| Speaker Cable Advice Audio Note makes some excellent relatively affordable copper speaker cables. Lexus would definitely be in your price range and the next step up Isis should be as well. | |
| Opinions on MBL 116F speakers I don't have any direct experience but they are known to be notoriously hard to drive, you will very likely need a new more powerful amp. | |
| What's the purpose of the Auralic Aries G2 if the Auralic Vega G2 has built in streaming? It's for people who want a streamer and want to use their own DAC. That's basically it and the straight Aries is also a bit higher quality streamer than the Vega since that is all it does and it's optimized for it. | |
| Suggestion To The Moderators To Rid This Site Of Spam Frank finally something political we can agree on! I live in DC so taxation without representation is my daily reality. :) | |
| Went down the "rabbit hole" of speaker cables and these showed up! Congratulations! Good cables can make a real difference in almost any system glad Transparent worked out for you. | |
| Art Audio Diavolo hum @verdantaudio I just wanted to say it's awesome that you responded to a thread, two years old, having just picked Art Audio up for the USA. It speaks to you're wanting to get them off on the right foot as they re-enter the US market so kudos to you. | |

| Which DAC is being used with Bluetooth? Bluetooth would send the signal to a wireless receiver then to the Dac in your Cambridge the Bluetooth wireless signal is digital not analog. | |
| Favorite band or artist of all time? The Grateful Dead. | |
| Jadis JA-80: Tubes and speakers. Having not heard your amp specifically generally speaking going to an EL34 tube from a KT-120 will give you a richer warmer sound. However it won't, nor would any tube change, rid you of the bloated mid-bass or lack of dynamics. A higher sensitivi... | |
| Used Market Savings vs. The Dealer Experience I had the experience of buying a succession of used tube amps on Audiogon and taking them to the local dealer, Deja Vu Audio, for various repairs. They were smart enough to always loan me an amp, an amp that always sounded better than the one I br... | |
| Music streamer with no DAC and no storage? Hey Uber I've been around just haven't kept up with old threads very much and I guess I let down the streaming tonight thread. :p Happy holidays! | |
| What do you like most? Jazz or Classic? I would have to say classical, I listen mostly to jazz but not really that into jazz violin. I like Stephane Grapelli well enough but don't find I listen to his music very often. |
