Does anyone know if there is a cheaper alternative to the official Meze 99 Balanced Cable?

Hi, Looking at getting some new headphones, for primarily listening on the go. Was looking at Dali IO-6, which I can audition and have heard great reviews, signature sound is what I like. As BT headphone can't give CD/HI Res quality, I thought I could use the cable with the Dali's but have...

Few good options there. Arcam and Roksan were models I looked at before I got the Creek. The Creek was bough blind, due to no HIFI shops in my area. We have one now who stocks Arcam and Dali, so can audition with them. I was reading up on the Roksan Attessa and seems to be getting good...

I did suggest that, more just to see what's out there. He's only really heard my hifi and another mate he has that's into hifi. Believe that guys is NAD gear. Just happy to have another mate that's into it as most of mine think I waste my money haha

Thanks for the reply. Kinda thought would be about 1k in price to upgrade. Rega gear has a good rep, not that I've heard any. Yes, I went with the Dali Oberon 5, delighted with them, their size are great, just melt into background and you forget you have floor standers. Like the sound that...

So posted in streaming section about keeping my Creek Evo 2 and upgrading my Blusound node 2i or going for a streamer amp. Was saying to my mate who's fancying getting himself into hifi. He asked me what amplifier/price range he would need to look at for same sort of quality as he likes my...

Cheers, worth a look as well.

Thanks for the reply. I won't be upgrading for a wee while yet as still putting funds together. I do like the sound but feel could be better. More of a question for when I eventually upgrade. As I just wanted some opinions from different perspective to explore

So, been thinking about one box system as I mainly listen to streaming now. I'd go as far as about £2,800 for a streaming amp. Looking at the usual suspects, Arcam SA30, CA Evo 75 and 150 and Uniti Atom just to name a few. But I'm kinda not wanting to give up on my Creek Evo 2 amp as it's...

Thanks again for all the suggestions, apologies not replied before now. I decided on the Dali Oberon 5's, arrived today. First impressions of them on my system is a grin on my face. Not a audiophile so won't try reviewing using the jargon. But compared to my old quads, I am having fun...

I agree, I've only every upgraded 3 to 4 times with various components in 20 odd years. I think for myself anyway it's not getting caught up into upgrading everything just because you do one thing. Definitely got more options to think about now. Those Dali's definitely sound intriguing...

I get the feeling with some of the suggestions, price wise anyway that I may well of been selling my creek short just looking at sub £500 - £600 speakers like KEF Q350. Not thats there is anything wrong with KEF's from what I have read

It is worth maybe holding off a wee bit. The more I look into the initial speakers I thought I was adamant at looking at to buy the more pop up to change your mind. Was same with process for streamer. Guess that's the beauty of hifi, keeps you 2nd guessing yourself at times

They look like nice quality speakers, the Arros too. Think used market could open up a lot more options, especially speakers that be out of my budget brand new

Ye I have a old pair off quadrasphere evo speaker stands. Never tried floorstanders before so probably just why I've stuck to standmounts
