| Footers under new speakers I'm using the oem spikes which sit on isolation discs. Basically, two machined discs with carbon ball bearings between them. My floor is carpet on concrete. I would guess that the discs prevent a lot of bass from going into the floor. | |
| Best RCA Digicable @soix Acoustic Zen MC2. Read the reviews. I own it. +1 | |
| Just about to pull the trigger on Pontus 15th ... @lanx0003 yeah, it is the R30. I'm very happy with the X30. I like it a lot more than the R26 that I had. I'm sure the new R30 is also notably better than the R26. | |
| Just about to pull the trigger on Pontus 15th ... @lanx0003 it's been reported that Gustard is coming out with a new r2r dac. Somebody wrote that it would replace the X30, but that seems odd. I'm happy with my setup, so I haven't investigated it. | |

| Tube Amp for Coda 8 Part 2 @zlone Good point on the cables. Vacuum tubes also make a big difference in a preamp like mine. Put the wrong tubes in it and the performance is nowhere near its' potential. | |
| Tube Amp for Coda 8 Part 2 @kds my immediate thought was that a tube preamp would sound better, but you have a really nice dac, so I don't know. I'm using a Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL preamp (level 2) with a Coda 8 amp. It's much better than using my dac as a volume cont... | |
| Tube Amp for Coda 8 Part 2 Have you tried it? | |
| Tube Amp for Coda 8 Part 2 What do you have for a dac? | |
| reliable DDC I have not read of major quality issues with Gustard. I have a Gustard U18 and I'm on my second Gustard dac (I upgraded, the first one had no issues). | |
