| Inexpensive speaker cables: any experience? +1 @jjss49 If wanting to invest time and money into cables start with those closest to the source. Most true with vinyl. Also enjoyed the 'casual lunch' discussion. Two aspects come to mind, profit margin and cliental discretionary income for h... | |
| DACs and more. Is there a good analog sounding DAC. I agree that power conditioning for digital components and keeping the power to digital power supplies separate from the analog ones in a system is a benefit towards good sounding digital. Regardless of budget. | |
| $1000 (used ok) Streamer Dac recommendation please Lacking a DAC the latest Bluesound would be a good way to go. Put the remaining $4-500 into DAC piggybank for a future upgrade. Another option would be to purchase the ifi Zen streamer for $400 and purchase a used DAC. There are many that come ... | |

| Tannoy anyone? Cheviot Legacy vs. Stirling GR As an afterthought, I have had my Sterlings for ~18 months. to listening sessions due to temporal constraints I likely have somewhat less than2 00 hours on them. I wonder about the breakin period. | |
| Tannoy anyone? Cheviot Legacy vs. Stirling GR @mulveling As an owner of the Sterlings I appreciate your information regarding the internal wiring.

I view it as a wonderful opportunity to explore my personal preferences. Other than the fact that the output tap used will likely be ... | |
| BAT VK3ix an upgrade from Freya +? Yes the BAT may be somewhat warmer than the Freya. Many would prefer that. I have heard BAT amplification and enjoyed the experience. The Freya is very good at it's price point, however as aforementioned the BAT is built to a higher standard. BA... | |
| B&K EX 4420 vs B&K EX 4420 reference I once owned the B&K ST140. Purchased in 1985. Around 2010 before B&K went out of business I call then about a check up and possible refurbish. They said that it would need new output boards as the trannys were no longer available. I trul... | |
| Thoughts on the iFi Zen Streamer @bkeske @fuzztone Thanks for your comments. Just the info I was looking for. I believe I will be just fine with the basic aspect to the app. Will just be getting into streaming. If that becomes a major music access I will likely one day move the... | |
| Question about Class A Congrats on your purchase! Please let us know your thoughts after comparison to your Vincent. I am thinking you are going to be very happy. I had forgotten your were using an external DAC when making my last post. | |
| Thoughts on the iFi Zen Streamer @fuzztone Thanks for the quick response. Exactly what i was thinking, I already have a couple of DACs and the price seems right for getting familiar with a streaming service. I am now trying out Qobuz using my computer. Good to hear your opinion o... | |
