@erik_squires  What do you mean by line-level, not speaker level?  Are you saying they are interconnects?@4425  I'll keep that in mind for my 2nd system.@bassdude  I would love to know how they compare against the anti-cables.  I'll post a compari...

@joey_v I have not but will keep an eye out for my second system.@bassdude I have heard good and bad about anti-cables and blue jeans.  Probably due to the controversy around cables. I don't know what to believe but the anti-cables are about the s...

That's good to know @jl35 
Need Wireless Subwoofer Options
No, I can't route any cables. I stopped by a local dealer today to audition the JL Audio subs. They told me I could use the JLA JLINK wireless system on any sub because the receiver has RCA out. It's just that if I use their Dominion brand then...

Best standalone music server?
Since you already have the cabling, you could get a Denon Heos link for $350 and run an ethernet cable from the router to Heos and then either analog or digital to you pre or DAC. Then get a Tidal subscription for $20/mo. Done.If you search Tidal ... 
$500 USB cable
To me 1s and 0s are just that, but @geoffkait makes a very good point about just being representations of 1s and 0s. That tells me it's about the source,  not the cable. Personally,  I think one must consider the resolution of the system. Maybe a ... 
To Pre or not to Pre? Here is my take
I have been fighting this same issue.  I have a Cambridge Audio 851N connected directly to my Halo A21 via balanced cables and it sounds very analytical too me with a small soundstage.  Speakers are KEF R300.I almost think my second system with le...
