| Speaker Cable Recommendations - Under 2k I ask again, what improvements and sound characteristics are you looking for? Otherwise you’ll just keep getting recommendations that other people like, which may have nothing to do with what you like. | |
| Denafrips Pontus 12th Anniversary IME there was no downside to using i2S, only big upside. No loss of tonality, etc., just a big increase in overall transparency and clarity. | |
| Sonic Frontiers SFL-2 vs Bryston BP 26 Apples and oranges. If you’re looking for a more tube sound go for the SF, but if you’re looking for a more neutral/detailed solid state sound the Bryston is excellent. | |
| PS Audio S300 amplifier- tube preamplifier recommendation Would be most helpful if you’d share what improvements and sound characteristics you’re looking for. | |
| Can monitors sit on a TV console instead of stands? They will sound better on stands — more space to breathe and more flexibility in placement. | |
| Qobuz Coming to Canada!!! Qobuz offers plenty of new artists and a lot more music in hi res without the need for Tidal’s MQA BS. Lots of people here (including me) have switched from Tidal to Qobuz and not looked back. There may be three people here who have switched fro... | |
| Denafrips Pontus 12th Anniversary Agree with @fthompson251 about the Hermes if it’s in the budget, or alternatively you could look at the Musician Leo that’s very similar but like $600 less expensive. Still, the Iris or Musician Pisces will still make big improvements if you don’t... | |

| Sensitivity 86 v 90 I’m concerned you’re already at 4-6 o’clock with your speakers. If possible I’d demo the speakers at home or bring the amp to the store if possible before buying. | |
| Denafrips Pontus 12th Anniversary would love to hear you detail what differences you notice using the Iris, in any detail you can afford. Background became much clearer, and imaging separation and soundstage improved. In general, clarity went up significantly and haze I didn’t... | |
| Speaker Cable Recommendations - Under 2k What improvements are you looking for, and what sound characteristics are most important to you? | |
| Denafrips Pontus 12th Anniversary So, I have a Musician Pegasus that shares a lot of DNA with the Pontus ll. I got a Denafrips Iris to be able to take advantage of the i2S input, and there was a vast improvement over using USB, and that was using a cheap 6” HDMI cable from Monopr... | |
| Help me pick a new pair of speakers Congrats! Add another SB1000 and you’ll be much better off than upgrading to one better sub. Not sure, but if you add an SB1000 Pro you might be able to use their integration app to dial both subs in. Maybe worth a call to SVS that has great cu... |
