| Is it easier to sell mono blocks or stereo amp on the used market? I’ve gone from intergraded, to single amp to mono blocks and back. It think monos will always have a market. I’m back to monos for my “end game” amps. | |
| XLR cable placement I might be crazy but I’ve always bought into; you get the sound relative to your worse component and cable in the chair. Based on that premise I would start at the source, DAC to Pre. I want my Pre to start with the best signal that I can afford ... | |
| Ethernet Check out Wire World cable options. I actually found a used cable that solved my wondering mind. I believe it actually add a little detail and depth. Who knows if true but it eliminated my cable concerns and save some money while retaining a li... | |
| Dac with build-up streamer Look for a used Bricasti M3 with a built in network card. | |
| Who positions their speakers straight ahead (zero tow in) and why. I have Joesph Audio Perspectives and have tried both ways a few times but always end up with no toe in. | |
| Cardas Clear XLR interconnects Call Craig at TheaterMax 732-616-1010. | |
| Long XLR Interconnects Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences and recommendations. @audphile1 I think I am going to go the route you ended up with and clean up the equipment placement between the speakers. What amp stands did you use? When I look at the cost of ... | |
| After 20 years, in the market for a power amp If I were you I would demo a CODA and AGD Audions (Class D). both are great amps, can't go wrong. At this price point make the decision in your listening room. I believe both companies will send "demos" at a reasonable expense. Deal direct. | |

| More potential bad news for some big names... The money is one thing but yesteryears potential audiophiles (and many other potential market builders) have all run aground in the video gaming and betting markets. Just saying. | |
| Looking for my End Game Speaker @waorwraith sorry for being dumb but what do you mean by "AGD recovery". Im not sure how to imterpet your comment. | |
| Looking for my End Game Speaker I went through the same process while retiring. I ended up with JA Perspectives. Part of my decision was size look and sound. What I’ve found is I can’t afford the supporting equipment to truly understand how good these speakers are. This is a ... | |
| Non-Audiophile Audiophile question! I agree that it should not matter that much. As a matter of fact would be a good way to compare speakers. Take the visual out of the process. Good luck. | |
| Tube Amp or Tube Pre Amp My experience moved me from all tubes to a tube pre and ss amp for a few reasons. Cost of power tubes, heat, better bottom end control at the cost (maybe) of a very little loss in sound stage. I would start with a good tube pre. I've found that... | |
| Amp Stands - Wood or Stone Thanks everyone for your responses. Sounds like everything audio; opinions all over the map. Wanted to ask because I have to do something. Going with hardwood on cones / spikes based on cost and aesthetics. Thanks again everyone for sharing yo... |
