| Can a DAC do double duty? Yup. That’s it. | |
| DAC/Streamer/PreAmp As you asked offline about the Backert Rhumba Extreme and ARC preamps I’ll share this review that compares the Rhumba vs. the ARC LS17SE, which was priced $2k less at the time but just as an indication of the different sound characteristics… http... | |
| Floorstanding speaker experiences/recommendations in the $12-25k range Really need to know what improvements (besides bass) you’re looking for and what sound characteristics are most important to you. Also, how big is your room and are you looking for new or used. Love your amp BTW. Thanks for any further info. | |
| AARP article on streaming hirez audio Yeah, touting hi-res audio and then recommending that you can play it through a $299 streaming speaker and appreciate the difference is pretty silly, but it’s AARP so not really surprising. Hope a lotta their elderly subscribers didn’t shell out ... | |
| "Happy To Be Stuck With You!!!" Not really sure what the point of this was, but it’s like the third or fourth time you’ve posted to tout your Revels so I think we got it by now. Glad you love your wonderful speakers, and by all means enjoy! | |
| Noise coming from subwoofers and centre channel I only use a powerbar...I am happy to have made the discovery but I do not want to put my system and our security at risk....with the cheater plug... But, your entire system already is at risk as you’ve got no surge protection and there are man... | |

| Yes, cables do make a difference -- regardless of price... I also hear differences in cables, and I only have one instance where try as I might I could discern no difference between two cables. Specifically it was between the Acoustic Zen Satori and the Audience AU24 speaker cables, and this was the only ... | |
| Can a DAC do double duty? Even though I would have only used one output at a time, Vinshine confirmed what the manual said about not connecting both outputs at once. @burtlake Great and important info, and thanks for sharing — I was actually wondering about exactly that... | |
| Transport Recommendations TMR wants $2044 when shipping costs are included and a 3-month warranty versus buying a brand new one with a 12-month warranty for $2498. I don't know about you, but I am willing to shell out the extra $454 for a brand-new unit with better warra... | |
| Looking for 200 watt Amp to drive Dynaudio Heritage speakers To those recommending integrated amps, note the OP has an excellent LTA MicroZOTL preamp in his system so pretty sure he’s just looking for a power amp. | |
| Noise coming from subwoofers and centre channel One thought — you didn’t mention if you’re using a power conditioner/surge protector, which I would hope you are given the cost of your system. If so obviously the conditioner would be plugged into the wall with a 3-prong plug so wondering if the... | |
| Shunyata Venom RCA vs Bluesound Node 2i stock rca I’d like to optimize what I have for now in a way that would be applicable for the future. Even if it’s one step at a time getting the best price whether it’s used or new without being frivolous. Got it. Ok, if it was me I’d focus on choosing n... | |
| Acoustic Zen Sartori - my experience @tooblue I’ve been using Satori shotgun bi-wire cables for many years and really love them but have always wondered what more the Holograms might offer. Can you go into more detail on the differences between the two? Thanks much for any thoughts... | |
| Shunyata Venom RCA vs Bluesound Node 2i stock rca What would you recommend replacing my AVR with? Also, which LPS and ethernet cable would you recommend? Well, these are huge questions, and it really all boils down to what improvements you’d like and what sound characteristics are most importa... |
