| Upgrade Question Having lived with the Delta Sigma for such a long time, I am certainly open to trying R2R. I may go for a relatively inexpensive one, such as a Denafrips Ares II, just to give it a try and see what it’s all about. I wish I could borrow one, but th... | |

| Same Wiring of Speakers and Speaker Cables I would think there would be some synergy in having internal speaker wiring and speaker cable from the same manufacturer. In my case, I have JA Pulsars, which are wired internally with Cardas, and I use Cardas GR speaker cable. | |
| Upgrade Question @soix Good suggestion. Thanks. From an R2R perspective, that may mean something in the Denafrips lineup. | |

| Amps for Joseph Audio Pulsar 2's? I've got the JA Pulsars (v1) and have been using them to great satisfaction with a BAT 225se. | |

I now tend to keep equipment for a very long time and have stopped looking for the latest and greatest. It’s worke... | |

| Good entry level cables Another vote for Audio Envy. I replaced my much more expensive Cardas Golden Reference with them, and the sound with the AE's is far superior to my ears and in my system. I think that AE has a 45 day money back guarantee, so you have nothing to lo... | |
