who makes custom speakon speaker cables for the Benchmark AHB2?
I tried to respond but Audiogon blocked my post.  Oh well.    
Aurender Conductor App Question
I don’t know the answer to your question regarding use of the LAN, but I know you can copy files to an USB thumb drive and set up the folder structure and names on the USB thumb drive anyway you like, using a computer. Then, you can connect the US... 
Help me pick a Dac
Your Node stands out at the inexpensive - entry level consumer component.    
Basic Music Purchase Question
Thanks everyone.  I bought the SSD, installed it, formatted it, brought the album and loaded it on to the N150.  Everything worked great.    
Benchmark AHB2 in Mono Block Configuration
@jfrmusic I know what I would do.  I would order the 2nd AHB2 and compare it to your single amp and see if you can tell a difference.  I would also get a home demo of the Bryston and demo it against the single and dual AHB2.   That is a perfect co... 
Benchmark AHB2 in Mono Block Configuration
You can easily try the AHB2 with the option to return. Is there anyway to demo the Bryston with an option to return it? Even if this cost a few hundred for the trial, it would be worth it. Ideally, you would have both for a week or so and then dec... 
Why don't we tire of music?
Good post.  Bliss's 2nd paragraph hits home with me. Music allows you to commit it to memory and just enjoy how you feel because of it. This is precisely why many people call it a drug, because the experience a particular song or composition can ... 
New Streamer, DAC or Let it Be
@traubr I suggest you try establishing a path for your two channel signal that does not go through the AVR. I know your AVR is an expensive one, but that would be where I would start. I noticed an improvement when I removed the AVR from the chain,... 
New Streamer, DAC or Let it Be
So that others and I know, do you use the AVR as your volume control?  What is your music listening path from the node  streamer to the speakers?  Thanks.    
A quick question on what streamers to consider.......
+1 to @ghdprentice I recently picked up an Aurender N150 from Bliss HiFi. Juan at Bliss is amazing to work with and I received the product in 1 day. Each streamer brand will have its quirks. Overall I am happy with the Conductor app subject to th... 
Aurender Conductor App Question
I might need to start a new thread, but I will try here first. I am unable to add a song to a playlist in conductor v4.  It worked, then stopped working so I reinstalled the app to get it working (after trying the usual steps).  Now it is not work... 
Amp — Leave on or turn off
Have you listened in the morning before when the amp was off all night and had a different result?   Personally, after being in a dead quiet room for 8 hours, my ears are much more sensitive in the morning then the night before.  Even when I liste... 
Here's to the temperate, the gentle, the moderates in audio
Well said.  I would like to add @ghdprentice and @blisshifi to the list.    
Streamer/DAC/Crossover Combo
I keep hearing about miniDSP but don't know much about it or it's SQ.   
Sonus Faber Sonetto V’s Thoughts Requested
@dbeckwith It is great to ask others for their impressions, however, it would be best if you can listen to the Sonetto’s as well as many other speakers as you can. Music often appeals to people on an emotional level such that when you hear the ’r...
