Interconnects - better before preamp or after preamp?
Op, you’re going to get responses all over the map. Do yourself a favor and figure out for yourself what works best in your system. Find a company that has cables you are interested in and have a return policy, buy 2 of the same cables and put the...

New Project RS2T transport

Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West?
@drbay -   I'm glad that you are happy with your system and I didn't suggest that one can't have a very good or great sounding system with a DAC & streamer front end. I don't stream but I have a digital front end in both of my systems , a Neod...
