| Re: streaming recommendations for newbie BlueSound is the brand many people begin with. You can get a combined streamer / DAC. I’m sure many folks will jump in on this. You can get streaming to sound as good or better than any other source depending on your investment level (provided yo... | |

| Long run XLR cables Typically the quality of the interconnects is more important than whether XLR or single ended, provided your components don’t strongly favor (sound better) one connection type. It can be cost effective to use RCA. Mogami are widely regarded as... | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? OP, I noticed you start a lot of discussions. But do not have your system shown. It would be very helpful to see your system. | |
| How do I get a job as a headphone reviewer? I was thinking about your question and realized that headphone reviews are all about the equipment you to drive them. So, I went to see your virtual system. Surprisingly, there isn’t one. I would start there. Let’s see it and maybe a summary of ho... | |

| 300B SET Amp driving Wilson Sabrinas 👍 Pairing of low powered tube amps can be incredibly informative. First that speakers are far less sensitive to tube amp power… way more than you would think. You put a low power solid state amp in there like a Pass kit and it would sound dead an... | |
| Am I right for this forum? Your relative investment is an indicator of dedication, but not the only one. I have known people that do not have large incomes but are fanatical about sound reproduction and dedicate enormous effort to achieving the best possible sound. They are... | |
