| Cables 101, new student, first question This is just my personal experience FWIW. Adding a better interconnect improves the sound of my system even if there’s a lesser one elsewhere. But it also matters where you install the cables in your system. I get the best results by putting th... | |
| I have atcsm40 want possible alternative Nice pair of Acoustic Zen Crescendo ll available here now for $8400 that are more efficient and may do very nicely. Best of luck. | |
| used speaker recommendations You can find the Harbeth P3ESR used at a little over $2k, which would be a great option if you can stretch a little. Not British, but there’s a pair of Nola Boxer 3s for $2k at Seattle HiFi that would also be worth considering. Best of luck. | |
| IPhone/IPad - why do I need camera adapter to connect to DAC? My understanding is you can use any lightening to USB cable, but I’ve only used a camera adapter so not sure if they all work or provide sufficient data transfer rates. I have also heard the Apple Camera Adapter with the power port sounds a bit b... | |

| Looking for some new floor standing speakers I’m gonna reiterate that you can try the LSA-20 Statements at home for 30 days and think you should strongly consider doing so.

| B&W 702 Signature vs The original B&W 702 S2 Sorry I apparently wasted my time. | |
| Near field monitor advice please Agree with pro speaker recommendation. I’d go ATC for their excellent sound and sealed-box design. Best of luck. | |
| Speaker upgrade Rockports, Joseph Audio, Vivid Audio measure in around the same as the Aerial acoustics 7T and may perhaps be a lateral step rather than a significant step forward. HA! I think not. I’d take a $35k speaker from any of those manufacturers over the ... | |
| Ayre Codex vs. ESS SABRE ES9010K2M (Yamaha AS801) There’s a NuPrime IDA-8 available here now for $600 I’d take over the 801 (not sure if it has all the same features though). You can read the reviews. | |
| Ayre Codex vs. ESS SABRE ES9010K2M (Yamaha AS801) Keep the Codex and put the funds into a better integrated. | |
| HiFi Man TWS600 Hey Erik, what’s your take on the TWS600 from an audiophile perspective? Compared to airpods? | |
| Eleven digital cable audition. Yeah that’s exactly why I brought it up. I installed the Wyde Eye backwards by mistake once and it sent me into a panic until I realized what I did — it sounded so bad. | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? He’s talking about the module that can be used in various amps, not a particular amp. |
