| Rank the top reference DACs you've heard When I first got the Tambaqui, I thought it was amazing. But then I was encouraged to try a better streamer. So I go the Auralic Aries G2.1 and it got much better. blacker blacks etc etc. So then i went all in and modded the Aries with a full ... | |

| Sad songs- We love them- We need them @mitchagain yes I think it is the unique combo of cynicism and depression! seeing him live in DC in a few weeks; sure hope he’s not in love! | |
| Sad songs- We love them- We need them I personally love depressing music! Is that an oxymoron?? Old Jackie Greene (before he got married and had a child), LLoyd Cole - a 'pleasant' mix of depressing and sarcastic! | |
| EtherRegen question My Network Acoustics Muon filter System made a big improvement between my EtherRegen any my Tambaqui DAC, or subsequently between my EtherRegen and my Auralic Aries G/2.1 streamer. | |
| Revel Salon 2’s (used) or new Magico A-3 (new) ?? For a family room that opens to say an eat-in or a kitchen, I do not think the Salon 2's can be beat for the money. I amplified with first Classe CA-2300, then Mola Mola Kalugas. Finally Audionet Max's won the crown. Talk about smooth and room f... | |

| Cables to settle brightness +1 on upgrading the DAC. Your amp, preamp and speakers ae al in the 'not bright at all' category (to me). Many will recommend the dac and or streamer /dac they have. Plenty of smoother DACs out there, and you have expensive gear. Demo some! ... | |

| Ethernet - Analog/Digital Signal Clean Up Great topic thanks @audiphile1! So many great responses resonate with my experience. A few comments from my own personal experience: !) Streaming DAC or separate streamer? Well I thought my streaming Tambaqui was the sh** and so I do not need ... | |
| Help finding a subwoofer @ieales Hi I do get the line level and rolling off the main speakers. This can ease up the main amplifier and not stress the woofers of the main speakers. I did this with my bookshelf speakers. But IMOH I feel large 'full range' speakers soun... | |
| Help finding a subwoofer I was very attracted to the iphone control of the SVS subs. But I feel the REL Carbon Specials sounded much better for music. It does take a bit of up and down adjustments to get them dialed in, but then you forget where they even are. They go ... | |
| Looking For The Best Pre-Amp Match For A Pair of Classe Omega Amplifiers @neonknight - I also had in home demo of McIntosh C2700 tube preamp and C53 SS preamp. Both sounded veiled compared to the same amps with Audionet. I had heard what a great match Classe / McIntosh and B and W are. (I had 802Ns at the time) but fo... | |
| Looking For The Best Pre-Amp Match For A Pair of Classe Omega Amplifiers I had Classe amps with my Classe SSP-800. Fairly good for both music and video, but unreliable and not as good as a dedicated two channel preamp. It was the Classe processor's second failure that got me started down the rabbit hole of better sou... |
