| Audioquest Water interconnects I absolutely love AQ HC power cables. Putting a AQ HC power cable on your Krell will be a game changer (1m is fine, if you can get it to work). It will also give you a bigger bang than ICs, get them later. I know they are expensive but buy used a... | |
| reliable DDC @mitch2 You're missing out on a lot if you're limiting yourself to SPDIF. What front end and DAC do you have? | |
| Is toeing speakers a bad idea? @emergingsoul This is an oldish thread and I hope you have toed in your speakers or otherwise to your satisfaction by now. My room is rectangular with a cathedral ceiling. Looking at the speakers I have alcoves. a display cabinet and a bookcase... | |
| Cable Quest My favourite interconnects have been Rick Shultz's XLR cables in one form or another. I've used them for over 15 years and nothing I've tried has beaten them. | |
| ATC SCM150 Amp and Preamp recommendations I don't see how the active version could sound better because a passive setup will ultimately cost about twice the price of an active setup. Rest assured the OP's dealer would have encouraged him to buy the active version just as my dealer did. I... | |
| Keep Acoustic Zen or move on? Audience's new range is the Front Row Reserve so there are a lot of older used Audience cables on the market. Whether that's a good or bad thing is up to you. | |

| Need Help Burning DSD64 files to DVD+R Get yourself a proper streamer/HD player like an Aurender and rip your SACDs using an OPPO 103 or 105 or better. The sound quality is in a different league. | |
| ATC SCM150 Amp and Preamp recommendations @ei001h Well said, it's far from an easy decision and you may need to choose several times before you get it right, but you made an excellent choice with your speakers. Enjoy your journey. | |
| ATC SCM150 Amp and Preamp recommendations @ei001h Ok, preamps I have the Viola Sonata and the SMC VRE-1. Steve McCormack continuously updates his gear and I need to get the VRE-1 updated/upgraded but they are both very special pre-amps. I would like to own a Spectral pre-amp too, they a... | |
| DAC 'Scam' Vid Unfortunately some people really can't hear differences in cables, DACs and especially power amplifiers. If you can good luck to you! Everything else is clickbait. | |
| Eversolo dmp A6 - xlr connection There is usually a selector switch to switch between RCA and XLR but I don't see one on either product. Maybe there is one in your Eversolo settings? | |
| ATC SCM150 Amp and Preamp recommendations @kofibaffour Hi, The OP has the SCM 150s which has a 15" woofer. I have the SCM 100s which have a 12" woofer. My speakers are angled 16" from the rear wall in an equilateral triangle 9x9x9' to my listening position. My free Google db app meas... | |
| ATC SCM150 Amp and Preamp recommendations @ei001h I have the SCM 100 Passive paired with my Viola Sonata Preamp and my Musical Fidelity Titan 1000w per channel power amp. The ATC’s are like a black hole for power, that’s why I bought them. As their advertising suggests you need 1000-15... | |
