| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Frank thanks so much for saying that and totally understood we all get overly passionate at times. And speaking of good wire for me personally just dropped a Jorma Design digital cable between my streamer and dac and wow talk about a wholesale imp... | |
| New Preamp...New Cables??? papostol just seeing this thread glad you love your new preamp so much. And glad you took the sage advice above to stick with your amp and give it a listen before deciding you need a new one. And all things considered a non remote volume control w... | |
| Kimber KS-1130 or KS-1126 ha well awesome jon glad you got the cables you wanted! | |
| Who has tried "TIDAL" vs other streaming applications? grm no reason to set it to a lower sampling frequency unless you prefer the sound, it shows up lower than 96 for me I assume because Auralic doesn't support MQA. | |

| Integrated Amps with Phono for $3000 or less (or separate phono and Integrated) FWIW you have a pretty excellent amp already I suspect it's going to be tough to better it for under $3K with phono even used. What about your sound are you trying to change? Perhaps invest the money in a better outboard phono stage to pair with y... | |
| Interesting article @raymonda your opinion is perfectly valid and well expressed, and contributes to the thread. Thanks for sharing it and don't sweat the criticism. | |
