| Help me choose an Audio Research preamp/line stage (Please?) Having owned the SP8 and 9, my thoughts. SP8 is complex and wonderful. I still have one. Retubing is no (economic) joke, however. On the SP9 you will want the MkIII. Cleaner all around. I had my MkI upgraded to III and really appreciated the diff... | |
| Can you have too much speaker presence? 50+ years an audiophile. I've never heard "presence" used in this way. Usually refers to upper mix frequencies. It would be interesting to know what your dealers means. And I'm not saying he doesn't know what he's talking about, just that he's us... | |
| Is my HDMI audio out really an i2s connection? Try it! Have fun. But... it is not i2s. I run hdmi from my 1100 to a Moon 390 hdmi in and get 176k from SACDs. I like the sound. Good luck. | |

| Returns I've dealt with Crutchfield several times and have always been very satisfied. I think it is a good company. Look at their "Open Box" and "Scratch and Dent" specials. They're pretty transparent. Good luck. | |

| Why are these called 5 way binding posts? I count four! Is Skyline Chili involved in this? Bare wire, pin, spade, banana and diced onion? | |
| notable consolidation possibility, should I or not? I just did the same thing with a Moon 390. Analog pre, phono pre, dac and streamer with an app to control it all. Fantastic. Just eliminating all those cables can only help. We hope! Good luck. I hope you post your thoughts. | |
| The problem with PLC Nothing is perfect. Perhaps a child's laugh and the smile of a lover. Enjoy the journey! | |
| un-becoming an audiophile I watched the movie "The Menu" and thought it could just as easily have been a room full of audiophiles. Good post. You're right. But it won't stop me! Thanks. | |
