| Recommendations for Cabling From a component point of view you have a nice system... I think pretty well balanced by having the LT preamp that is a bit warm and natural to offset the more analytical and a bit dry sounding detailed oriented amp and DAC. Did you add the upgr... | |
| Should I get the Moon 891 streamer/dac/preamp for my Moon 861 amp? Or separates? More information would be really useful. It would really help us to see your system, if you create a virtual system and photos. Given what you have asked. The real question is where do you want to go sound wise? Right now your MacIntosh is pro... | |

| Will these subwoofer be enough ? I upgraded my speakers from Sonus Faber Olympica 3 to Sonus Faber Amati Traditional. I felt I no longer needed them. The perfect coherence top to bottom, make me very happy with the sound. I was a planar speaker person for a couple decades. Subw... | |
| HiFi laundry At today’s level of technology in high end audio. You can basically achieve the same level of audio between vinyl, CD, and streaming for roughly the same amount of money. If one is superior to the other it is the technology choices that make it so... | |
| Do you recall "instant improvement" from your first stand-alone DAC ? My first CD player around 1983 was a two box affair. Sounded better when I upgraded the digital cable. Since then I have had more than 20 dozen DACs in various systems. By and large you get what you pay for. I have bought some small DACs that soun... | |
| Has anyone sold over $35k worth of equipment over the net? How do you protect yourself? Perhaps I am just paranoid. But no way I would ever do something like that. I would sell to a reseller or consign. Ever since I got ripped off as an 18 year old buying a used car, where the battery was charged to cover up it had no alternate, or f... | |

| Will these subwoofer be enough ? It really depends on what you are trying to do. If you are trying to accurately reproduce music. Then the subs you are looking at will do that. If you are looking to pressurize the room and overemphasize the lower bass, then larger subwoofers may ... | |

| My SACD Transport feeds so much better signal to my DAC compared with streaming end... I use an Aurrender N100H with an Ayre QB-9 20 DAC for my headphone system. My virtual systems are posted under my UserID. I use an Arrender W20SE and Audio Research REF CD9se for my main system. I have also tried other streamers and DACS like dCS... | |
| Shielded Speaker Wire 12AWG I’m a bit confused about your question. Generally, systems put together for high fidelity will be interconnected with speaker cables... built to sound good as opposed just some off the shelf wire with a material requirement. Since it sounds like... | |
| My SACD Transport feeds so much better signal to my DAC compared with streaming end... @kennymacc +1 I have found the key is streaming done right. I used to channel surf when the sound quality wasn't there. Then, when I achieved great sound... each album was captivating... and my desire to change completely disappeared. |
