| Rythmik or REL Subs to pair with Totem Element Metal V2? Rythmik without a doubt as you pay no middle-man or dealer markup and if you have an issue you can deal directly with the owner. There is a reason you can buy two instead of one. I own two pair. | |

| Is there such a thing as a good medium priced music streamer? As good of streamers as the models from Aurender, Innuos and Lumin may be if the OP wants to stream Amazon natively that narrows the market down considerably. In his price range that basically leaves the Aries G1.1 which is on sale for $2200 and ... | |
| Fleetwood Deville vs Wilson Sound If you're shopping in the Sasha V price range I would look closely at the Verity Arindal as it may give you the best of both worlds. If closer to the price of the Deville is where your at then the Otello. | |
| Streamer to Denafrips Iris to Pontus need cable suggestions please Use the DH Labs USB cable included in the sale from the G2 to the Iris and then I2S cable from the Iris to the Pontus.. If Darren at DH Labs makes an I2S cable at a reasonable price then try that if not then Wireworld. https://silversonic.co... | |

| Looking for intermediate-step Streamer: better than BS Node and not @ Bartok level pricing At the lower end of your stated range the Auralic Aries G1.1 and then invest $500 in the 45 minute DIY Hoer-Wege power supply upgrade. Going up the Innuos Pulse and at the top of your stated range the newly released Aries G2.2 at $6000. Also wor... | |
| How good is a match of Vandersteen Treo CT and the LTA Z40+ Intergrated? Definitely not enough power run full range and likely not even high passed with Vandersteen subs. If you want to try tubes may need to go higher output than the Z40. When I owned them I tried them with 60 wpc tube monoblocks and didn't feel it w... | |
| budget diy tube preamp beating many expensive preamps... problem with my system? @smodtactical The RCA's would be a good place to start but I would also talk to him about speaker and power cables as well as conditioners as he makes all of them. Get his opinion of a plan to follow. The PSM 156 is a great place to land for a ... | |
| budget diy tube preamp beating many expensive preamps... problem with my system? @smodtactical If I remember correctly you lived in the Toronto area? If so reach out to Steven at Audio Sensibility also in Toronto about trying his cables. Even his base Impact IC's are OCC copper with Furutech connectors. If you e-mail or c... | |
| Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers From owning Carrera's for over three years try 8' apart and around 9.5' back. 10' apart is a bit much in my opinion for book shelf speakers. As to any harshness or sibilance give them a while as even soft dome tweeters need break in. | |
| Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers @dsper I owned Carrera BE's for over three years and have owned speakers with the same drivers as the Carbons. Which speaker model you chose will determine the best amp for you as their voicings are not the same. As was recommended several t... | |

| Anyone buy one yet? Thoughts? No mystery about what this product is and it’s purpose. It’s first and foremost a Roon endpoint designed to go with their DAC's which explains I2S instead of USB as it’s main output. No different in purpose than the Holo Red or the Sonore products... | |
| Jay's Audio CD Transport Repair Apparently reading comprehension is not a strong suit because if it was you would know that once the OP made contact with where he was directed to in the very first post his problem is being resolved outside of this forum. |
