| Should I got full tubes or stick with hybrid amps? I would think that 60wpc would be enough with 88dB speakers in that size room unless speakers are difficult to drive impedance wise. | |
| Kimber 4tc good enough? The Canare 4S11 is a great inexpensive cable. ~$1.50/ft. | |
| Accept free Audiophilleo 1 and upgrade DAC? The MHDT DACs are good buys. The Audiophilleo is a great USB/Spdif converter. Pure Power makes an improvement. | |
| Should I got full tubes or stick with hybrid amps? Well at a budget of $2000, stick to an integrated amplifier. I doubt the Yamaha 801 is an upgrade to the Jolida, just different and likely not less harsh ( I own the Yamaha 701). With a budget of $2000 a true up grade can be found. As mentioned by... | |
| Opinions on the SimAudio Moon 260D CD player/transport? Thanks facten. I am currently using the Cambridge CXC and looking to replace it. Can use the CXC in a second system. | |
| Accept free Audiophilleo 1 and upgrade DAC? I once ran the Audiophilleo w PP into a Bryston BDA-1. The BDA-1 is a very good DAC and can be found used for ~$700. That is the advantage to having the USB/SPDIF converter. You can look for an older DAC( from around 2010) which are great with exc... | |
| Need to replace my Rotel RMB-1095 . suggestions pls Sorry to hear of your problem. Would it be possible to purchase a 2 channel amplifier and use the Rotel for the center and surround speakers adjusting output levels from the A/V preamp? | |
| DAC's Made in the USA I own the AM. Was hesitant to suggest due to being at budget extreme. A great DAC which made a significant improvement in my system. | |
| Opinions on the SimAudio Moon 260D CD player/transport? I am interested in the transport version of the 260 for use with my Audio Mirror DAC. Any thoughts? | |

| I bought some Owens Corning 703. Now what? The use of your panels on front wall behind speakers and possibly between and at reflection points on ceiling and floor between speakers and listening position are great places to start. You might consider framing your panels with 1" x 2" pine. ... | |
| Near field monitor advice please Might look into the Tannoy Autograph Mini speaker. Beautiful and sound that way. | |
| Recommendation for a replacement speaker cable @simao Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the Maple Shade/Canare comparison. I am using Kimber 8tc, also have Canare 4S11, and Audioquest Rocket 33s. Recently purchased Tannoy Sterling speakers. Once I get really familiar with them using... | |
| What made you put together your first 2nd system? My secondary system was developed for use outside on the deck. I enjoy country living and listening to music on a relaxing afternoon (retired). It is kept indoors and placed out for sessions.The family room system serves primarily to augment TV vi... | |
| Any advantage having a 3V Dac output? Even with a passive pre 3V may not be needed, it depends on the input sensitivity of the amplifier. With an active pre, 3V can often be too much. |
