| IC between Soulution Pre and power @icorem The Inakustik 2404 is well below your budget and you won't be disappointed. I previously owned Soulution 721 and a pair of 700 monoblock. The 2405 model is its successor. | |
| Dealers charging a fee for using a credit card This is now common practice, including restaurants and government agencies. Some restaurants list two prices on their menus - one for cash and another for credit card payments. Similarly, in California, government entities such as those handling ... | |
| Interconnect suggestions for Audio Research Ref 5SE? Inakustik Pure Silver. I previously used Transparent Opus, and the moment I switched to Inakustik Pure Silver, the entire system opened up - delivering greater clarity, more air, and a significantly improved presentation. | |

| Unusual countries for audio gear Aries Cerat is from Cyprus, not Greece. | |
| Experience up-leveling streaming with USB cables? Inakustik Pure Silver (not copper version) USB cable, a transformational cable. | |
| The Low Volume Loudness Dilemma Have a demo of Aries Cerat Preamp and DAC at Axpona next year. This might work for you. | |
| Are all streamers the same? No, they are not the same. | |
| Preamp or DAC @backdoor With your $12k - 15k budget, get a used Aries Cerat Incito S preampfifier or Helene DAC. Either unit will greatly transform your system and it’s worth every penny. It’s just extremely hard to find a used / demo unit in the market. | |
| A nightmare regarding streaming? @fastfreight How do you export a Roon playlist to PDF? Thanks | |
| ReL Subs: High Level or Low Level connection I connect using high level with Neutrik SpeakOn connectors which are recommended by REL, never look back. |
