| Eversolo or Aurender: Options and Opinions I’d get an Innuos Pulse Mini and a Teddy Pardo LPS and would be in your price range for both. Great sound quality and Innuos is an established company with excellent customer service and comes with their outstanding Sense app. Best of luck. | |
| Tube Amp recommendation for Thiel CS1.6 under $2k I had those speakers in my system and would not recommend tubes to drive them and especially not in a room the size of yours (Thiels in general are not tube-friendly speakers). I drove them with both a robust 100Wpc (roughly doubles into 4 Ohms) ... | |

| SHALL WE PLAY A GAME ? Dumb question — how do you get links to show up with pictures and not just a line of text as with waytoomuchstuff? | |
| Unplugging power cords from amps/ pre amps Has using a power conditioner improved your sound ? i.e. dirty power artifacts etc. Are you using audiophile AC cables to your components? I am in a 110 apartment building built-in 2010. We have fiber optical Internet, but I don’t stream just ye... | |
| why expensive streamers You know, it strikes me that those here saying streamers make little/no difference don’t seem to have tried better streamers in their systems and instead just hang their hat on theory/digital properties that streamers can’t possibly make a differe... | |
| Unplugging power cords from amps/ pre amps +1 @onhwy61 I suppose it matters more if you have a substandard power grid and/or live in an area with crazy storms, but I’ve lived in the New York City area and Chicago my entire audiophile life (about 45 years, 40 of which my components were all... | |
| SHALL WE PLAY A GAME ? Sorry, I read your post quickly and didn’t realize we were supposed to combine the two clips — my bad. I always appreciate any attempt at humor here. | |
| why expensive streamers As mentioned, lower noise, better clocks, better parts, etc. all can make a very significant difference in streaming and streamers. Sometimes in audio it’s better to think less and just use your ears — this is one of those times. Several online ... | |
| My new B Stock speakers If they’re new, and sounds like they are, they’ll need around 100 hours or so of playing time to break in and sound more like what they’re capable of and will probably continue to improve for a few hundred hours or so past that. In other words, i... | |
| Cabling Recommends Simaudio Ace/Totem Forest These AZ Satoris are very good all-around cables and easy to sell if they don’t work out for some reason, and definitely get a Qobuz or Tidal subscription. Best of luck. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650101365-acoustic-zen-satori-8-speake... | |
| Comparing Rythmik F12 and F12G: Which is Better for Music and Movies? @bjesien I’d be very interested in your more specific thoughts on the 12G vs. the SVS specifically for music. There are some here who I think have unfairly badmouthed SVS subs for music, and as Rhythmic subs are generally highly regarded for music... | |
| Legacy Calibre - big soundstage - what other standmounts offer this? The Boenicke W5 would be one to look at with the caveats that they need a good amount of space and power to fully open up to their full potential. Another would be the omnidirectional MBL monitors that come with a much higher price tag. | |
| Amp vs Preamp In general, in my system the preamp makes more of a difference probably because my speakers are a relatively easy load, but in another system it could be the exact opposite. In the end It really doesn’t matter — what matters most is that they’re ... | |
