| Visited a Store and was shunned I am on the west coast - California. I must preface - I haven't been to a brick and mortar audio store in decades - not including 'magnolia' -- as brick and mortar audio stores are nearly non existent - there are a few in Palo Alto and SF bay area... | |
| RCA analog cable choices thank you for all of your responses - I am going to 'rent' some cables and just go down that path for a while. Thx. | |
| RCA analog cable choices Thank you for all of the recommendations. Where does Morrow Cables fit into recommendations? Good to go? Cullen Cables? Anti-Cables? I have seen these mentioned on AG several times - so just wondering what the experience if any was good, bad, ind... | |
| RCA analog cable choices @soix Thanks for the suggestions. I will take a look at those. As for sound characteristics -- I listen to all types of music - streaming mostly - quboz. Ranges from jazz to elecronica to rock. So the sound I am looking for is something not fati... | |
| RCA analog cable choices Not using any interconnects as the dac to preamp is a new addition. My other gear is tv, dvd. No other hardware. Years ago I had a Nak and NAD cd players using MIT and Tributaries cables... but that is the extent of my experience with analog cabl... | |

| AV Processor Conundrum I have a marantz 7706 with a monoprice monolith 7ch x 200 amp -- and they sound great together -- No its not a McIntosh or Mark Levinson experience... and - I know monolith is not the usual name that comes up here among the flexers in AG that s... | |
| In the middle of a pandemic, Stereophile reviews ~ $30K equipment Surprised by the responses to this OP... agreed $30k is a lot of money - for any audio gear... but cost is always relative. For a while though I thought I was one of the very few in the audiogon 'family' that ' did not ' have budgets for five and ... | |
| Recommendations for PC -- for modest system -- Thanks for all the input.Other than the concept of dedicated power for 20A line just for AV gear... what will it get me in real world performance? I understand one line - no shared power is better - but - if everything else is 'off' on the that s... | |
| Trying to make sense of the new and improved world of streaming music @ianrmack Point taken. Again. I guess in the future less is more. Although I am sure I will get the universal ' not enough information to answer your question'... but thanks for the input. I solidly appreciate your take on my OP. I have moved on.... | |
| Trying to make sense of the new and improved world of streaming music @ianrmack It wasn't about feeling better. You presented an opinion as a fact. I was clarifying my pov. Calm down. All I am asking for is a bit of professional courtesy. If you are incapable, then move on as I have.I have no ego attached to this, s... | |
| Trying to make sense of the new and improved world of streaming music @ianrmack No need to be a dbag man. I didn't mention a budget because it's irrelevant at this point. And I have done hours, weeks, months of research including this forum. But I wanted specific examples of what others general experience was as it ... | |

| Ethernet Cables -- where do they matter most? @douglas_schroeder thank you. The SONORE seems like a great unit. A bit out of my beer budget, but awesome nonetheless.Fibre is intriguing for sure. I happen to read briefly your article but will re-read it when I have some time for an in depth p... | |
