| Which complete set of cables to try out? @habermas I for one am looking forward to your take on the Zavfino loom. | |
| If you’ve heard an iFi Zen stream, anything better under $1k? I was in position to purchase the Zen Stream after considering the New Node. I have a good DAC. Based on this thread I believe I will also monitor the progress with the Zen. Thanks to the OP and all. | |
| Will a new Dac improve the sound? Another suggestion for the purchase of a MHDT DAC. Excellent products that fit into your budget. Start with the use of your CD player as a transport. Then consider transport upgrade. Opportunity to experience benefits of each upgrade and consider... | |
| Cambridge Audio axa35 integrated amplifier ? As an after thought, it is best to keep digital components separate from amplification when possible. Each having their own power supply. Given you have a DAC I would choose between the Cambridge or the Onkyo. They have similar feature sets. The O... | |
| Cambridge Audio axa35 integrated amplifier ? Well, you want some 'warmth' and don't need a phonostage or a DAC. Maybe find a used NAD 326BEE. I've been a fan of NAD class A/B integrateds. Have owned the 326 and 356 BEEs in recent years. I must say the Cambridge AXA35 seems a strong contend... | |
| What made you change to a 6SN7 preamp? +1 bigkidz regarding the 6SN7. I once own a Carver cd player that had the 6DJ8 tubes in analog output stage. Loved the sound of it, was as good to my ears as many more expensive players in the 90s. | |

| Power Amp Question I once owned the NAD C256BEE. Regarding needing a more powerful amp I have two questions. What is your room size and at what position is the volume knob when listening at loudest levels. In my experience when volume knob for this amp is at the 12:... | |
| Do you trust your system? When a particular recording sounds off I blame it on the recording. I have a far greater number that sound wonderful. One must have trust in the system as it interacts with the room. I feel I have that. Primary faults for me are those that are t... | |
| Budget DAC recommendation for Office system Might take grinnell up on his offer to sell the MyDac. I own one I bought used to pair with a headphone amp. Has optical, coax and USB input. The Schiit Modi3 is also a worthy budget DAC having the same inputs as the MyDac. . I own the Modi2 whi... | |
| What was the most impactful addition to your system? @winoguy17 What are your speakers and what floor type? | |
| Audio nonsense Regarding the dots maybe in time one at each junction. | |
| Overpowering my speakers +1 @mulveling If you find you have no problem with noise, L-R balance due to over use of attenuation then the additional power need not be a problem. |
