Any tips?

yeah I'd prefer cables for best quality, BT isn't there yet

running a cable out isn't sending a digital out? how can I know if it's possible on my phone? I have a xiaomi mi 9s running android 11 I see, so not superior product at this range? is the iFi zen good or should I save to up my budget? what is the next price step?

so I read some reviews which all said with replaced tubes it sounds great, but am not sure which ones I should get. I saw the names of EH(25$ for Russian ones), Baldwin(28$ for Japan ones and 20$ for US ones) and RCA(25$ for US ones) for the 12AU7 tube. I don't have the money to get all of them...

thanks, happen to have any ideas for good DAC I should look into at the 150 euro level?

so I'm running sometimes my phone to the amp and out to focal 906 and I feel some of the songs could be improved even tho I'm using a lot of flac files and running high quality cable. I'm not sure if the amp has any dac and if so if its a good one or should I buy one for around 100-150eur? if so...

@Al ears @rainsoothe I've decided to up my budget and to go to listen to the focal 906, the guy offered me them and the stand mounts at half price and said they been used about half a year, also offered me an yahmaha r-s700 reciver at 430 usd instead of 730 usd new from local stores, said he is...

I'll check the stands out. I saw some reviews said they are a bit too bright, if I do get them is there a way to make up for that with the amp / phono preamp or I shouldn't expect much change in that area of sound? What do you mean by relaxing listen? Like warm soft listen? I see, so I could...

I'm planning on getting the b&w ones(B&W STAV24 S2 Speaker Stands) are they good or should I get different ones? thanks for the tip! will check it out

@Al ears @rainsoothe hey, I need some quick advice, I found some b&w 606 used(bought half a year ago, still 4.5 years of warranty) for 750$ instead of the 1150$ that they cost here in Israel new. I talked with him and will go to hear them tomorrow and might buy them, what do you think about...

Hey, I did a list of price difference of my local stores(in Israel) and the price that whathifi tested at them and would love to get your thoughts on what should I get(yea I know its crazy markup, a high vat tax + customs taxes) Dali Spektor 2- tested at 260$ and locally are 420(161% more) Elac...

Got it, will search for some 2nd hand. Yea I plan on getting stands for them later, still need to see where I'll place them in the room Ty, will check them out, got recommended also the wharfedale 225/220, what do you think about them?

Got it, what do you say about second hand brio instead of new io? Those things are reliable? No warranty isn't a big deal? Ty

I see, but if like the other user said the io phono is better than mine isn't it worth to upgrade it? I'm not gonna use pc, just vinyl and some wav files from my phone(which Im ok with using aux to rca like I use now straight in to the edifer's) what would you do in that case? also I'll try...

oh now I got it, do you think the Yamaha is better than Rega io? ty for the explanation, so any way I keep my phono pre amp and this goes to preamp of and integrated amp and it goes to the passive speakers, right? so getting the Rega io is gonna be good for the Elac's 2.0 b6.2? is the money...
