| A quick question on what streamers to consider....... @bob540 I am sure this was a typo, but the N200 sounds notably better than the N100 or N150. The N2x are the current versions of Aurrender streamers. If you can afford it, I would recommend the N200. You will get years of outstanding sound quali... | |
| recommend PRAT Integrated amplifiers (not Naim) Every component of a system contributes into conveying or not conveying PRaT. It is not the realm of only one component… although one component can kill it. | |
| Which turntable? Pro-Ject or VPI? VPI. | |
| Suggested Power Cable for Streamer I use Transparent Reference on my Streamer (you might try a premium) … nice sonic improvement. Audio Quest Storm series as good as you can afford likely to be excellent on your streamer. But given you are happy, try, don’t just buy. | |

| Kids, Dogs, and Speakers @deep_333 😊… you buy them they come with installation. Much can be said for investing wisely. | |
| Power cable Advice... @christianb5s4 I have not been impressed with Audio Quest in the past. But the Storm generation is a completely different story and a breakthrough. It does not shift the tonal balance, it dramatically drops the noise floor, without imparting ... | |
| Streaming Curious …”So what is your current vinyl rig and phonostage?” As I said my vinyl rig sounds the same as my digital… on purpose, and coincidentally they cost about the same.. | |

Most easily identified by how much a system makes you want to tap your foot or move with the music… well done PRAT is physically and music... |
