| Budget Audiophile system under 2k I disagree that an audiophile system can't be developed at this budget. It is all about the intent, the desire to get the the greatest sonic experience for the investment, which requires a learning curve and research. I would think that for most o... | |
| original cambridge cxc cd transport Maxboy00, I am glad to hear that the CXC is mating well with what I understand is a fine DAC. | |
| Low Cost DACs Check out Wireworld. I use the Chroma. I bought a 1 meter length for $30 new. A great cable for the money. I use mine with the Modi2. | |
| Best integrated tube amplifier, under $3,000.00. No phono needed. Could be used, too.d I am currently using a Pathos Classic Model One MKII in my system Speakers are 87dB. Room Is 12X15'. This integrated provides a very smooth presentation with drive. It is also has show case looks. The latest model is the MKIII which sells for $299... | |
| Another new DAC: Audio Mirror I will check into the Silnote cable when the time comes. | |
| Low Cost DACs Yes, for what the MyDAC goes for used it is hard to beat. Linear power supply, USB, optical, coax inputs. The Modi3 represents great value at it's cost new. That said, the use of a of a USB driven Modi2 which can be purchased used for~$50 would m... | |
| Budget speakers for near-wall positioning The B&W 685 work well close to wall. A used pair would be under your budget. | |
| Canare 4S11 I use the 4S11s in my secondary system. Bought bulk cable off Ebay and terminated myself. Ram Electronics looks like another good way to go. Makes for a good looking cable offering excellent performance for the price. | |

| Low Cost DACs I have a Schiit Modi2 and also purchased a used Micromega MyDac for $125. Either would make an improvement when playing from a computer. The Modi 2 can be found used for close to $50. That version has USB input only however may be all you need. I... | |
| Small room amp and speakers recommendation Check into the Pathos Classic Model One MK3. A wonderful looking and sounding hybrid amplifier. | |
| original cambridge cxc cd transport Right now the CXC is the least expensive transport available purchased new. Now can be found for around $300. I own one and am pleased with it's performance. | |
| Looking to Try a Passive Preamp Yes, the output impedance for the DAC seemed high to me. This is the information I received from Vlad at Audio Mirror. Also the output impedance for the SYS seems high. Is this so?As to input impedances, am I right that the input impedance 'seen' ... |
