| Need a big favor picking a preamp One of the seemingly best preamps is the Gryphon Audio Commander - Stereophile review here, TAS review here If budget wasn’t a concern, the Gryphon Commanded+APEX combo would be my end game choice. | |
| can subwoofers make things worse? I've already accepted that I have to budget for 2 subwoofers of high articulation. But beyond 2 subs, seems the improvements is not worth the additional cost. How much improvement can one expect for each additional sub added? | |

| My speaker upgrade journey - and a few questions …bargain/cheap/value oriented audiophile… @jcs01 Better speakers often use more expensive parts and costlier construction. Even buying used would only drive the price down to a certain point. Often, high-end components have a similar sonic ... | |

| MoFi lawsuit @dwette A statement is not automatically false without backup, or is this logic over your head? | |
| MoFi lawsuit @dwette after the MoFi debacle, I read it somewhere awhile ago possibly from MoFi’s rebuttal statement. I’m too lazy the dig into the process for your satisfaction. It’s enough for me that MoFi sold me a superior sonic product which is my main int... | |
| Phono Preamp suggestions between either Gold Note PH-10 or Whest TWO.2 @relayer101 I know the Gold Note has many positive reviews, don’t know about Weiss. Parasound JC3+ or PS Audio Stellar Phono are excellent buys near your price point. Plenty of very positive reviews. | |

Your open... | |
| Recommendation for speaker cable to use with Magico speakers Budget? Silversmith Fidelium got a lot of Agoners positive reviews awhile ago | |
| Speakers - Your "Safest" Choice Seems like the OP is asking for the “safest” choice, although buying a speaker without a demo is usually considered a poor decision as speaker preferences are highly subjective. Also, at 125wpc it can’t be very inefficient. Maybe the Joseph Audio... |
