| Power Amp Question I must agree with @fiesta75 that moving the stuff from in between your speakers would likely result in a real improvement. But given the size of your room the biggest gain would be in the preamp. A good preamp is the heart and soul of a system lik... | |
| Whole new world I think the same effect is obtained regardless of your hearing level. 😃👍 Ok, now for a challenge. Quite few years ago someone in the audiophile community suggested you need to remove your glasses when listening. I think I remember doing it an ... | |
| Which complete set of cables to try out? Try the Cardas Gold Cross before you buy. I find them very warm. Most systems have a tipping point… if you go past it, suddenly the detail disappears… But you can never tell until you try. Yes, contemporary Cardas are more neutral than earlier mod... | |
| Advice needed on MC cartridges After 20+ years with a unipivot I agree it is not a easy to use the first dozen times you use it… I would not make an audio decision based on that. | |
| Which Integrated with Magico A3 I would recommend posing the question at the audio aficionado audio forum. The kind of equipment you are talking about is common fare for that user group. | |
| Suggestions for a streamer only (I have a great DAC) OP, you now have a list. Go to The Absolute Sound, Stereophile and Hi-Fi+…. Read reviews. | |

But somewhere in the menus is a button that says something about restarting Conductor… or refresh… or maybe shut down? you click on that, then shut down the app (make it a small window with oth... | |
| Which complete set of cables to try out? Sorry missed your system… no photos. Photos are very helpful I have mine on line. Nice system. Very good description of the sound. The name that comes to mind are Transparent… because they will not tilt the balance. Cardas will… Clear Beyond not... | |
| Suggestions for a streamer only (I have a great DAC) OP, Yes, today a top notch streamer is at or above the level of a high end CD player. In fact my streamer performs at the level of my vinyl rig (also not shabby, see my UserID). We are taking about full wide and deep soundstage. Instruments su... | |
| Which complete set of cables to try out? The High level Nordost are crazy good… the low to intermediate not so much. So I agree with your dealer. I would rent some from cable library. The Cable Store. Cardas should be on your list… tends to be a touch warm which is good in most s... | |
