| Marantz vs. Arcam @mswale In case you haven’t heard of it, accessories4less.com has very good prices on refurbished gear (with full or even extended warranties) and has a good reputation — worth keeping in mind for future purchases as it could make getting a great ... | |
| What speaker cable for Martin Logan motion series (AMT) tweeter. Depends. What cables are you using now, and what specific improvements/sound characteristics are you looking for? Also, what’s your budget and are you looking new or used, and do you want bi-wire or not? | |
| Keep McIntosh C2500 pre-amp or upgrade to C12000? If I was you I’d take a hard look at the new Spatial Audio Raven or Aric Audio Motherload preamps given what you’re looking for, and they cost less than half the price of the C12000. I think both offer a trial period, and I’d bet big $$$ you would... | |
| Denafrips Pontus *15th* ? This whole thing how they’ve handled the launch of the 15th models to how they’ve treated/ghosted Alvin at Vinshine after being such a good ambassador for the Denafrips brand is an utter embarrassment IMO and is making them look like a completely ... | |
| Ethernet cable for music streaming For $300 I'd give SmoothLan Network Filter a go and send it back if it doesn't help. +1 @macg19. Given the very positive results several have gotten with this and in your situation with a long Ethernet run I’d think this would be well worth a... | |

| Soundtracks and Film scores, your favourites Along with liking the movie, I always loved the music in Jurassic Park by John Williams and is one of those relatively rare iconic scores that really helped define the movie a la Star Wars and Rocky just to name a couple. Recently I pulled it up i... | |
| twitter sound from right speaker only?? Switch the speakers and if the sound stays the same it’s not the speakers. I’d start with that. | |
| Find the Problem Doesn’t the AVR digitize the signal from the phono pre? If so, maybe its the ADC that’s causing the problem. | |
| Need help choosing preamp for streaming The input impedance of the 8008 is 22k Ohms and the output impedance of the Freya is <1k Ohms so they should be perfectly fine together as long as the Freya’s sonic characteristics match with what you’re looking for — just read some reviews for... | |
| Need help choosing preamp for streaming As recommended above, an Eversolo DMP-A8 (with a better DAC than the A6) would do everything you’re looking for, but they’re a relatively new company and their customer support doesn’t seem to be all that great if that’s important to you. Personal... | |
| Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier in other cases with source components I did experience improved soundstage particularly in depth and instrument placement as well as additional refinement of the lower treble. So I’ve been surprised so far not to be able to experience similar imp... | |
