| stand-mount speakers for classical music I didn't have any real issue getting the Carrera Be's to integrate with a pair of Rythmik F-12s. Speaker fronts were 32" off of the wall. | |
| Recommendations for PC -- for modest system -- Cullen, Audio Sensibility and Audio Envy are all great internet direct companies with good customer service. In my current setup the Audio Envy power cables are doing a great job. His prices are well under your limit and he has a trial period. I ... | |

| Anyone compared Morrow Audio Interconnect cables with Audio Envy Prestige interconnects? I've actually owned both and the answer to my ears is no. | |
| Review of TEAC NT-505 I agree in terms of sound quality the Teac and the Node don't belong in the same discussion. | |
| Warm/Forgiving AES/EBU digital cable less then $1000 Try the Triode Wire Lab AES cable well under your budget limit. Pete has a 30 day return policy and he runs his cables in on the newest model Cable Cooker before he sends them out. | |

| Need help replacing my beloved Magnepan.... Fritz. I own the Carrera Be's which suit me but he has other models that may suit your preferences better. Call him and talk. | |
| Another streaming newbie The best sounding and most functional all in on unit you are going to find under $2000, though just barely, is the Teac NT-505. While the Node will accomplish the streaming part you would need to buy an outboard DAC for acceptable sound quality up... | |
| DAC Streamer Recommendation Worked fine for me since November 2018 with either a TP Link extender and now an Xfinity Xpod. | |
| DAC Streamer Recommendation You can solve the Teac and Lumin's need for a wired connection with a $20 WiFi extender or if he is on Comcast they have their own extenders. I have owned both units and prefer the Teac. |
