| Rowland versus ARC One thing to keep in mind on the ARC pre-amps....if you are driving a subwoofer with your solid state pre, you're gonna be out of business with ARC. They say the impedance of most subs is too low, and that trying to drive one alongside a stereo a... | |
| Best music of 2017 Colter Wall- "Colter Wall" | |
| USB Cable: Oyaide, Cardas, Shunyata.... Look for a used Curious USB Cable. Very nice sounding cable and reasonable prices. | |
| Speakers for Room Size I had the F208's in a room roughly that size and they sounded great....the 206's should do just fine. | |
| Amp recommendations As far an an integrated....perhaps stretch your budget a bit and look for a used or demo PASS 250 Integrated? Hard to see how you could improve on this. | |
| My rankings of some classical violin music in high resolution Try a CD rip of the recent Rachel Barton-Pine disc of Bach recordings....I'd put it against any "high-rez" downloads....Also regarding Carmingnola......not available in high-res but his Four Seasons recording is brilliantly engineered....the CD so... | |

| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I am certain there was a new Aurender unit shown at Munich which incorporated a CD ripper. I can't come up with the source but I will keep looking. | |
| Cardas Clear Beyond Interconnects ? dbarkovicDescribing what you want to improve.....you might try an Audioquest interconnect with silver conductors. I am now using AQ Fire, but used AQ Niagara for a couple years also. FWIW I had Cardas Golden Reference interconnects to compare wi... | |
| Best imaging up to 3k used? Look at a used Mytek Manhattan. Very clean, uncolored sound, has both digital and analog pre-amp. | |
| Advice on Revel Ultimate Studio2 Ex-Demo Purchase Revel customer service is excellent, and even outside of warranty they are great to work with, plus their parts are reasonably priced. My only suggestion would be that even at 50% off on the Studio 2's, you are scratching pretty close to what use... |
