  1. Masterbuilt Ultra RCA 1M Interconnects

    Masterbuilt Ultra RCA 1M Interconnects

    Up for sale is a Masterbuilt Ultra RCA pair of interconnects (1 meter). This is the end-game cable. I found on my digital rig putting these between my DAC and preamp was as astounding of a system upgrade as upgrading previous source gear. The last pair of Ultra interconnects that was listed that...

    Makes sense to me!

    Please recommend some Monoblock Amps

    I'm really curious. Why only monoblocks? There are some incredible stereo amplifiers these days.

    Please recommend some Monoblock Amps

    You should check out AudioNet. With an 18k budget you could get used AudioNet Amp monos and have money to spare on some very nice stuff. I used to run the APL DSD SR Mk II DAC with an Innuos Zenith SE server. It was pure liquid digital with detail to match.

    You might also consider use Nearfield Acoustic Pipedream speakers.

    Simplifying the System

    I often think about trying the X1 instead of my DAC, server setup.

    Seeking an R2R DAC recommendation for a tube preamp and tube amp system

    In this price point the Rockna Wave light might be good for you. They also have a matching server (maybe not out yet) that would be a big step up from a Mac Mini. I also know someone who might be selling their Phison PD2SE, which is what I have been running for years.

    Moving to a new house and so many questions!

    Hey guys! A new job came which is causing me to relocate. I am approaching move-in and have some questions beforehand to hopefully get things organized before I set up my audio rig. The room is about 14'6" by 24' with a drop ceiling. The ceiling is about 7'6". I'm debating on removing the drop...

    Speaker to better fit my room

    It is a dedicated room. I actually got incredible results toeing in the speakers a out an inch and a half and moving the subs. Still working on it. Once I get that ideal I will mark the setup and try the long wall with treatments behind the listening location.

    Speaker to better fit my room

    I'll keep an eye out. Would those work in my space?

    Speaker to better fit my room

    Previously I had a much larger room and the Nearfield Acoustic 18 speakers thrived. I don't expect to get these in a much bigger room as fast as I was expecting so will likely end up selling to get something more reasonable... I love the dynamics and punch of the Pipedreams but fear some of the...
