| Where do you stop? I had a similar experience. Every time I added another silver interconnect things kept getting better — it was additive. I find the better silver cables are not bright — just clearer sounding with a bit less warmth than copper cables, but in the... | |
| My Home Theatre Room Challenges - Is It Worth It To Upgrade Speakers Sounds like a very good plan. I assume you mean the Premier 600C center speaker? That should be a huge and impactful upgrade as the center is so critical to good HT performance, and Paradigm makes excellent center speakers. Between that and add... | |
| Plinius SA103 or SB301 ? If you like Class A sound go for the 103 if 125Wpc is enough. If you're ok with Class A/B and need its 310Wpc then the 301 may be a better choice. Just based on sonics I’d go for the sweet sound of the 103, but that’s me. Hope this helps, and b... | |
| Whittling down my choices to a final few pair... Really need to know what sound characteristics are most important to you to make any meaningful recommendation, otherwise you’ll just get what we like. | |
| Integrated Amplifier for Bowers & Wilkins 702 S2 Really depends on what sound characteristics and improvements you’re looking for. | |
| Backert Labs Rhumba 1.3 vs Extreme Member Terry London reviewed both the Rhumba and the LTA MicroZOTL and slightly preferred the LTA. Just another option. I believe LTA gives a 14-day trial FWIW. Both are great and I don’t think you could go wrong with either, but the LTA also h... | |
| My Home Theatre Room Challenges - Is It Worth It To Upgrade Speakers I would love to make a big and impactful improvement in sound quality in this room. I am currently considering replacing my two front main speakers (Paradigm Bookshelf 2-way speakers with 6" drivers) with full-sized speakers. For this, I’d simp... | |
| Need help! First step into high end audio Do NOT do an overpriced B&W 600 system with only left/right/center. That’s silly. Here’s a complete 5.1 system — including receiver — that’ll wow you for about $3100. Free shipping and a 45-day in-home trial with free shipping back on the spea... | |
| Spikes on tower speakers I’d go with the granite/marble but I’d also use the Hush Puppies or your speakers could easily slide off the stone if someone bumps into them. Or, you could just try the Hush Puppies alone first and see how that works — you can always add the gra... | |
| Improving the Musicality of a Home Theather +1 @thespeakerdude Buy the best LG OLED TV you can afford and you’ll be thrilled. It also does high dynamic range (HDR) and when it’s available in the program material the picture totally pops — assuming you have the picture settings set right. ... | |
| Spikes on tower speakers +1 @toro3 Pick up a couple slabs of granite or marble from Home Depot and put the Herbie’s Puckies on top. But, if you can afford them, Townshend Seismic products would be all you need and likely greatly improve your sound — read the reviews… ht... | |
| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps Soix, if we let you down with your DNA-225, I do apologize. I wish we could give it another shot. @stevemcx You guys recently upgraded my DNA 0.5 and did not let me down in any way whatsoever — not sure who the unhappy DNA 225 is but definitely... | |
| Looking for a low priced preamp (used) Reasonably priced means nothing. What is your budget? | |
| The Impossible Has Happened Any time a TAS review bothers to compare any review component to something else is indeed noteworthy. | |
| Analyzing DACs In the publication’s DAC published tests the reviewers almost always tested the DAC connected directly to the amplifier. I think I understand why—nothing in the chain influencing the DAC sound. Is that the correct assumption? No. It’s very sys... |
