| Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby? I could easily stay with what I have, but it's not likely! :) | |
| Looking for a new DAC Def audition the Weiss | |
| Who has gone fully active? What speakers and preamp did you end up with? I had an active Linn system in the past. It was good but I didn’t love it. Conceptually I like the idea. | |
| Have JBL K2s...best Amp pairing please? I love the K2’s and have heard them many times with ML electronics. That’s a pretty obvious pairing to consider. Infigo amplifiers are very, very good and fly under the radar. I think they would pair extremely well with your speakers. do you h... | |
| New Magico Speaker Break-in Question I listened to Magico’s and also found the top end to be too aggressive for my liking. I ended up with Rockports which also use a Beryllium tweeter but have none of the harshness. Hopefully yours smooth out over time. | |

| USB Cable Recommendations Under $500 I have an AQ diamond I'm not using anymore if interested. It's a great sounding cable! | |
| Linn LK240 bi-amping confusion I had a Linn system at one time but with newer gear than what you have. To go fully active you will need an amplifier channel for each driver along with an individual activ module for each. | |
| Where to put best interconnects Best cables between source and preamp. Once the signal degrades there is no repairing it downstream. |
