| What affects front to back depth in room/ system? 😊👍 | |
| Old phones as streaming sources @eagledriver_22 …”This leads to my conclusion that every one who is interested in this topic needs to find out for himself where the truth lies. ” Yes, very true. For me, I have been really amazed at how much the streamer makes a difference. But ... | |
| Preamp advice Well, pretty much any preamp. What is your price range? Without any information I would recommend the Audio Research LS28SE as an outstanding sounding reasonably priced preamp. Detailed, perfectly balanced, musical / magical sounding preamp wi... | |
| Old phones as streaming sources From an earlier in this post, I said …” I have streamed from about every device you can think of.” Let me go into a bit more detail. I have owned / used extensively in my systems: iPods, iPhones, iPads, several MACs, PCs (some optimized by shutti... | |
| Value of a preamp? I just knew Deep Audio was behind preamps. | |
| Comparing streamer/DACs between $5-10k @zlone Congradulations! Great sounding streamer. You are quite right about the additional opportunity for improvement by replacing the Gumby. I recently compared the Yggdrasil with the Linn ~$5K DAC and it was like night and day. There are s... | |

| So many good choices and here is my upgrade plan 👍 | |
| Cable upgrades OP, Honestly the way I do wires is in phases. Speaker cables and interconnects and stop. I will use the 10% as a guide on those. [understand, I have all sorts of wires laying around from the past 50 years of audiophilia]. When I have finished,... | |
| Help me pick some new or used speaker cables Cardas Beyond for all. The warmth should help tame the system.Used Cardas Gold Cross. | |
| What next? The next step would be a streamer and DAC. Sounds like you are talking a very low budget. Have a look at a BlueSound Node X. This should be a huge jump in performance. The more you spend (assuming careful choosing) the better sound you will ge... |
