| New Streamer, DAC or Let it Be OP, I’m running a Hegel Pre into Sopra no2 speakers. My streamer is the Node with an external LPS. The streamer is my weakest link but I don’t think that’s the case in your system. I think you want to upgrade your Pre. You really don’t want to cha... | |
| New Streamer, DAC or Let it Be Your Focal speakers are excellent. As others have mentioned, the weak link is your Pre, everything (including future upgrades) will be bottlenecked. A better/external Pre will be the best place to spend money. | |
| Sonus Faber Sonetto V’s Thoughts Requested I hate to pivot the thread like this but I think it will get you where you really want to land. When making a move to upgrade, make a significant move up, not just an incremental one. The incremental moves often lead to disappointment. I would ... | |
| Room Treatment suppliers I used Vicaoustics and am very pleased with the results. OP, if you're interested, DM me and I'll send some pics. Good luck and cheers. | |
| Confused with size of speaker to get when placed along long wall in large room There are some very good recommendations already made here. At your preferred listening levels it will be very hard for any pair of floorstanders to get you a smooth response and not sound thin. I would strongly consider adding a pair of subwoof... | |

| Sharing a subwoofer between a Stereo and HT combination. Until you have more room to work with...what about a great sounding pair of headphones? Fidelity wise this might be your best band for the buck. | |
| Hegel comparison Both are great amps. I've spent quite a bit of time with both and also the new 600. The 590 will drive the bass harder and tighter but the 590 has a small dip in the midrange which makes the 390 sound "warmer" side by side. I think it's the DAC... | |
| Newer Blues Artists or Recordings Take a listen to band Blackberry Smoke. Guitarist Charlie Starr plays quite a bit with Warren Haynes. This should be right in your wheelhouse. | |

| Is more amp power always better...? I know this is frustrating but I've found that the manufacture's stated WPC has very little to do with true, usable power output. One really has to do a deeper dive and either listen in person or get information from a trusted source like an info... | |
