Bang for the buck vs. “money no object” cable recommendations
Yes, I have been using mogami cables for a while now. W3082 for speaker and 2549 for interconnects. I recently changed gear with the most significant change being speakers... now having Revel F30’s. So far, everything sound good. Just curious if t... 
Quick Poll on USB Cable: Audioquest Carbon or Shunyata Venom?
Wow, the responses were amazing—thank you. I went with the 
Best Sounding USB Cables?
I’m interested in this question too the OP has posted. I’ve read the Lush is very nice too and I’m debating between the Audioquest Carbon and Shunyata Venom. I’ve heard great things about both, and have read a couple reviews that the Venom is even... 
Integrated recommendation for Revel F30
Also have the opportunity to pick up a musical fidelity a308. 
Integrated recommendation for Revel F30
Hegel H90 too small at 60wpc at 8. Or would H160 be more ideal? 
Integrated recommendation for Revel F30
Thanks for all the good suggestions guys. I’m currently using a Naim Supernait 1. It sounds good, but I’m not sure it’s the perfect fit. Although I’ve read several times that Naim naca5  speaker cable is the correct cabling for Naim gear. The moga...

Thanks for all them comments. I have an ax7e on the way to give it a whirl. To answer beetlemania... no, no way do I listen at concert levels.

This is true. When I had my 2C’s, I ran them in the same 11x14 room with a creek 4330se and naim cd3.5 cd player. That was a dream pairing and sounded wonderful together. The 4330se was 50 wpc and it too had a passive pre stage.

joey54,That was another question I forgot to ask... XLR vs RCA. I’ve read too that the ax7e sounds best when used with balanced gear. Mine other gear is all RCA. riley804,I asked about room size as I’ve also read that certain owners have reported ...

Classic Integrated Question: Krell or Classe?
Update: picked up a classe cap-150 and it sounded really good—when it worked. It kept cutting out on the r channel and after some research, found out this is a common problem with this particular model. Didn’t want to fool with it, so it was retur... 
Classic Integrated Question: Krell or Classe?
Thanks for your responses. Given the info here, and what I have read regarding these two pieces, I’m leaning towards the Classe for its described sweeter, more musical sound character. I did have a krell kav-300i once, but it was bright, harsh and... 
CD Player vs. music streaming
I’m in the same boat as the OP. I’m currently using an HRT istreamer with my iphone 8 via amazon HD. The istreamer puts cd quality sound, but in direct comparisons to my cd player (Naim CD5i2) the cdp still comes out ahead. Now, I’m currently demo...
