| Integrated S.E.T Amp and Bookshelf Speakers Recommendations Here’s the latest-I’m going to audition a Unison Simply Italy Integrated (It puts out 12 W using EL34’s and 12AU7’s) and Focal Aria 906’s (90db sensitivity/8 ohms). I’m starting at the upper middle/lower high end of my pricepoint for the room layo... | |
| Integrated S.E.T Amp and Bookshelf Speakers Recommendations Wow! Thanks for the helpful responses. There is quite A LOT to "digest." Yogiboy and br3098, you are right about the Harbeths. dekay-the room is 12" x 10.5", with 8.5" ceilings. It has a row of windows on 10.5" wall, with an entry door galley clo... | |
| Speaker Slip Covers @allenf1963 -I hear you about your cats. Congrats for rescuing them. I bet they are a hoot playing together. I bought these for my speakers. David https://www.alcocovers.com/product/outdoor-custom-made-outdoor-speaker-covers/ | |
| Bob James How about this one? | |

| Looking for comparisons between CD transports @cooper52 - I had the Urd for a short time. It was just ok. Nice sounding BUT, skimps on detail/resolution. I think that will be noticed with your DAC. At your price point, what are your thoughts about the Cambridge CD transport? David | |
| Bob Weir: "George Jones is my favorite musician." Fun thread about terrific music! What do you all think of The Louvin Brothers? | |
| Review: Audio Research Ref-3 Tube preamp @cafedienanh2013 - Wouldn't do it because the KT-120 can damage the power regulator. | |
| Surge protector A very useful/informative thread. I'm sorry that the OP had to endure the power surge, to make this thread happen. Am wondering if anyone knows/has tried one of these? David https://www.brickwall.com/products/eight-outlet-audio-surge-protecto... | |
| Ethernet cable for music streaming @cooper52 - I am going to second the recommendations you have gotten from audphile1 and soix. I'll add one more -- have you looked into Network Acoustics ethernet filters? David https://www.networkacoustics.com/product-category/ethernet-filt... | |
| Insurance for system Has anyone tried getting insurance from a company that insures musical instruments? | |
