| Do you prefer tall speakers I think speaker height is relative to room height and listening position. I have two systems. Downstairs is my reference and I sit on a couch 8 feet from my gear. The ceiling is 7 feet. Here, a speaker can be too tall. Upstairs, I have a grea... | |
| Favorite Album Cover (picture or art on the cover) Many great ones mentioned! I just bought an original Allman Brothers 'Eat a Peach', just for the artwork on my wall. I'm sure everyone knows the front,,,but the back is way cool with a train carrying a watermelon, while the front is a truck with... | |

| If you HAD to purchase a used (over 4 years old) DAC, what would it be? Many great choices here. Mola Mola Tambaqui is still superb, but has not dropped in price too much. | |
| Marantz NR1200 with Emotiva BasX A-300 Hello @ajiayalur, I see the Emotiva has a 12v trigger, but I do not see a trigger output on the Marantz. Does it have one? If so you need a 12v trigger wire connected. (usually a mini phono plug, but needs to be specific for stereo or mono as ... | |
| Dac with build-up streamer There is an argument for both combined and separates. At home, I am wanting the best and my MM Tambaqui definitely benefits from a stand alone streamer. I have upgraded (changed?) the streamer several times and they all sound different. But at ... | |

| Let's talk about Silver... @ghdprentice My experience is that low cost silver interconnects tend to be harsh and bright and @grannyring Silver on AC plugs always sounded a tad thin and tipped up. Silver hook up wire in my builds always sounded a tad thin with less b... |
