clunky for me; TIDAL and BlueOS are also a mess, twitchy, etc. but they "seem" to be working on it. Since I simplified to only streaming, Spo... 
You mean someone buys this stuff?
Hilarious reading the replies. I was surprised no one mentioned one key word: children?BTW @millercarbon et al, I'm suspicious that those "speakers" are actually baby aliens from the 1953 "War of the Worlds" movie. After all, the truth is out ther... 
Why did you choose the components and speakers that are in your system?
1. Research, research, research. If you have a local high-end audio retailer, check them out. Most are very helpful. There is no substitute to listening to equipment you may buy. Do a lot of A-B testing. Forgive the obvious, but bookmark and organ... 
Suggest something that plays CDs and streams for around 3000?
Just saw this today Cambridge Audio Evo 150Integrated amplifier with HDMI, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth® and Apple AirPlay® 2https://www.cambridgeaudio.com/gbr/en/products/evo  
Suggest something that plays CDs and streams for around 3000?
Forgive me if you’ve made a decision by now as this may be late. I "researched" for about 6 months and ended up with a QUAD ARTERA PLAY + Integrated Media Player. I only use it as a CD player while it does have a DAC. I connect to a McIntosh amp v...
