| How competitive are you with your system? @rvpiano My system beautifully decodes the truly magnificent recording of Mahler’s Second Symphony by G. Kaplan I have previously referred, reproducing a live performance with an immersive sound field in my listening space. At the same time, it r... | |
| How competitive are you with your system? My system challenges me to a fight every time i turn it on. Are you gladiator? Who are you going to fight with? Why do you wish to pick up the fight? It’s interesting that the majority of the many people answering the question claim they are ... | |
| Best way to spend my money Not only is it affordable, but the Mogami like 2534 quad XLR cable (w/ Neutrik connector) is also one of the lowest-capacitance XLR cables available on the market. Very dependable and sound good. | |

| How competitive are you with your system? @goodlistening64 Thanks for the nudge. I’m not sure I’ve got the same passion for golfing anymore, but maybe I’ll give it another shot. I’d have to dust off the clubs and see if my swing still works! I've had the Lintons set up that way in my ... | |

| Which amp with Wilson watt puppy 8 ... blowing drivers at a certain amount of volume is normal. The magic word is "at a certain amount of volume." Your SF Cremona could handle power up to 300w w/o clipping and is a nominal 4-ohm speaker with a factory-rated sensitivity of 90dB/... | |
| New vs uses in your current setup Mine is 76% new. You should ask for the composition in terms of price. | |
| Topping D90 III Discrete vs Audio Alchemy DDP-1 + PS 5, which I love It is a wonderful DAC. I like it. But Harmony uDAC surpasses it once fully broken in. Go small or go home! | |

| What is your audio axiom? If it sounds good, it’s good music. ~ Duke Ellington | |
