Speaker upgrade for Primaluna EVO 300 - Looking to find some audio nirvana bliss!
@pkatsuleas Well, for $200 shipping they could be in Chicago. 🤔😜

I’d actually suggest selling the Rotel and the sub a just starting from scratch.  Buying a better amp and two smaller sealed subs, even if that means spending a little less on speakers, will yield you much better and more balanced overall sound. F... 
AES/EBU cable shootout
Very nice and helpful review.  Thanks!  
Acoustic Zen Matrix reference II IC
Make sure you have at least 100 hours on them before making any firm conclusions.  I also had success using the Silver Ref between source and pre and Matrix Ref between pre and amp if you’re running separates.

Really depends on what improvements you’re looking for and what sound characteristics are most important to you.  Making speaker recommendations before knowing these things is nothing more than a random crapshoot and you’ll just get a lot of what ... 
Giving in to my weaknesses
What are you using now, what improvements are you looking for, and what sound characteristics are most important to you?  What’s the rest of the equipment in your system?  Is your priority 2-channel or HT?  What is your ballpark price range?  You ... 
Feel like I'm outta my mind....
I’d go for these highly-regarded Monitor Audio Silver 300 7G towers and a pair of SVS SB1000 Pro subs that at only 13” square will still get you down to an honest 20Hz (-3dB), includes very helpful integration software and offer a 45 day, risk-fre... 
Feedback QLN Prestige Three Speakers Requested
How am I supposed to get anything done with this damn sound system in my house. A high-quality problem fer sure, but I’m sure you’ll figure it out.  Congrats!  
Accurate and revealing subwoofer
Personally I’d love to compare the Rhythmic F12 vs. the D110 at this price level, but that may be impossible and not even sure if Rhythmik is sold in Europe, so there’s that. Short of that another D110 seems like a no brainer if you like what you’... 
Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods?
From what I read Rockport really put a lot of work into the cabinet, and my guess is a lot of the speaker’s cost lies there.  That said, it’s a competitive market even at this level and Rockport will find out rather quickly if they overpriced it. ... 
Speaker upgrade for Primaluna EVO 300 - Looking to find some audio nirvana bliss!
I posted this earlier that got removed and I can’t begin to understand why as it violates none of their guidelines.  Oh well, here goes again…DeVore would be good speakers to explore as they’re natural and slightly warm sounding and are easy to dr... 
ATC SCM19 V2 Recommendations.
I would try these.  A set of 8 from Amazon will only set you back $54, and 4 of them will support a weight up to 119 lbs so should be fine for your purposes.  They’re even adjustable by simply removing or adding springs (apparently the springs sho... 
Adding a Dac and Stresmer
@tom2441 Nice!!!  Did you notice a big upgrade adding the LPS?  I know it’s a big upgrade for the Zen Mini but you’re the first I’ve heard who’s added one to the Pulse Mini so very curious about your impressions.  Careful with the Pontus upgrade —... 
My Oppo 105 finally bricked. Streamer suggestions?
They do say on their site that they would continue to support their products, so mad kudos to them. I heard that too, which is why I even bothered to try to contact them.  I was still very pleasantly surprised when I got a thorough and accurate... 
My Oppo 105 finally bricked. Streamer suggestions?
A year or so ago I had a question regarding my very old 103, that’s still working BTW, and I was shocked that Oppo was still providing support on these products.  I’m not sure but I think I contacted them through their Oppo India site and pretty p...
