Your greatest high end audio purchase!!! Easy one for me. I purchased a used PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC for an extremely reasonable price. Ok it was a steal. Everything was fine until I would stream songs in different formats (flac, then dsd, then aiff). Each time it switched formats ther... | |
Preamp for First Watt F7 For an affordable but excellent passive pre try one from Luminous Audio. They customize to your system. I recommend the Walker mods. Very transparent. https://luminousaudio.com/collections/axiom-ii-passive-preamp https://parttimeaudiophile... | |
SVS or REVEL Subwoofer Room size does not have to limit number of subs (sonically) unless you literally have no room. My 4 SVS subs measure roughly 14" on every side. They're small, but the combined 4 allows them to be individually quick but collectively powerful. Not o... | |
SVS or REVEL Subwoofer I've never used REL but I had one SVS SB12-NSD (now discontinued) that was fine. But then I started searching for other gently used ones after reading about the benefits of a sub swarm. Now I have 4 of them and the bass is spectacular. | |

The best speaker cables you’ve had Audio Art AAC SC-5 ePlus Cryo. It's not an expensive cable but after it settled in (and it was all over the place while that happened) it's been a fantastic upgrade. | |

After Nordost Superflatline @milpai Thank you for your feedback and suggestions. | |
After Nordost Superflatline @jjss49 I suppose that is possible as well. | |
After Nordost Superflatline @akg_ca That's great feedback. Thank you for sharing that information. It's a shame because the upper-mids and highs are so nice now. I'm actually considering bi-wiring them with the old cables to see if it can retain the upper beauty but regain t... | |
Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll You'll have to pry my Pass XA 30.5 out of my cold dead hands. I live in New England and this time of year I'm grateful for the heating bonus to go along with the spectacular sound. | |
I seem to have hit the jackpot here Nice find. Listening now. | |
What is the forums opinion of SVS subs? @lemonhaze I have limited space and that model is pretty compact so when two were available for $400 total I couldn't pass it up. I was under the impression matching subs was preferred so good to know that's not always the case as good deals on th... |
