| Dedicated Music Room Recessed Lighting (High Hats)? Bkeske is sooo right!Plus, no heat. Make sure you buy dimmable ones. | |
| Suggestions The horns ask for tubes or class A. 16 ohms also ask for tubes.However, you need a lot of power, minimum 60 wpc. That rules out a lot of tube amps. | |
| USB compatability https://www.amazon.com/CableCreation-Micro-Compatible-Android-Tablet/dp/B01M5GZ3N0/ref=sr_1_12_sspa?...=Just because the cable fits...means nothing.One side must say host. In other words these cables only work in one direction. | |
| USB compatability Are you using a basic phone to USB cable? That won't work. You need an OTG cable, on the go cable. It looks like a normal micro to usb but it's not. Amazingly cheap fix. | |
| Suggestions Need to know what speakers and/or source?Do you like warm and tubey? | |
| Dac With usb Looks like you need both a digital input (from CD/DVD) and a USB from the computer? Correct? Do you need just 2 channel output, headphone out as well? Need more details. | |

| Phone to receiver, or streamer? Your phone has physical limitations on sound quality. Bluetooth streaming is not the end all. Bluesound has a 30 day guarantee. Try for yourself. They wouldn't do this if they didn't have confidence. | |
| Which in-wall speaker wire The main issue you don't want to face is humm. Shielded cable helps a ton. I would be more worried about crossing over any other wires or sources that could cause issues. | |
| Basic questions for newbie If you like the sound out of the VTL then buying a longer cable seems like a no-brainer? Most good cables are really lightweight. You will never get better sound wirelessly. | |
| Listening room setup + library Great pictures. Books do wonders for absorbing sound. You can probably even put those speakers closer to the walls if they are packed with books. Just be careful which speakers you pick. Some like small rooms better than others. Bookshelf spe... | |
| What’s the best DAC match for the Cambridge Audio CXC original or V2? I think the Cambridge is better than the Oppo. Definitely warmer/smoother. | |
| Policy question: can I give away stereo equipment out here (asking for shipping)? audiogon will still charge for the ad. Try usaudiomart |
