| Worth it to add streamer to Hegel H390 @jjss49 agreed. The Node really does work well for the money. | |
| Killer used integrated for @builder3 thats tough to beat at that price point. Classic Marantz sound. | |

| Looking for a tube Preamp new or used for under $2000... I’ve had that setup. I’m not sure you are going to see a “huge” improvement in that price realm. I ran my A21 with both an ARC LS17 SE and and ARC SP16 both were “different” but certainly not a “huge” improvement. You can find an SP16 in your pric... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @spiritofradio... A Farewell to Kings nice! Don’t have that 40th yetSpinning Hold Your Fire currently. | |
| Linking TV audio into Sonos system? Or, you could use a 1/8th phono plug (most tv’s have them) out to RCA. Works pretty well overall. You could do the same thing into a preamp etc if you have one. | |
| Sonos and Qobuz high rez For similar money ditch the Sonos and go with a Bluesound Node 2i. Not even close. That is unless you have a full Sonos system. NAS support killed the Sonos for me. Could play FLAC and other high res files. | |
| Wilson Audio Sasha DAW’s or Alex 1’s? @jtasker the manual goes through the WASP process well. It is worth it to start there and then see how that works in your situation/environment. Then tweak as required from there. Room treatment makes all the difference as well and should be consi... | |
| Wilson Audio Sasha DAW’s or Alex 1’s? Alexia 1’s are fantastic. They can fill a space, but can also work in a smaller environment. There is a certain member here that will tell you they have an “evil” load and only a couple of amps can run them. Which isn’t true. They do pose a challe... | |
| Newb - Ideas For Quality vs Quantity For 2 Ch Amp/Pre or Integrated (and speakers) Try not to completely rule out “simple face plates”. Hegel for example are excellent integrateds, with minimalist, modern looks. Parasound is another good example with the Hint 6 integrated, or a separates system. Very affordable and capable. Pass... | |
| what are some of best tonearms you own or experience with. Another SME V vote. Shines with everything from a Lyra Atlas to a Sumiko Blue Note #2... MM, MC. They all just work, and overall work well. | |
| Killer used integrated for Just keep what you have, swap the amps to 2 channel and be good. Not going to find much better for the $ you are talking about. And you get Audyssey to deal with room funkiness. | |
| Speaker cable length The biggest issue with mismatched cables is resale as you swap them out, cuz in this game you will, just part of it. Resale is not going to happen unless someone has your specific configuration. If you do inexpensive, or DIY doesn’t matter. | |
| Vinyl Blinds I’ve got a good amount of glass as well and went to the heavy fabric blinds as mentioned above. Works very well. | |
| High Output Preamp for First Watt SIT-3? Gotta say, the XA25 is an excellent choice and shoots much higher than it is “rated”. Pass very conservatively rated the amp with a .01% THD wattage measurement, at the typical 1% THD measurement it’s actually over three times higher. It really is... |
