| Dac+Amp recommendation for streaming-only system You are going to need to replace the amp or the speakers to resolve the issue with the volume control steps being too big (too soft to WAY too loud) in one step. Otherwise you are going to need to find a way to attenuate ALL of your sources. If th... | |
| Dac+Amp recommendation for streaming-only system @kosmonautti - Regarding the "too low, way too loud" description of the Plinius: This is probably due to the very high efficiency of the Zu speakers. At 101db off. those speakers will play very loud with very little power, so a single step of the ... | |

| RIP Charles Bradley This is very sad news. He was scheduled to play here in Cincinnati at Memorial Hall this past Friday - Sept 22nd. We got word a couple of weeks ago that the show was cancelled due to illness. I'm really sad to hear that Charles succumbed to the il... | |
| Are the folks at Vandersteen ok? @slaw - yep, I took a bit of a chance, knowing the speakers had some damage. But I spent a little time doing some diagnosis, re-glued a woofer surround on one speaker and got the tweeter repaired on the other. Of course, removing and re-installing... | |

| adding a stereo amp and pre- amp to an existing home theater set up Hey man,I've done this several times over the years. I call it a 2-channel/HT combo system. To do this you will need an HT receiver that has pre-outs, at least for the L&R front speakers. Basically, you run RCA interconnect cables from the pre... | |

| "Best" mini-monitor? Two of the better small monitors I've ever hear were the Ridge Street Audio Sasons and the JM Labs Focal Micro Utopia BE. Heard them both in the same system, driven by a vintage 100 W/channel ARC tube amp. Very good stuff. The Sasons are exceeding... | |
