Subwoofers - crazy upgrade!
I’ve seen posts about low level listening. It is amazing how much lower of a volume / gain to get dynamic sound with a sub in the mix.   
Subwoofers - crazy upgrade!
On a $3k budget I think you can find plenty of options. My local dealer has JL Audio, Kef, B&W and SVS to name a few.   They all have options to get you into a two sub configuration.  I know there are other brands as well.  I did make sure t...

If you stack subs, doesn’t that introduce vibration into each sub, causing distortions?  
Subwoofers - crazy upgrade!
I will be playing around with room correction this  weekend, very interested to see the impact it has.  I am guessing it will be less boomy but play louder with a touch more visceral impact.  I do need to check into the best way to connect it.    
Speaker cables - cables make a difference
The cables in question are indeed PAD Aqueous 20th. i see why they seem to hold value well. they took a couple days to come around but they do sound good! nice synergy with magnepans and ps audio integrated.   
A fresh approach to cable analysis
“No well-controlled double blind test has ever produced statistically reliable results showing listeners could consistently distinguish between speaker cables of comparable gauge and impedance. Why not? If its SO CLEAR?” I don’t typically read ar... 
A fresh approach to cable analysis
Genuine question, How does this topic align with speaker wiring? Many people think magnepan wiring is inferior. Many speaker companies offer wiring upgrades. Many people say silver is harsh unless done right. Are there correlations between th... 
Power tubes on a lps
Nice article on the tube comparisons. Thanks.  I am now looking at some 6sn options as well. the gold lions I am using in my pre/dac/streamer sound better  than the bugle boys I had been using.  But I think its time to revisit those and a rect... 
Power tubes on a lps
I do want to add something I keep going back to. I do miss the Vinnie Rossie / Red Wine overall sound.   It can do it all and better with the right speakers.  But I haven’t finished  exploring what the rest if my system can do.  Either iteration... 
Cables & streamers
Maybe should read cables & amps.   
A New Integrated Amp
I would suggest finding your speakers first.  The more efficient they are, the more integrated amp choices you will have.  I got nice sound from a rega, ps audio and rogue pharaoh with dali’s and jm reynauds.  The rega hit its ceiling with my magn... 
AMT Tweeters integration
I listened to Dali Opticon 6 MK 2’s and they had detail and nice tone, filled my small room very nicely with a solid center image. They were easy to drive as well.  
DAC's Streamer and Preamps
I believe you can get into a new PS Audio Gold dac at 40% off. Go to their website.  Nice reviews and it has a decent analog output stage if you need time to buy a preamp.

Using digital 75/50 ohm cables for analog
Thank you both for the information.  If I should be at 100mOhm or lower, it sounds like the 75Ohm cable is not idea though maybe not necessarily audible unless it's putting "strain" on the device it's connected to?
