| help choosing cable pc to dac. Perhaps you can use a usb to Spdif converter and run a single length of RCA. I used the Musical Fidelity V-Link to this end a while back. This way you still get USB out, which can be a benefit, and run a good signal through the lone RCA. | |

| Strange Loud Popping Sounds I wonder if you are overloading your integrated amp with a over-gained phono signal.i have the Lyra Delos, and I have a Whest ps.30r phono preamp with variable gain. When I use it at 60db gain, I have no issues. When I use it at 65db gain, it over... | |
| Outside the box That system strikes me as unexpected and crazy! Would love to hear it. Perhaps a roving audiogon cocktail listening party event ought to be created! If only we all lived in the same city! Be be careful with those SPL's... You don't want to lose... | |

| Wilson Audio Sophia 2 or Goldenear Triton 1 I'm using an Audio Research VT100mkII & LS25mkI for the Sophia 2's. They drive them well, with plenty of great definition bass, but I think a bit more power would not be a bad thing. I do need to turn the volume up quite a bit (3 o'clock on ... | |
| Wilson Audio Sophia 2 or Goldenear Triton 1 I just read a little on the goldenear, to see what it is all about. It seems it has a strong relationship with Definitive Technology's Mythos series. If this is the case, I will strengthen my previous comment and say, get the Wilson, hands down... | |
| Wilson Audio Sophia 2 or Goldenear Triton 1 Just got my first Wilsons, the Sophia 2. They are phenomenal. I just got the placement in my room dialed in this weekend. I've been playing jazz, rock, blues, classical, you name it, and the sound is just wonderful. I can't speak about Tritons... | |

So that's one reason. The other reason is, by integrating an amplifier, The manufacturer can control The final product bett... | |
| Toslink VS coax VS other forms of Digital transfer I love Sonos, but not for HiFi. I have a couple of Sonos products in my home and I use them for in-ceiling speakers, outdoor, and other locations where music is just for background.As for streaming Tidal to a DAC, I recommend doing that with a de... | |
| Help with speaker placement in my real life room Tboooe, very interesting. I was debating the theory of the perfect equilateral triangle as a starting point, versus the potential advantages of being far further from the side walls, as in the Cardas method. I can go full equilateral, but my sp... | |
