| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room @captouch Not sure what your budget might be for smaller monitors, but there are many good options to choose from. If I were you I might try for a local hifi shop (if one exists nearby) that would allow an in home trial. That will probably be very... | |

| Modding a Oppo 103 I used to have an Oppo 93 with Exemplar mods, it sounded very nice for the money. I believe it had the usual stuff like power supply upgrade, nicer opamps, all the regular mods that different companies did with Oppo players over the years. However... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room Interesting little room you have there. Maybe challenging but a fun project trying to optimize everything. As people have already said, you can keep tweaking speaker placement with your existing gear. But in the end probably would be best to go wi... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found @nwres I see, that is a smart setup you have there. I’ve always wondered how much if any improvement my system might have with some of those audiophile oriented network components. Right now I just go straight from the wall to my Innuos Zenith mk... | |

| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found @lak Thank you, nice to have someone tell me I am not impulsive with audio gear because it sure feels that way sometimes. Even this morning I came far too close to buying a vintage Nakamichi amplifier that I've always been curious about. I have ab... | |

| what dacs are fast, lively, energetic? When I think about a lively/fast/energetic DAC, my brain first thinks of Chord. I don't necessarily love them in my system but I respect what they do. The TT2 can be had within your budget and it is popular for a reason. Also look into Rockna. Th... | |
| What are the best speakers you have ever owned and why? My current Tannoy Turnberry GR speakers are the best I've ever owned. They would not have worked well in many of the places I've lived over the years though. Getting the right match for your particular room really is a huge part of the process. I... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found I started with the Connexa network cable and was satisfied enough to also order the Praesto AC cable. I love that too, about to pick up a couple more so my system runs exclusively Veritas power cables. Tempted to try out their interconnects. But... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found @nwres Thanks, I am planning on getting the Aperta at some point when funds allow. I have used my quota for the year but next year starts soon enough. It's nice to hear that you find them impressive, that seems to be the common thing I hear from a... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found @samureyex How is it going now that you probably have more hours on the cables? I had fun reading your updates for the initial hours, seems maybe things have tapered off or finished burning for the most part? @nwres I may have missed it but what ... | |
| Final Touch Sinope USB? Agreed with the above, I've loved every Audience cable I've ever tried. Haven't heard the Reserve USB yet but you really can't go wrong with Audience as a general rule. | |
| Final Touch Sinope USB? I have a friend who recommends the Final Touch cables, he has several of them including the Callisto USB and ranks them highly. I had been considering trying them out but then got side tracked with Veritas Cables instead. They sound great in my sy... |
