Which amp with Wilson watt puppy 8
@lendivf good dac. You just need a good amplifier.  I’m confused about playing over 40% volume. The volume level on the control unit is not an indication of anything. How much volume range you have depends on the amplifier gain and sensitivity. In...

@jl35 it’s not that bad when it’s good :) but I feel discomfort in my lower back after 20-30min in my current chair. If my back is already sore then forget about it altogether. So I need something that wouldn’t exacerbate the problem.  I’m thinkin...

@pindac as long as it it’s an eject button you’re safe. Lol @rick_n which replica do you have and how old is it? How is it holding up? @wsrrsw I’m looking for something comfortable, not too bulky, with good back support and for the chair not to ...

OP one other thing I wanted to mention is that an underpowered amplifier is more likely to damage your speakers, especially tweeters, than an amp that’s too powerful. So I’d be careful if I were you while continuing to use that amplifier.

Thank you all. I have options now. I think the Stressless is about where my budget is capped.

@unclewilbur impressive! Thanks for a detailed overview.

@corelli I agree. Mine currently does. It will be challenging to find something with good lumbar support and the right height.  Right angle is also key.

Great suggestions! Please keep em coming.  I’ll start visiting furniture stores to try some of the chairs.  @dekay LOL thx

BB&B chair is probably flimsy as hell. Doubt it’s any good at this price.  Wondering if the Eames replicas are any good.

Stressless looks nice! More than I wanted to spend though.    Going to try the Poang in ikea as well.   
Advice on a good Digital Coax Cable to run between my Transport and DAC?
Should be a good cable. I see one on USAM.   
Adding an extra 1ft to premium speaker cables
Clean power? How about going off grid. Read about Stromtank. If you know the difference between a soldering station and a train station, get your soldering iron out and build yourself this type of device. Don’t be an armchair audiophile.

So it’s a pretty simple concept really. Most seasoned audiophiles I know, and a lot of them are here on audiogon, in addition to their love for music and good sound are also avid gearheads. I like to know what’s in the box. I like reading about di...
