| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? You don’t give any info on your setup and price limits. there are many speaker brands that will reliably sound good but your room and equipment might not be optimal for them. Well known high end brands such as KEF, Magnepan, Quad, B&W,... | |

| DAC UPGRADE QUESTION You can do better but of course more $$ since the Qutest is still quite competitive with more current/recent similar priced dacs. From my brief experience I would recommend holo audio spring 3 higher trims for a step up. More expensive dacs may gi... | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? Well…. Try it or remain ignorant as most people with opinions. Make sure you get authenticate cables. There are a lot of fakes out there at cheap prices. In USA you can buy and return (30 days) from audio advisor. Try their Pangea cab... | |
| Mobile Fidelity Settlement Update New expensive Digital remastered re-release records nowadays do not sound as good as the original all analogue pressings. I stopped by newly pressed vinyl back 2015 after buying several duds when compared to the original all analogue pressing.... | |
| Admitting my error… Just about all new vinyl pressings now have a digital stage. Most cutting lathes for the master for the vinyl pressings are digitally driven. so there is no reason to get into vinyl if you are going to buy new pressings. the only reason f... | |
| Anthem vs Arcam btw... the "review" you added (link) is useless. The dude is using a used unit and never listened to it. Maybe he had a defective unit or had a faulty connection for his measurements, dunno. Dude didn’t read correctly what Athem literature says ... | |
| Anthem vs Arcam Hi Chris, I have done the exact journey you are about to start and am now on the other side 😀. My progression was Marantz to Arcam to Anthem and then back to Arcam. What got me back to Arcam was its richer, more lush, and midrange denser sound.... | |
| How much should I spend on a new DAC Please realize that any high-end brand name cable from Ali express (any cables out of china) is likely fake. wont comment on their no name cables but I would doubt they are any good for the caliber of audio system you have. | |
| How much should I spend on a new DAC Wow… advice all over the place from folks. most of it garbage. lucky for you I also own a project dac box s2+ and a pass amp (not their integrated amp). first, I got the ifi elite power supply for the project dac. this made a huge dif... | |
| Digital is far better than vinyl Digital has improved quite a bit, particularly in the last 5 years. Can actually have enjoyable listening experiences with digital these days. that said you are either trolling or have no understanding of a good setup. pretty pointless test yo... | |
| The character of analog and digital I read many years ago and agree and still think it’s true…. “To like digital you have to stop listening to analogue vinyl.” I find the best analogue vinyl sounds much better than digital. the sound is relaxed and has air and ambience. also, m... | |
| Was my friend given misinformation. I’m sure the Best Buy guy also added that the volume control goes to higher number (volume goes to 11 reference😀). Sad that this “information” just propagates and shuts off peoples minds that there is something better. | |
| Looking for wider soundstage A sure way to increase your soundstage in an untreated room is to hang a soft blanket or even a sheet on the wall behind your speakers. Give this a try. If you hear a difference (you will) you can try the side walls at around the 90 deg angle betw... | |
| Best streamer for a returning audio guy My recommendation is as follows: 1) old Mac mini or MacBook Pro with optical out 2) project dac box s2+ 3) ifi elite power supply 4) wire world (or other equal) optical cable I much prefer optical because of low noise (vs usb) but it does l... |
