| What is it......... Cranking tunes in the car is just fun in a way home listening isn't neither is better or worse just different. I always sing in the car I rarely sing along at home. Plus fewer distractions in the car, except for when there are more. | |
| I wouod like a power cord recomendation that's in the budget category VH Audio Chris Venhaus will build a cable for you and your spec the parts wire connectors etc. He built me a couple cords a little above your price range that I love. And he's a pleasure to deal with.https://www.vhaudio.com/ | |
| Streaming For Beginners I really wish we could have stickies here this question gets asked constantly these days. Admin would it be possible to put a Streaming FAQs sticky or something like it together? | |
| Linear Tracker ...I was wondering Uber that SOTA ad was what made me think of buying a used table. I also kind if want that table so thanks for the reminder I couldn't remember where I saw that ad. :) | |
| Separates or Integrated? What makes more sense? I would also vote for separates for many of the reasons mentioned above. And yes you will need an extra set of interconnects but isn't that half the fun?! As a recently recovered cable addict I assure you it is fun! Also if you start out SS and wa... | |

| Tidal HiFi really lossless? Tidal is lossless but I've never gotten up to 1411 kbps streaming Redbook. It typically sits in the 7-1000 kbps range even on Wifi in my home. Sounds great though. | |
| Replacement for Kimber 8TC cables Having had 8TCs in my own system in the past i would recommend Auditorium23 a nice upgrade soundwise and a very good value. Around $1k new and they tend to pop up used in the $7-800 range. | |
| ... speaker stands other than concrete blocks... +1 Sound Anchors great stands! | |
| Who Offers a Highly Musical Preamp using a 6SN7 tube and a remote? Dehavilland.http://www.dehavillandhifi.com/UV_REMOTE.htm | |
| Voltage question Stepdown converters are affordable or perhaps try using a variac. CD players don't consume much power so should be pretty easy to run off a variac. | |
| A Top DAC Just wondering since you have a very high end MSB Dac already do they offer any sort of upgrade path or trade-in? Might be a good way to go since you already know you like the sound of their Dacs. | |
