| Are cable recommendations worth anything? Aw Tony, let’s put on our big-boy pants here and get our facts straight, shall we? I wasn’t speaking to the OP of that post, rather I was trying to convey to YOU on THIS THREAD how he might have asked his question so he got a better answer. But t... | |
| Are cable recommendations worth anything? @tony1954 as to what would be the “right question,” here’s the original question..."Can you recommend RCA cable brands that match well with Denafrips from dac to amplifier?" Any cable under the sun can be an appropriate answer to this question bec... | |

| Semi-Compact Integrated Amp w/ Excellent Sound Quality? A used Bel Canto C5i would work well. There’s a used NuPrime IDA-8 for $650 that’d also be very good if it’s not too big. Best of luck. | |
| Amplifier upgrade advice under $2000 A Unison Research Unico Due would probably suit your tastes and needs well as it’s got a tube input stage backed by a good amount of solid state power. One just sold here for $1600 so maybe keep your eyes out. A used Hegel H300 or H160 would als... | |
| Step me up from Paradigm Studio 20 v4 bookshelf, seriously. Used Joseph Audio Pulsars (original version) would be a significant improvement across the board. New LSA-10 Statement is on sale here for $2500 and has a 30-day, in-home trial that would tell you everything you need to know — read the reviews. ... | |
