| Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Speaker Cables I really like the fractal IC between the preamp and a tube amp but not between preamp and a solid state amp....It also sounded exc between preamp and Chord dac.It's amazingly transparent and vocals are so palpable just wish there was a little more... | |
| Synergistic Research Galileo SX Power cord. (Opinions on sound quality appreciated). The Galileo SX power cables are fantastic on sources and solid state amps wonderfully rich detailed. In my system I greatly preferred the silver bullets as the the gold was too warm.I prefer the SRX cables as they are more flexible and are even mo... | |
| preamp recommendation for bedroom set amp I was going to try the linear tube audio when I can find one secondhand as it would provide me a preamp and a headphone amp and a remote for volume.I am not in a rush where I am gonna buy it new..... | |
| preamp recommendation for bedroom set amp my amp has volume control but seems many believe that amp is better still not receiving source digital system direct so want to try a preamp between the marantz digital player and the amp (ideally tube (dont want to lose set amp sound signature) w... | |
| preamp recommendation for bedroom set amp I agree that linear tube audio seems like a good idea just did not know if it necessarily mated well with a set amp.....its on my short list ....just seeing if anyone has been down this road testing preamp with set amp.....the art preamp is far to... | |

If you are contemplating upgrading power supply maybe just upgrade to the chord qutest instead..I had a teddy pardo power supply and preferred original power supply albeit into a SR power conditioner......Upgraded power supply alters sound not nec... | |
| Recommend a dac that contributes to system for tight bass I adjusted my oppo transport by putting it on a solid base and using stillpoints and the bass is fine now....upgraded to lifeatec toslink from bluejean toslinkI still prefer the slightly warmer sound of the playback designs mps5 but it cost 5x as ... | |
| Chord Qutest + MScaler I briefly tried the mscaler on the qutest and while there was improvement its not worth additional 4k used......would not get tt2 either ....would recommend either go dave or stay qutest | |
| Recommend a dac that contributes to system for tight bass I appreciate everybody two cents but as I mentioned I primarily listen to vinyl on this second system and it is fantastic so ain't gonna change speaker position or room acoustics or amp or preamp or speakers.....only thing open to is finding right... | |

| Recommend a dac that contributes to system for tight bass thanks the tt2 was too revealing imho....I hear the dave is even ruthlessly revealing.....my favorite cd player are a touch warm like the playback design mps-5 so maybe that is where I need to settle on....for this system | |
| Recommend a dac that contributes to system for tight bass so do you like the pontus ii more than your electrocompaniet or are they just different? how different?the reviews of the venus seem to suggest its as good as the tt2 (which I have and sold) so still not sure about denafrips and well the terminato... | |
