| Help! New TT skipping badly.... Yes, the floor… that is it. The standard solution is a wall mounted shelf. People in apartments and upstairs the world over have been doing this for decades. Don’t get wrapped up in conversations about suspended tables and other stuff.I had an AR ... | |
| Best Sounding Speaker Cables? @oldaudiophile … From the NYT article: ”So given the assumption that there can only be a truly minor difference with speaker cables and the desire to get something inexpensive (but good) from a recognizable source and from a company I’d heard of, ... | |
| Upgrade from Schiit Bifrost 2? I have a few pieces of Schiit laying around. While ordering them I remember trying to contact them and getting irritated. But once I heard the components I got I decided it was worth the lack of customer service. Most of their stuff costs less tha... | |
| Only one speaker The response to mono sound varies among people. My system images well and I enjoy that part if the experience a lot. I will seldom listen all the way through a mono album. I have a friend that doesn’t seem to care either way. So folks appear to re... | |

| Finally received my SimAudio Titan back! Thanks for sharing your experience. Great to hear the result. | |
| Upgrade from Schiit Bifrost 2? I assume you had a bad experience with your Bifrost. Typically I always invest at least two to three times in a component, it will get you a “Wow” in improved SQ. In the price category you appear to be in, my recommendation would be the Gungnir mu... | |
| Best Sounding Speaker Cables? That is easy, it depends. On your system and values. To my tastes and system the Cardas are a touch too warm, and the Nordost are a touch on the cool side of neutral and lack bass.. I am not that familiar with the other.I have owned a number of Ca... | |
| Best Preamp and Amp combination, interesting finding!!! I think this is a useful comparison. No, not a scientific study. But since I got into high end audio (1978) I have been under the impression that the preamp was the defining component of the two, and critical in the overall system. I am sure I lea... | |
| Quobuz Connection You are definitely in for a treat. Avoiding a PC is also a good decision. What the rest of your system looks like and where you are thinking of going in the future are both important considerations. If this is an intermediate step to a much better... | |
| How are you getting your surround sound? Via Apple TV device. Although when traveling I may use my iPad or MacBook connecting directly to HDMI Tv input. Is that your question? | |

| Questions never stop ever, it seems. I am not sure I understand. If I do, then this is the answer.Subwoofers are powered… so you run a line from the preamp to the subwoofer. You do not want to connect speaker wires to the subwoofer.If you do not have enough preamp outputs you can use... | |
| How many of you are digital only systems? No. Analog is not for everyone. With digital finally getting better sounding, and streaming becoming equal or better than CDs: more music, less hassle, not surprising. | |
| Considering a POSSIBLE replacement for speakers. Opinions? Since you are investing a significant amount of money, why not consider a trip? Are you a 4 hour drive from a city? That’s a day trip. Call up in advance, make appointment. Know what they carry, read reviews in advance. Have a play list. Live furt... |
