| Upgrading Speakers @ghdprentice That makes total sense. Fortunately I have a local dealer I've visited in the past that carries the full line, I've always been curious about in thinking about future next steps from the Focals. | |
| Amp recommendations for KEF R7 speakers From my experience with my KEF R5s, they greatly benefit from amps that provide good current and power. I matched mine with an Arcam PA240 initially, then Parasound JC5. Both were good but the JC5 was best of the two. | |
| Upgrading Speakers @ghdprentice Are there any big jumps in their lines where stepping up yields a bigger result than others? | |
| Upgrading Speakers Sonus Faber has always intrigued me if not for the beauty and craftsmanship alone. Based on a few reviews of their most recent models, I've gathered they've tried to improve things like detail and treble. Has anyone listened to the latest gene... | |
| Spotify's HiFi tier could finally be about to launch I still find Spotify to have it's place even without hi-res content, I love it in all environments outside of my two channel setup. Gym, work, car, casual listening, I use it for that almost exclusively. It still doesn't sound bad on my home setup... | |

| When did you put the most effort in setting up your audio system? @monacousticusa Speaker placement once I settled on my current components and room treatment. It was eye opening how even tiny adjustments to speaker positioning could yield such an impact (positive and negative). | |

One of the most interesting journeys for me has been the constant refinement of the system, not by adding or changing components, but by fine tuning things like speaker placement, adding direct 20amp circuits, etc. That's what's taken the most tim... | |
| Parasound vs Coda @reg19 Thank you for the feedback, that's really helpful. I have been on the lookout for JC1+ for sale but interestingly, haven't seen many as of late. Coda is still high on my list too. I also agree with the power cord note, I upgraded the st... | |
| Does the Audio press ever excite you anymore? I used to read a lot of them when I first got into the hobby seriously. Now I put more weight on forums and user experience. | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update Seems like things are stabilizing now which is great in terms of the latest firmware updates across the models. For those with Terminator Plus and have done the update, how do you like it with some more listening time? | |
| Being alone with your music I value my nightly alone sessions mostly because I play whatever I want and explore. Of equal value is enjoying the system with people, particularly playing songs people know but have never heard at this level. | |
| Should I Sell My ARC REF 6 and Get A Pass Labs XP-32 My Pass XP22 was my first foray into a dedicated pre-amp, and a big reason I chose it was for it's neutrality based on all my research. Everything is subjective, of course, to some neutrality is boring or lacks excitement. To me, as I was getting ... | |
| Focal Aria 948 I second the positioning. I'm willing to bet they aren't far enough into the room or too close to the wall for the seating position. It took a lot of trial and error for me positioning my speakers to get even bass response in the room. |
