| "The Ultra High-End Speaker." Speakers must be more than excellent but it's not the speakers that take the system to the reference level, it's the source and the amps. | |
| Are cable “upgrades” just as likely to make your system sound worse? Cables matched to components ? What are you talking about ? The best RCA cables that I have sound best with everything I tried them with, both tube and SS, both analogue and digital, anywhere. Now that's the cables. And they are both musical and d... | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? mulveling, that piece of Swiss transistor Soulution cannot compete with VAC Statement even in the wildest of fantasies. Besides, not all big speakers are created equal in terms of how they perform in relatively small rooms. Don't know about presen... | |
| Tube sound is not about warmth. It's about correct presentation. Tubes can go a long way in revealing the strengths of the speakers. | |
| New computer for Streaming???? ghdprentice, I understand it. Besides, when streaming you own nothing unlike records, tapes and even cds. | |
| Yes, another audiophile at a crossroads story and request for advice ezstreams, I can't advise on the equipment, I only try to follow more expensive pieces and mostly tube equipment.

| any current integrated amps in market have great dacs? Patrick, your idea is valid but you are a little off regarding cost. Above $15k, I would say, or so, I don't closely follow the prices dynamics. | |

| New computer for Streaming???? ghdprentice, if your analogue and digital sources sound the same, why do you still keep the turntable ? Habit, tradition, aesthetics ? | |
| Yes, another audiophile at a crossroads story and request for advice I am heavily biased since I don't like headphones much and only listen to them if I have to and while recording. You are going to get many opinions. Before replacing your amp I would first replace tubes in it, all of them perhaps. Talk to Kevin fr... | |
| WHY KRAUTROCK? Right. It also requires certain familiarity with other cultures in general. | |
| WHY KRAUTROCK? czarivey, it is, though sometimes it is difficult to understand. Take Indian, Persian or Japanese music, as examples. I do understand them partly, at least I think I do, but not fully, especially Japanese. | |
| any current integrated amps in market have great dacs? swede58, I know, I know. I was just surprised that no one mentioned it. Boulder or Gryphon is a matter of preference, I am not talking about their dacs. | |

| WHY KRAUTROCK? Damn, they all speak American. How many of you speak German ? |
