| Electrolytic vs poly Thanks. The reason for my post is recently I have undertaken a recap on a couple of sets of Technics sb 6000 and 7000 and they both have multiple 68uf caps in the high and midrange circuits. Cost wise it doesn't make sense to use anything other th... | |

| Looking for a ‘’No braine’r Integrated amplifier under 7500 or so Is that Node not an entry level streamer? If it is, I would spend some of that $7500 on a better streamer. 2k more on a quality streamer, Lumin comes to mind, there are several others, will be a much bigger improvement than the 2k more you would s... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? So really a windows laptop as the source running to a dac should sound no different than a streamer as the source running to the same dac.Is that correct? | |
| Speaker upgrade for classical music I am in the 2 system camp as well. With A highly efficient speaker you will need very little tube power. I recommend starting over for the 2 Chanel system. Audio Note AN J speakers. You will save $4000. Then spend the rest on a nice Audio Note int... | |
| Whats your favourite track to play to the non hi-fi visitor? BB King, Eric Clapton Riding with the King CD. several songs on there. Heart. Crazy on you. The intro is awsome. Turn it up. Just a guitar then it hits real hard with the bass. | |

| Best CD player under $2000 The Sony 608esd is a very good choice. I had someone that really wanted to buy mine once before I had even heard it. So I plugged it in and compared it to a $2500 streamer / player hooked to a $5000.00 dac. First I ripped the cd to a flac file to... | |
| System not playing higher resolution flac files I used foobar20000 on my laptop to a prodigy converter to the DAC. The DAC does not have a usb input only the rca coaxial.So what I am hearing is there is nothing I can do about. The DAC won't play them. Period.Is that right? | |
| Short speaker wire and long inter connects or reverse I don't have a dedicated circuit that I know of. But I will see if can make it work. I have an electrician in the family so it shouldn't be that big a deal. From what I am reading it sounds like the power is as important as the rca/speaker cables.... | |
| Short speaker wire and long inter connects or reverse 15’ if I use short speaker wire. My monoblocks are quite large. It would be nice to get them next to or at least in the middle of the speakers. The goal is get my Cabinet out from the middle of the speakers. | |
