Cable Quest
@soix well I have tried these very expensive stuff from acquaintances and friends and I had to do it blind just to remove the visual bias stimuli and nopes didn't hear anything so for me specifically overly expensive cables are wasted on me. Also ... 
Help me choose a phono pre
@dcp20124 lol you shouldn't be confused the Fosi is pretty awesome. If you've got that, no need to worry then. You're set  
Cable Quest
Mogsmi bulk cable 100ft at 14 AWG which I cut into my desired lengths and then terminated with some gearit right angled banana plugs. Don't need anything ridiculous for speaker cables  
What was the best “new to you” song/music/artist you heard at Axpona 2025?
AXPONA isn't a place to look for new music I'm afraid. Only room in AXPONA I've attended that had actual music and not some fart sounds last year was the MoFi Electronics room and the Lyngdorf room.   I assume it was the same this year with mayb... 
Problem with dac/ cd transport / streamer sound differences
I feel you should be happy you're not needing to continue spending for these supposed difference @antmou   I'm in the M Scaler is Bullshit camp. You've come around to noticing that too and are disappointed. That's normal but this shouldn't lead ...

ATC SCM150 Amp and Preamp recommendations
If we take ATC's documentation at face value. The efficiency of one SCM100 is listed as 91dB/1w@1m @ei Meaning if you were to listen 12ft away from the speaker and the speakers were 3ft away from the front wall, you'd get to 100dB peaks with a 10...

@eltabor good luck with everything and lol I wish I had a store. I'm just a home theatre freak and stereo freak so I have two systems. And was just trynna help you get what imo are the best components for their price points. So you end up with a c...

Help with possible integrated amp change for better match with my speakers.
no what that experience indicates to me is that the retailer's space isn't identical to yours so you're gonna hear different things. Why do we ascribe these changes to an amp when the actual culprit is the room? When will we start taking room spe... 
Need help with Roon, system output is not showing by Streamer/DAC
I'd say reach out to Roon Labs about this @hifinut51   
What is the best option of the two choices
@eltabor that actually reinforced my recommends. Klipsch are mediocre and Maggies are too narrow for home theatre.   I guess I wanted to recommend a setup that actually gives you value for your money without losing the tonal coherency    Don't...
