| Cost break down of hifi system P.S. About cables. I found that upgrading to better versions of my Analysis Plus IC's and speaker cables allowed a clearer, more transparent signal through. (I did not spend a bundle on them and I got them used.) Because I have a tube dac, preamp,... | |
| Cost break down of hifi system I like @kota1 answer but would amend as follows: 1) The room 2) Speaker, speaker placement 3) Preamplifier and equally DAC/source 4) Amplifier (matched to speakers, of course) 5) interconnects 6) power | |
| Upgrading Bluesound Node power supply with PD Creative (Hans B. reviews on Youtube) @rrboogie Thanks for chiming in. Can you specify what improvements you gained as you moved beyond the Node? Thanks! | |
| Primaluna or not Primaluna OP, I have had no problems with my Quicksilver Mono 60s. My local tech is an audiophile doing this 30 years. He upgraded the caps in my QS and said they were extremely well built -- great transformers, he said, which are key. In my virtual system,... | |
| Dedicated room suggestions You've got great dimensions to start out with. Use the Bolt-area calculator to help. | |
| Who is Gonna Buy A New Jeep Grand Wagoneer For the MacIntosh Stereo? One thing which really adds to my enjoyment of music is road noise. Bring it on. | |

| 100% USA designed & made DAC @mrskeptic Yes, they're quite the company in this regard. But most other companies are not, and most people are not asking about internal parts. Ideology quickly runs into the brick wall of practicality or is revealed as a surface-level preference. | |
| 100% USA designed & made DAC Does Made in America apply to all the internal parts or just some? What percent do you think should be American made? | |
| Ordered a Willsenton R300 @charles1dad You're right. It's a tube amplifier, integrated, around the same price point (a bit above). But no, not 300B. That could be a deal breaker for many, but not for all. | |
| Ordered a Willsenton R300 If you don’t like, you might consider an American competitor with a great track record for customer reviews as well as a reputation for service and reliability. http://quicksilveraudio.com/products/integrated-amplifier/ | |
| Here comes the PS Audio's streamer -- anyone excited? I'm hoping to discover whether there is internal design improvements (connoted by the name "air lens") which make a real difference. I heard Paul's description in the video, but I'm not sure whether that technology is elsewhere, too, and whether i... | |
| Here comes the PS Audio's streamer -- anyone excited? @jjss49 and others cut right to the heart on this one. Thanks for the perspective. | |
| Roger Waters Live Last Night in Glendale,AZ @tomcy6 What people object to is being subjected to stupid and hypocritical political rants. People should be informed in ads that the rants will be a prominent feature of the show. Oh, no! I agree! People should really get a warning about th... | |
