| Very small room systems and synergy You say you're not getting enough bass and you're using speakers that go down to 47hz 6db down. Personally I agree on the subject of metal dome tweeters give me a soft dome any day. But what you need are either bigger speakers with better bass res... | |
| Have I gotten complacent? @zavato I'm with you I've had my amp and preamp both over 10 years now, my speakers and dac both over two years now. Other than replacing a few tubes here and there I am pretty much done. Oh and my dac is out getting a cap upgrade, though I've ha... | |
| VTL amplifier Tube brand The VTL site says 6550 or KT88 for each amp so presumably the customer can choose at the point of purchase. | |

| Audio Note Kit 1 Upgrade Or New Dac I am currently listening to an AN Kits Dac1.1 given to me as a loaner while my dealer upgrades the caps in my AN UK Dac. I think it sounds excellent and I can imagine that you are very happy with the sound you're getting. An upgrade to the output ... | |
| Which reviewers and review sites are the ost reliable? I’ve gotten to really enjoy the reviews of Christian Punter at HifiAdvice.com I just like his writing style and the thoroughness of his reviews. However I read reviews strictly for entertainment these days. | |
| Interconnect recomendations, ~$500 new or used, RCA... In that price range look for used Auditorium23 cables a fantastic sounding copper cable. I use a pair between my preamp and amp. | |

| Is there any Streamer/DAC/Preamp good enough to replace a dedicated standalone preamp? I think that even combining a Streamer and Dac is a compromise. Also adding preamp functionality would be a further compromise. Also you have a pretty great preamp to find a combined unit that's as good a preamp as your Act2 would be next to impos... | |
| Again the topic of weight of amps @ebm You're long overdue to post your system on here that Audia amp sounds very cool!@roxy1927 Unless I missed it you didn't say what speakers you'll be driving with your new amp? | |
| Roon - streaming only...where'd you get your NAS? I also use a Synology NAS I bought on Amazon. My files are my ripped CDs, about 800, and then files I've bought or friends have given me. Most of those are bootleg live shows, I have about 3.5TB of my own files plus I stream Tidal and Qobuz. I don... | |

| People and Place: A review of SW1X DAC seminarian nice review and congrats on your new Dac! I've read some reviews on the Sw1x Dacs their philosophy is very akin to Audio Note which is the Dac I have. There is a lengthy thread about Sw1x started by a member here named wig, check it out... | |
