| RCA Interconnect recommendations I used to own some Sonic Frontiers gear... I understand you quandary. It can sound pretty warm and so you have to walk the line of getting a pretty neutral interconnect. I have to agree that moving up the Cardas hierarchy will get you more transpa... | |
| If you HAD to purchase a used (over 4 years old) DAC, what would it be? Yes, many good choices. Knowing your whole system and preferences would be very helpful. It's a bit like saying find me a good desert for $10 without some additional direction. . | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. I have to say, a waste of time. Yeah, little conflict of interest going on here. Wilson designed a speaker differently than he would, not a big surprise. I have heard different Wilson speaker for decades. They sound great and are consistent in the... | |
| Should I buy a seperate dac? It depends on the rest of your system. I didn't see a virtual system under your user ID. Your CD player has Optical and coax out. Typically, if you had USB out you would try both and see if one sounded better. Schiit is a good bet in this rang... | |
| Streamer output options @mclinnguy I agree, thanks. That is hilarious. | |

| Where's the next weak link in my analog chain? I'd save up and do the table. It is true you will get a bump with a better cartridge. I guess it depends on your personality. I would rather make big moves as opposed to frittering away money doing small incremental moves. Moving up a level will n... | |
| HAVE CABLES EVER TAKEN YOUR SYSTEM FROM SOUNDING JUST OK TO SOUNDING GREAT? Experiences ? Typically the right interconnect or cable will have make a noticeable and important difference. But once in a while it can make a huge difference. I remember my first digital cable... which I was absolutely sure could not possibly affect the sound... | |
| Finally arrived !! Congratulations! | |
| Good outlet for amplifiers @brunomarcs Great for bringing up that point. Mine came from Japan. But this highlights a huge problem with new and used accessories these days. You must be very careful when purchasing today. | |
| Speaker upgrade to a large room First. Beautiful system and room. If it was my system I would work on improving the venue. I am sure it can be done tastefully with acoustic panels and large throw rugs. Sorry to keep asking for more, but views of all angles of the whole room wo... | |
| All-in-One units for retiring audiophile & music lovers in 2025, say what? @caphill +1 Oops, correct. only the Linn Majik has the amplifiers, but the sound is far superior in the Klimax. Worth coupling with a good amp. | |
| ACTUAL MUSICAL SOUND VS. MEASUREMENTS @desktopguy +1 As a starting point... then to get right sound the designer swaps subcomponents and listens to differences. Great designers know "the sound" of different brands of subcomponents (like resistors, capacitors... etc.) and can mak... | |
| Speaker upgrade to a large room It would be really helpful to see your system as it is today. There is a place to create a virtual system with photos and to identify your components under your user ID. This would really help making recommendations . |
