| BEST little know Jazz Album that you ever heard? Bothwell stopped playing music in 1949, at age 30, though he continued in the music business for the next 40+ years...Street of Dreams contains almost all his recordings as a band leader from the 40's... | |
| Speaker placement Quandary Mine are placed similar to yours...mine sounded much better when I removed most of my room acoustic treatments (I had overdone that)...I also have dual subs, so do not have to optimize speakers for bass...just lots of variables and personal prefer... | |
| magnepan and if you don't have a local Magnepan dealer, call Johnny R , he's as good as it gets... | |
| Solid-state alternative to Freya + considering how long the tubes last, the SS option, and the availability of low cost replacement tubes, not sure you will save anything by selling it and buying something else... | |
| Looking for a great phono pre-amp in the $1000 or less range I have the Mani 2 and it’s an incredible value...though very curious about the new Schiit Skoll phono stage that’s $399 ... | |
| i2s Cable for Denafrips Iris -> Pontus? @soix I cannot find any HDMI cables 1 foot or less...DH makes an 20 inch, Wireworld a 24 and AQ a 30...any suggestions ? | |

| Ideas for Pre/Power $9000? Belles Aria Signature. BAT VK3000se being closed out. Gato Amp 150. All $4000-$5000 new. I own or have owned all 3 and all are terrific. | |
| Ideas for Pre/Power $9000? In regards to an earlier comment by the OP, many Integrated Amps are available without any DAC or digital features…digital would be completely separate and upgrades up to you… | |
| Amp first approach to build a system. Anyone did it ? great deal on a VAC would be hard to resist | |
| Ideas for Pre/Power $9000? I agree on system balance...I was merely stating the Elacs sale will be little help in getting better speakers to match the $9K electronics...and might be good in secondary system...and remain unsure why OP will not consider an integrated amp | |
