| using $5 Monoprice coax cable now, what improvements would upgrading bring? Going from that interconnect there are a lot of things that could be "stepped up." What improvements would you like to achieve? More detail, richer tone, tighter bass, better imaging/soundstaging, etc.? Considering it's the only interconnect in... | |
| Best DAC Just a couple other suggestions around the $1000 level. I had a BC DAC3 and DAC3VBS in my system on demo, and it was truly great digital performance. But I have to say the improvement provided by the virtual battery supply (VBS) was not small an... | |
| Jumperless jumpers I agree, except you might need to add something or do some periodical cleaning to avoid the effects of oxidation. | |
| Stereo Speakers behind a perforated screen- How much loss in sound? I'd never, ever put a screen or anything else between me and my speakers for critical 2-channel listening. Acoustically transparent screen??? Yeah right. Unless my speaker designer meant it to be there, it's gone. Can't you just raise the scre... | |
| Need speaker suggestion for a larger room! There’s a black pair of Nola KOs at a deep discount. They’re an open baffle design so may exhibit a lot of the spatial characteristics you like about the MLs but with bass down to 30Hz. I think these would be a great choice for what you’re looking... | |

| Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening. I'm going to be blunt here. I wouldn't even consider driving the $19k Otellos with two channels of a seven channel amp or a prepro in the name of saving space, or anything else for that matter. To me, speakers of that caliber deserve their own g... | |
| Hihat Question Another drummer here. How cymbals are reproduced is also very important to me as part of a system's performance. I can't listen to a system where cymbals are highlighted, distorted, or muted. Of course this is heavily recording dependent, so I'... | |
| Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening. I'm confused. How can you use two sets of speakers (SF GPs and Otellos) in the same system? Are you physically going to swap them them out for HT and 2-channel listening? | |
| Compact DAC + Amp Yeah, I'd have to agree with @oddiofyl that this is a bit of a tough ask at that price point and not be a mismatch in quality between speakers and electronics. Two that might work and are available here now at a bit over your price target are the... | |
| How would you introduce tubes into this SS system? @jackalope -- any updates? If you haven't already, try pulling the Josephs 4-5 feet into the room if possible, with the speakers aimed at the outside of your shoulders. Magic starts to happen there. | |
| Integrated amplifier search Coming at this from a wife's perspective, she probably just doesn't want something that looks ugly or like a typical audio component staring back at her. I get it. In this vein, I'd look at the Devialet 120 or Micromega M100, both of which are a... | |
| can anyone help me........ @kennesawjet -- what's your budget? |
