Has anyone heard the soft-dome replacement tweeter for the 3.6?  I was notified that there are no more OEM replacements available.

@tomthiel I have a pair of the Straightwire Maestro speaker cables.  Haven't had them in the system in a while and will give them a spin this weekend.

@jafant I've found that an old pair of simple AudioQuest (I think 4) cables sound the best on the 2.7 and DHLabs Q-10 sounds best on the 3.6.  The rooms are also quite different.  The 2.7 better damped and the 3.6 a little bit more live due to har...

@jond @georgehifi I've looked at the MSB spinners however they use the Oppo transport which may be hard to get these days.I've run a few different CD players into the MSB however they never quite worked for me:Denon 1650ARPrimare CD31CAL CL-10The ...

@jafant always appreciate your perspectiveI was using Transparent Super XLR.  I have a much older pair and the dealer gave me a pair of the recent ones to try.  The newer pair was better in the bass however I still couldn't live with it.I've read ...

From another post:"The Ref CD-8 used Burr Brown PCM 1792 chips configured in stereo mode. By contrast, the CD-6 and Ref CD-9 use the BB PCM 1792A, but configured in quad mono mode."https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/arc-ref-cd-8-compared-to-cd...

Had the opportunity to put an ARC CD6 into the system with Krell FBI and Thiel 2.7.  The top through midbass was amazing...the best this system has ever sounded.  However once you got into the bass it had no bite.  Symphonic bass drum sounded like... 
ARC Ref CD-8 compared to CD-6 and/or Ref CD-9
@jafant Have you had the chance to hear the CD6 and CD9 back to back?  I'm demoing the CD6 and I'm finding the bass a bit too rounded for my taste.

@therealpupalei what do you think of the PS amp?  I have a Denon HTR and have hooked it up to my Krell to Thiel setup. This wasn't a good match at all.  The preamp I use now (Levinson 326S) is significantly more expensive however is an excellent m...

@tomthiel do you by chance have the Mahler 7 - CSO Abbado on DG?  The track I used was the beginning of mvt 5.  If not I can post a snip of the track for testing purposes.

@therealpupalei yes you needed to short out the XLR inputs when using the single ended inputs as that can cause issuesits unfortunate that you had such issues as the Krell TAS is an excellent piece of gear.  I would have liked to hear your impress...

@jon_5912 Were you able to repair the crossover?

@ctsooner That is what my hunt has been for. Any speaker can produce sound. A carefully matched system can reproduce music and that is what I’m after as well. Currently my most involving setup is this:Intel NUC running wtfplay (Synergistic Active ...
