| High Sensitivity Speakers Hello,one thing, please do not get rid of your old speakers unless you are absolutely sure. Buyers remorse is one thing, but sellers remorse can be way worse since it is harder to replace the old. A lot of people keep there old stuff to go back to... | |
| Separates or Integrated? What makes more sense? Hello, my issue is if tech changes you are back to square one. Second, you are sharing one power supply with both in an integrated amp. More power is better. Third, you may get things you do not need but still pay for: phono preamp, DAC, and tuner... | |
| Silly question, but I’ll ask it anyway. Amazon interconnects are cheep but OK quality. I would not waste your time or possibly cause damage to your gear. As long as you have two conductors per interconnect you are good. Next would be the shielding. Is it good enough? I am more worried a... | |
| My system is where I want it be and it sounds awesome... I agree with the two subs. Or even one good REL sub since you are using single ended. My speakers will play down to 25 hz and I still have two subs. I just bought a new car. One had a subwoofer option and the other did not. The sound is night and ... | |

| Thinking to replace my phono Sorry to piggyback Ziggi, I just wanted to let them know the options. | |
| Thinking to replace my phono I believe PS Audio just came out with a new phono preamp. There is almost no risk to you and they have a dollar for dollar trade in on your old preamp. You do not even have to return the old one right away so you can compare the two. I would love ... | |
| Help to chose acoustic The issue is: it is like asking what car should I buy because I use Michelin tires and Shell gasoline. I believe most speakers can out play the source as long as you have a nice system, I have a pair of cheep $100 speakers in my basement that I ho... | |
| Help to chose acoustic Where are you allowed to put the speaker,against the wall, 1/3 out from the back wall, or a few feet out?can you go floor standing or do you have to go bookshelf and stand,do you have a color preference? It looks like you like the wood finish. Do ... | |
| Guest suddenly takes it upon herself to move my speakers Hello,it sounds like if we are chill and are OK when accidents happen then that person is Ok when things go wrong. I respect that and wish I could be like that. For the rest of us who are a little OCD like myself it sounds like we need to do our d... | |
| Best DAC - Preamp Combo $5 to $10K Budget Amen,I always feel when you use a DAC as a preamp you start losing something. It’s like slowly turning your music into an MP3 as you lower the volume. When your Preamp goes down or your waiting for your new tubes it is nice to have the option. I c... | |
| 2 Questions? Buy a decent subwoofer, I prefer a sealed enclosure like the SVS line starting with SB. I think the 2000 series is on sale now. You can turn it on and off as needed. I also have bought some used that work great for music like the older Yamaha YST ... | |
| Guest suddenly takes it upon herself to move my speakers Hello,this seams like a good lesson for everyone who cares about their gear. Tell people your concern, protect your gear, and trust no one. It is being overprotective, but it is such a pain to deal with it later. It is amazing how many people do n... | |
| Power Cable from wall to my conditioner? Hello, If you are going from the wall to the conditioner I would go for thicker gauge copper wire. On the cheep, amazon makes some decent cables. Higher end I would go PS Audio 12. You can get used ones all over the place. I believe they use solid... | |
| Best DAC - Preamp Combo $5 to $10K Budget Audio byte Hydro Vox. It has an external power supply. Also it will have a matching streamer that can get is powered by the same external power supply as the DAC. I believe 11stereo.com is a dealer. Then pick your preamp. Maybe something with tube... |
