    What itnerconnect for a slightly warm system? How much do I spend ?

    Good morning, ladies and gents, I desperately need your help, choosing an analogue interconnect.I have quit wondering if a better cable would make a difference - the Furutech ADL Formula 2 USB cable indeed offers a deeper soundstage and better punch and dynamics, exactly as Whathifi review...

    dac or sound card help

    Do not compare apples to... watermelons, both devices are that different.The rPac is a stereo-only DAC, and the Asus has some gaming effects and better audio support for them.If you do not mind having a stereo, instead of multi-channel audio, then the rPac is miles away better.Many people have...

    Would anyone help me - what interconnect and USB cable for this setup ?

    Good evening! I like the forum idea of " tweaking the system to the max ".Mine is basic, but the amp kicks ass.I have spent many nights, reading reviews and forums, and I cannot stand it anymore - there is no way to try and buy...Here is what I currently have, a modest system that sits on my...

    Any help for a newbie? Yamaha A-S500?

    Hello! The BX2 sounds dry and not musical at all, compared to Boston Acoustics A26, and I strongly recommend the better balanced and detailed A25.Go for a second hand amp, like the HK6550, it would destroy AS500, PM6004 - I had the chance to compare them all, side by side, with the both models...

    Need help (Speaker selection )

    Hello! Avoid the Tannoy like the plague, I auditioned this model, connected to a great amp, the HK6550.Forum members were right - these speakers have exceptionally clean highs, nice detai, but zero bass, attack and presence.I would not use them even if they were for free.I played various...

    Good Amp for Q-acoustics 2050i for around £350?

    Hello! I was in the same dillema like you, and I was adviced to look for HK 6550 amp, that would wipe the floor with AS500/PM6004.I had a chance to audition it together with HK 6500 on various bookshelf speakers.The forum members where right - PM6004 is a joke, compared to the HK 6550.Go second...

I can share my deep, personal experience with you, sir.I went to audition some bookshelf speakers in a small shop, that is very close to what a small room is, nothing was isolated.I have auditioned Mordaunt Short Aviano 2, KEF Q100, some expensive Quadral Argentum 330, JBL ES 30, Tannoy...

    Is HK 6550 worth it and suitable for those bookshelf speakers ? Three questions...

    Thank you a lot for answering! My bad, I edited my previous post, it is 102 € and not 120 €.I`ll have to buy the amp first, it is being sold in a pawn shop, so there is no way to audition anything, I do not even know what defects should I look for.The bookshelf speakers are being sold online and...

    Is HK 6550 worth it and suitable for those bookshelf speakers ? Three questions...

    Hello, gents! I play lots of flac files and MP3 files from my PC, and it is time to upgrade.I found some strange forum postings that some people prefer the HK 6550 instead of Roksan Kandy K2, which sounds ridiculous.I found the HK 6550 used for only 102 € / 80 GBP in my city, is that price fair...
