| Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier The basis for science is observation. Theory follows observation, then testing both positive and negative cases to prove a theory to be true. Observing and analyzing sound quality and the equipment producing it involves many dozens of variables. W... | |
| What speaker cable for Martin Logan motion series (AMT) tweeter. Cardas are designed to be very warm at the bottom tiers (concealing flaws) and more open and neutral as you move up their lineup. So, top level will be much more transparent. I use Transparent exclusively… they are just that… you get exactly what ... | |
| How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound? @immatthewj +1 nor mine. | |

| Upgrade Digital Cable Review The first time I remember a shock like that was when I replaced the digital interconnect between my DAC and Transport of my CD player. After learning that analog cables made a difference, I was convinced that luckily that can’t happen with digital... | |
| Swap out b&w 802 d3 for Sonus faber amati g5? 😊 Thank you for your kind words. | |
| Best Music Streamer to pair with Rogue Audio monoblocks and Pre-Amp @soix +1 I’ve owned streamers in the $3K —-> $22K range and each step up rendered significant sonic improvements… pretty much like every other component does. | |
| Upgrade from WIlson Sabrina @soix I completely agree. I would not give up. My fist thought was bass traps… and if you already have them then maybe one between the speakers against the front wall, and definitely keep working on positioning. | |
| Looking for a component for ripping and playing CD's. There are a number of ripper / streamers. But in this day and age I would just recommend getting the best streamer you can afford and skip the ripping all together. For $14/month you can get access to over ten million albums, on Qobuz (the best so... | |
| Did anyone return a PSAudio Powerplant? Why? OP, Thanks for sharing your experience. | |
| Swap out b&w 802 d3 for Sonus faber amati g5? @emergingsoul “Shouldn’t it go without saying that speakers should be musical.” You would think, but very often this has been pushed way down the list of attributes. It is not that anyone goes off looking for non-musical speakers (or to create th... | |

| That Transformational piece of Gear We All Wish For Typically having no big objects between the speakers and having the rear wall dampened (not reflective… so just paint or a tv) is a bad thing. But like about all things in this pursuit, it depends. I had my audio racks in between my speakers and a... | |
| Swap out b&w 802 d3 for Sonus faber amati g5? Likely to be a huge jump in the direction you want to go. Amati are natural and musical unlike the B&W which are hot on top with accentuated bass. I have Amati… my third set of Sonus Faber speakers and B&W for my home theater. What you are... | |
| Warm relaxed digital coax @secretguy …”amusing how digital people want it to sound analog.” Just historical. Analog was superior sounding for forty years and only recently became competitive or better. |
