| Does Age Matter? 79 and prefer CDs and streaming. Can't stand the surface noise on vinyl. | |
| Does Anyone Think CD is Better Than Vinyl/Analog? CDs every time - no clicks, no plops. However SACD is best of all. | |
| Speaker upgrade for classical music The biggest Maggies or MLs you can afford or your room can take, plus maybe a couple of good subs. | |
| Recommendation for a replacement speaker cable +1 for Morrow SP4 | |
| Small Footprint (compact) amp to power speakers? 2nd Belle Canto | |
| Best DAC R2R dacs are great but with a quality tube pre like the ARC you might have difficulty hearing a difference unless you spend really big bucks. I had that experience with Denafrips Pontus and other highly rated R2R dacs I tried and eventually settle... | |

| Tubed Preamp recommendations? Van Alstine, Modwright, Belles or DeHavilland. Maybe need to go 2nd hand to keep within your price range. | |
| review my list please List is fine but the weak link is definitely the Sonus. The Bluesound node 2i would be an improvement but it is still entry level and a better streamer/dac would be well worth the extra expense. There have been plenty of posts to look at re stream... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Audio Mirror/ pick one for me please I tried the Orchid and Pagoda and a few other well reviewed DACs but found that none of the R2R DACs really had any effect on my near all tube system, which includes an Exemplar 3890 Denon CD player. I didn't try the Audio Mirror, as it wasn't pos... | |
| Can anyone recommend a good streamer/DAC? I had the CXN and while the SQ was very good the controlling software via the app was useless, particularly if you listen to classical music. |
