| Sonus faber choices - help me decide You got really lucky with Vs but until you upgrade your electronics and I mean all of it, you will only get about 20% of what the speakers are capable of. | |
| Denefrips Pontus "burn in" period? @jin78 I was using a coax cable- a Wireworld from what I remember. | |
| Chinese Cables that sound good Here we go again! | |
| Denefrips Pontus "burn in" period? I got a loan Pontus from the distributor, which was well and truly burned in and I still couldn't hear any difference from my Exemplar CD player when running through the Pontus or directly to the preamp. | |
| Recommendations on small ESL speakers for tiny room Maggies or ML. Take your pick. The Maggie LRS with a sub or two sound particularly good for the money. | |

| Line Stage Preamps that blew you away $2500 Edition Recently I was able to buy a slightly used Aesthetix Calypso for Aus $2200. It is an absolute knockout, nothing I have bought before made as much difference to the SQ. Huge soundstage, dynamic and above all totally musical. | |
| What are you using as a streamer? Constructive feedback please. The Auralic Aries works for me even though the app is, at best, basic. | |
| Do speaker wires have to be the same length for each speaker? Nice if viable but not always possible. |
