| Freya+ SE and Balanced outputs to your amp I used the following 25-foot XLR with the Freya+ and now the Benchmark HPA4 preamp. Love these cables between the preamp and the amp. Benchmark Studio&Stage™ StarQuad XLR Cable for Analog Audio - Benchmark Media Systems These get sold out qu... | |
| Footers under new speakers @ronboco I was expecting the speaker to be vibrating but it did not seem to be doing that. | |
| Footers under new speakers Townshend Audio Seismic Isolation Podium for Speakers made a nice improvement to my Yanaha NS5000 speakers. I wanted to see how this worked so I played some really heavy pounding music loudly. I put a finger on the Podium's and noticed they were v... | |
| Looking for an all in one streamer/amp for a den system Get the active LS50 Wireless (used). | |
| Another great gone I listen to Morning Becomes Eclectic - KCRW on my FM tuner every morning M-F from 9AM-12PM. I spent a lot of money to get some great tuners so I could listen to this station, specifically to the morning DJ. I recently found out that this DJ, Noven... | |
| LTA Aero verses Holo May KTE @katzenjammer27 I have the following Yggi's, LIM | MIB | OG. I recently converted the LIM to the MIB. The best one by far for me is the OG. You cannot buy this DAC anymore. The MIB is pretty good but has a bit of the LIM sound for me to really lik... | |

| Seeking Advice to Improve My Audio System ($1000 Budget) @carlyleciv I realized that I forgot to mention that you should add the KC62 sub to the mix with either the LS50 Meta or the Maggies I mentioned. The KC62 sounds great and is fast. It is not a must but when added it takes the system to a better ... | |
| Seeking Advice to Improve My Audio System ($1000 Budget) Long ago I owned Audioengine A2+ speakers as my main setup for almost 5 years. The top end is muddy and not clean as you describe. If you want to stay with a powered speaker the KEF LS50 Wireless II (active model) will be much better. Maybe you c... | |
| Finally up and playing And people say A'gon is useless. Great system. | |
| White cabinet popularity? KEF has a nice-looking white speaker with blue drivers. | |
| Kef Blade or Wilson Audio Alexia? The soundstage on the Blades is the best I have ever heard. I do not think the aluminum drivers on the Blades are the top of the heap, but the overall package makes it my favorite speaker. I do not like the KEF Reference 5 because it does not crea... | |
| Network Switches I have 3 switches ranging from $45 to $450. The $450 is today’s price, I paid MSRP of $150 before it became very popular. All my switches support fibre optic output. They take RJ45 Ethernet input from my router, I take the bits from the SFP outp... | |
| Best amplification for Magico S3 newer version on your experience The Luxman 509x is rather weak compared to the Luxman m900u and the new amp (m10?). I have heard all 3. These Luxman amps are warmer that the other amps I mention later. The CODA #16 is a great amp and even though it is 150 watts it is incredibl... | |
