| Integrated Amplifier for Sonus Faber Olympica II Go Luxman! That’s a really nice integrated. | |
| Looking for speaker wire (bi-wired) suggestions for two types of speakers I have both a single run of AZ Satori and shotgun, and I prefer the shotgun versus the single run with good jumpers by a good margin. But that’s in my system with my speakers so YMMV. Just my experience FWIW. | |
| How Big of a Difference? What speakers are you using? | |
| Need help choosing Sonus Faber Sonetto V or VIII, what amp? There are some other highly-regarded integrateds out there well within your budget. I’ll mention the Octave v70SE and Audio Hungary Qualition, neither of which will likely trigger any brightness issues but will bring your SFs into full song with ... | |
| Looking for speaker wire (bi-wired) suggestions for two types of speakers Acoustic Zen Double Barrel Shotgun is a great cable that does everything right and doesn’t put a foot wrong. Best of luck. https://www.thecableco.com/double-barrel-speaker-cable-pair.html | |
| Need new headphone setup. Congrats! You chose some pretty can’t-miss products, and coming from basic earbuds I think you’re gonna be pretty amazed. BTW, what streaming service are you using? | |
| Newbie Needs Assistance @sns I’ve obviously got my head up my butt on this Raven thing. What’d I miss? | |
| Need new headphone setup. If you end up using a dongle out of the iPad, I found this to be a significant upgrade over the Apple Camera Adapter... https://www.lavricables.com/cables/reference-silver-lightning-to-chord-hugo-mojo-interconnect-cable-by-lavricables-v2-0/ | |
| Newbie Needs Assistance If I were you I might try to stretch a little for Raven Audio Nighthawk amp and CeLest speakers. Excellent products made in the USA, and obviously they’re made to work optimally together. Just my $0.02 FWIW, and best of luck. | |
| Need new headphone setup. Given the sound qualities you’re looking for, I think Audeze ‘phones should be on your radar although you might need to up your budget a bit. And unless you can’t have any sound leaking out into the room I’d recommend open-backed designs as they ... | |
| SONUS FABER BOOKSHELF SPEAKER ADVICE: Lumina II; Sonetto I; Sonetto II; Venere 1.5 I would not suggest the Venere line. I had the 2.5 in my system on demo, and you should know they are NOT voiced at all like SF’s more upscale models, which have a warmer, fuller and more musical sound. Also, the cabinets are very lightweight wi... | |
| Musician pegasus DAC or Denafrips Aries 2 +1 @arafiq I’d keep DAC and streamer separate. Find the DAC that works best for you then upgrade the streamer when you can — the Node’s not an awful streamer so with a good DAC you should still enjoy some pretty good overall performance. That’s wh... | |
| Need new headphone setup. Building a HeadFi system is like building a mini “big rig” so the same principles apply. That said, what sound characteristics are most important to you? This will help narrow down your choices for headphones, then you can go from there. But, t... | |
| Upgrading from soundbar A pair of KEF LS50 Wireless speakers should make a big improvement. Best of luck. | |
| Sony SACD Player SCD-XA5400ES; YAY or NAY? Personally I wouldn’t want my CDs “upscaled” to SACD. No thanks. Otherwise it seems like a solid piece. |
