| Best speakers in the 50-60k range ? My two cents (for what it's worth as I have not auditioned a lot of speakers in that price range) but I was interested in high end, high priced speakers in the not so distant past and ended up hearing some Rethm Saadhana (horns) and was thrilled w... | |
| Top music streamer for 2019? Aurender N10’s? +1 on the Innuos. I have a ZenMini (with optional linear PS) and was astounded by the quality. You can certainly afford the top of the line Zenith MKIII. I think you cant go wrong for sound and price, as well as ease of use. It does come in 1TB ... | |

| Get your First Watt SIT-3 now? JetterNo problem, I am learning the HiFi world and your questions/comments and Al's excellent input is valuable to me in my pursuit of knowledge. As to your situation, I agree with Al. Your speaker efficiency pf 89 might not pair the best with t... | |
| Get your First Watt SIT-3 now? @teo_audioI am not a DIY. You'd think I could as I can rewire a house from weather head to outlet, but I have never worked with transistors. A question becomes - could you switch out the Semi-south SITs to the Tokin SITs on a SIT-3 itself? Or ... | |
| Overwhelmed and under experienced... I don't know as if this reply will be much help but....The Cable debate is huge and as I was interested in new power cables for I spent days reading many hours the opinions on this site and many others. Of course, the recommendations varied almos... | |

| Reco for a low power amp to try I agree with roberjerman I have a First Watt F7 that I LOVE. But initially was powering my 87 dB sensitivity MarkAudio Sota Cesti Bs and at 20 wpc I had to crank it up to get semi-decent volume. My Rethm Maarga at 98 dBs makes a HUGE difference... | |

| What are the best speakers you have ever owned and why? I, too, am relatively new to HiFi, have owned KLH, infinity, MarkAudio-SOTA but recently got a pair of Rethm Maargas. WOW! I guess maybe the horn sound is what I have always been after. And with the powered bass it sounds great.I guess my favor... | |
| Power cord suggestions for Hegel integrated amp/dac? Black Sand Audio has a Violet Z1 MKII (actually on sale at this time) which I found to be great PC upgrade at a reasonable price | |
| Best beginner system about 5,000.00 My two cents:The PS Audio Sprout 100 is a great little integrated amp and only about $600. That leaves 90% of your budget for the other items. You are going to get a million suggestions on speakers, but agree with those who will say you need to ... | |
| Favorite band or artist of all time? Mr Neil Young | |
| Preamp Choice... a hard call for me. Knowing this is all based on your ears and your taste, I recently purchased an Audio Hungary APR 204 pre-amp (paired with a First Watt F7) and the sound is beautiful. I am sure will sound even better as it breaks in. I enjoy the tube pre-amp wit... |
