| How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound? @immatthewj +1 nor mine. | |

| Upgrade Digital Cable Review The first time I remember a shock like that was when I replaced the digital interconnect between my DAC and Transport of my CD player. After learning that analog cables made a difference, I was convinced that luckily that can’t happen with digital... | |
| Swap out b&w 802 d3 for Sonus faber amati g5? 😊 Thank you for your kind words. | |
| Best Music Streamer to pair with Rogue Audio monoblocks and Pre-Amp @soix +1 I’ve owned streamers in the $3K —-> $22K range and each step up rendered significant sonic improvements… pretty much like every other component does. | |
| Upgrade from WIlson Sabrina @soix I completely agree. I would not give up. My fist thought was bass traps… and if you already have them then maybe one between the speakers against the front wall, and definitely keep working on positioning. | |
| Looking for a component for ripping and playing CD's. There are a number of ripper / streamers. But in this day and age I would just recommend getting the best streamer you can afford and skip the ripping all together. For $14/month you can get access to over ten million albums, on Qobuz (the best so... | |
| Did anyone return a PSAudio Powerplant? Why? OP, Thanks for sharing your experience. | |

| That Transformational piece of Gear We All Wish For Typically having no big objects between the speakers and having the rear wall dampened (not reflective… so just paint or a tv) is a bad thing. But like about all things in this pursuit, it depends. I had my audio racks in between my speakers and a... | |
| Swap out b&w 802 d3 for Sonus faber amati g5? Likely to be a huge jump in the direction you want to go. Amati are natural and musical unlike the B&W which are hot on top with accentuated bass. I have Amati… my third set of Sonus Faber speakers and B&W for my home theater. What you are... | |
| Warm relaxed digital coax @secretguy …”amusing how digital people want it to sound analog.” Just historical. Analog was superior sounding for forty years and only recently became competitive or better. | |
| Sonus Faber Electa Amator III vs. the Bowers and Wilkins 805 D4? Congratulations! Enjoy. | |
| Warm relaxed digital coax @stevebohnii +1 I often recommend Cardas, but that is exactly the difference. I use Transparent, but your equipment must be up to them or that added warmth with Cardas can help lessor components sound more natural. |
