| Which Speaker With the Monitor Audio Silvers definitely consider at least the 300 as this is where you get a dedicated midrange driver, which should make it a meaningful qualitative step up from the 200. | |
| Can I leave speaker jumpers in? Yes, and you can even experience performance benefits from leaving jumpers in while bi-wiring (I do). But you should consider upgrading the jumpers if you’re using the stock plates that typically come with speakers as they can compromise sound qu... | |
| New Gear Keep the Boulder for 2-channel. No question. | |
| Does it worth a upgrade to Dolby Atmos? I didn’t even know CJ made a multichannel amp. Why not go 7.1.4? | |
| DAC module of a high-end integrated amplifier still hoping for someone with IQ above 80 to reply (who actually understood what i was asking)A guy with an IQ of 80 is a genius next to someone with a 60 IQ (and I’m rounding up).

| preamp upgrade suggestion around $2000 Given you may be looking to not add any more tube warmth to your current system I’d second the LTA MZ2 with the caveat you need to also get the upgraded power supply (LPS) option. The added benefit is that the MZ2 is also an excellent headphone a... | |

| Denon Flat sounding & Lifeless compared to Yamaha Denon Flat sounding & Lifeless compared to YamahaThat’s my experience too. I worked for Magnolia and got to compare Yammy, Denon, Marantz, and Arcam AVRs back to back in 2-channel with a pair of $9000/pr. B&W 804D3s using my own “audiophil... | |
| Innuos Zenith Mk3 Ultra-low Noise USB Audio Output, Really? Listen to it and see what you think. Lots of people are thrilled with its sound. Or just go buy the MB and LPS and build your own and see how that works out for you. I can buy the same ingredients as Wolfgang Puck — doesn’t mean I can create wh... | |
| Looking for a CD player I think your CD9 has a digital out, so I’d continue to leverage that as a transport and just buy a DAC. Would be helpful to know what sound characteristics are most important to you and what you’d most like to improve upon, but without that I’ll ... | |
| DAC module of a high-end integrated amplifier Ok, I’ll take a swing at it.My personal opinion, which is not based on experienceThe qualifier was really not necessary.these amplifiers are way overpriced to begin with (please, let’s not get into discussion that it might be only overpriced in my... | |
| looking for a Integrated amp $6,000 range What sound characteristics are most important to you, are you open to tubes, and as others have asked, what speakers are you using? You’ll get much better and more useful recommendations here just providing this basic info. | |
