| Budget 15' interconnect recommendation I have 2 preamps that connect to an amp(s) using two 15 foot Benchmark XLR’s. It is an excellent value cable. Speaker cable is where I spend my cable money.If your requirement is XLR cables do a bit of research on AES48. My gear supports the spec ... | |

| Aurender N20 Music Server Comments and Observations I have a question for all the folks with the nice music servers. I have not done this myself because I only have a cheap computer as my ROON Core. Though I hope to test a music server out in the future.Have you compared the music server with a Fib... | |
| Is The FM tuner obsolete? You guys in Toronto have the CN Tower to broadcast radio. | |
| Krell K-300i (with its optional DAC) vs. McIntosh MA7200 (with DA1) vs. ? (including DAC) I have the KRELL K-300i and I would pair it with a speaker that was not overly warm or dark. If may work but I think a neutral to bright sounding speaker on the KRELL is killer. I use the KRELL with a bright RAAL SR1a headphones (it needs a ton of... | |

| Is The FM tuner obsolete? I got a Magnum Dynalab MD108T last week. I upgraded from a MD102. I have a great local station that actually sounds good and plays the most incredible music. A lot of stuff I have never heard before. I listen a minimum of 3 hours a day to FM (9AM ... | |

| Coda continuum 8 @lancelock You misunderstood my post. You already sent them years ago (for free) but I never used them until today. I do see my grammar was not that clear. | |
| Coda continuum 8 @lancelock Congrats, that really was a great deal. A couple of issues to look for. There was some source bleed issues on a small set of preamps. Including mine which was built around April or May 2021 (not really a big deal). There is supposedly a... | |
| How important is the pre-amp? A preamp is a must for me. Even if I used a DAC with volume control for streaming. I also have other sources, tuner, SACD.My Benchmark LA4 preamp is a perfect preamp in that it has no sound to it. It costs $2K and it is a great bargain. Read the r... |
