| Does an upgrade make sense? @soix +1 thick… wool. | |
| speakers cables for Lavardin and Harbeth? I would also look into Cardas. Identify an appropriate price range. I look at wise in two ways: 1) quality (sonically)… overall sophistication of design and execution, and 2) sonic character. So, as the first attribute gets better… the sou... | |
| DAC DIRECT IN TO AMPLIFIER OR TO PREAMPLIFIER I agree that blanket statements in high end audio can be problematic. But in this case, moderated by “in the majority of systems a high quality preamp” will improve the sound quality is fairly safe. Direct to amp typically produces a highly detail... | |
| One key to building great systems over time. @mahgister ”It is possible to create… acoustic satisfaction at a low cost…” Absolutely! | |
| One key to building great systems over time. @mahgister Well, honestly everyone’s experience is different and their objectives different. There is a class of folks that @mrdecibel alludes to who have the money and are listening to their systems, and want the latest great reviewed amp or sp... | |
| One key to building great systems over time. @arafiq 👍😊 | |

| Wall treatments “Asymmetrical”? Some photos of your system and venue would be really helpful. There is a place under your user ID to create virtual systems. In general, the biggest challenge will likely be right and left. If there is a lot of space on the right and a close w... | |
| Happy Audiophile Day! @cdc “…While we are celebrating diseases how about happy pneumonia day?” I did not know either. 👍😄🤣 Good one | |
| New to Streaming Qobuz is the best high quality streaming service. Also, they have over half a million albums in high def. Tidal is second… then it drops off. The Bluesound streamer is probably the most common budget streamer recommended. I would also consider @s... | |
