Re: Cables for new - dCS - Gryphon - Magico - system

Re: Iso Acoustic Footers
my Gaia 2’s opened the bass and mid range but sounded off on carpet. It wasn’t until I put a set of their carpet spikes on, found gold at that point.

Re: High end audio predictions and wish lists for 2021
I’d like to see more moderately priced intergrated amps that aren’t detuned, so the separates have a sound advantage.
More streamers with better sounding internal dacs. -
