| Class D Amplifier(s) for SWARM Subwoofer System I dunno, if the designer recommends two Dayton amps I’d be hard pressed to go another way and really liked Duke’s explanation of the benefits of phase adjustment — thanks for sharing that. I understand all situations are different though. | |
| Cardas Clear or Straight Wire Crescendo III Balanced Interconnects . I’d put these AZ Silver Refs on your list. Read the reviews, and if they don’t work out you can just sell them for little/no loss. I’ve been using these in my system for years and they ain’t going nowhere — wonderful combination of natural detai... | |
| One receiver for both ht and 2 channel (diff speakers) Yeah, try HT with your 2-channel speakers and see how it works. Also, adding a good stereo integrated amp as @carlsbad2 mentioned above will up your 2-channel performance. If you’re not willing to incorporate a stereo amp I’d recommend an Anthem... | |
| I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming Yeah, as @fastfreight mentioned you’re probably better off trying a good switch between your router and system and not deal with cable modem issues/support — who needs that potential hot mess? Also agree with others who mentioned using Mesh or a ... | |
| Anyone have experience with Gershman Avant Garde vs Studio II speakers??? I’ve heard both but in different rooms/times so I can’t reliably say anything, but I’d have to think the AGs would be an improvement. I’d buy a used pair of AGs, and if they don’t work out you can sell them likely for little loss. That’d be the... | |
| Help With New Preamp Decision I think he was comparing the MicroZOTL to the Rhumba 1.1, but that was several years ago. I’d imagine the Rhumba Extreme is quite a bit more expensive, no? I think he may have moved on to another pre from Aric or something. | |
| Help With New Preamp Decision Keep it in the back of your mind that you can do an in-home trial of the LTA MicroZOTL. Terry London slightly preferred it to the Rhumba so that could be interesting. Looking forward to your thoughts. | |
| Started with $1k speakers … what now? @jl35 Got it. Out of curiosity and as I’ve very unfortunately never heard either, what were the material differences between them and what models did you compare? To drill right down to it, what ultimately pushed you toward Salk over Fritz? Tha... | |

| Started with $1k speakers … what now? For me, Andrew Jones new $3700 and $3000 speakers are way better than his or the OP’s $1000 speaker...and Salk definitely over the Fritz @jl35 I hold both speakers in high regard, but that’s a pretty definitive statement. Have you compared Salk... | |
| Cary vs Raven You might consider just adding a couple subs to the Carbons — might be the best of all worlds. Klipsch is very different from Totems or Fritz, but maybe you’re after different? | |
| Favorite Obscure Rock Song I know I have some, but they’re so obscure I can’t find them. | |
| Cream — Stormy Monday To me, the blues has to be bitter and heartfelt. @whart I respectfully disagree with this. While the blues started out as a way to express anguish and suffering in the southern United States and can certainly still reflect that, it has morphed... | |
| Started with $1k speakers … what now? These Joseph Audio Pulsars will propel you to another level entirely on every level. I’m recommending them for multiple reasons, the biggest being their overall sound quality, but there’s more. Because you’re struggling coming up with specifics th... | |
| Started with $1k speakers … what now? I suppose my real concern is if going from $1k to $3-$5k is a reasonable step up for someone with not a lot of experience in the hobby. Absolutely! That’s a very big step up in potential sound quality as you’re still far from the point of dimi... |
