| Handling Heavy Amps The best way to position a big amp is by themselves in between the speakers on an amp stand with the other components to the side. | |
| Planar Speakers and Diffusors Beautiful system Ozzy. I ran planar for over thirty five years. Typically no absorption behind worked best for me. I had Apogee ribbons and they required an absorbing panel about six feet up, in the center above the speakers that was 9” high and ... | |
| worth upgrading BelCanto REFLink? While you are correct about advances. I would recommend replacing your Mac with a proper streamer. The Mac is probably by far the weakest link. A high quality streamer would probably improve the sound a great deal. I prefer Aurender new or used. ... | |
| Audio Racks, Just How beneficial? looking for guidance in upgrading @benanders 😁 Along with changes in my rack came fifty years of upgrades. So, it probably would have sounded better even if I kept the cinder blocks. | |
| if you had this system, what would you do to make it sound the best you can @2psyop +1 I must agree. Upgrading your speakers would be the way to go. You can get lots more out of the rest of your system. If you can swing over $5K you can get into a new class of speakers. If you really like the Mac sound, B&W is a com... | |

| Wool Blankets as Room treatment @soix 😊👍 Good one. | |

| Help with XLR ICs. The rule of thumb with Mogami is that they are competitive with audio replay cables at the same price level. They do not provide better sound for the money. So, they are not a secret “better sounding” cable for high end audio. | |
| Importance of a DAC's elements I recommend looking at this from the high level / sound quality perspective. Merits of the particular technologies… say R2R… etc. become irrelevant in the larger picture of the design of the component and each subcomponent chosen within the box… w... | |
| Stylus stuck in groove. @pindac ? | |
| Turntable prices. Is my mind going? My comment was on wealth bashing. I have had the privilege of working with a lot of folks that could afford a $300K turn table if they wanted one. Obviously, most do not. But as a group, these are incredibly intelligent and hard working people who... | |
| Component contributions to “sound stage” @blisshifi Good post. | |
| Stylus stuck in groove. I’m adding a virtual system to my profile of my home system. It is surprisingly good sounding. | |
| Audio Racks, Just How beneficial? looking for guidance in upgrading @mitch2 Very pretty. |
