Something Fishy with Brian Hoyer
It looks like the OP joined on 10/17/2023. Sorry about your bad luck. BTW I always liked Brian Hoyer when he was playing for the Browns. At least we didn’t pay $230 guaranteed money for a QB who hasn’t played that many games. He has paid lawsuits ... 
CD Transport
Yeah that one and the Bricasti should make sweet sound. If it does not, I would be very surprised indeed. Tell us your thoughts later.  
CD Transport
Sony built some of the best CD players ever with the X and XA models as examples. Particularly in the 1990's decade. They were better than many ES models. The CD mechanism was engineered like a Rolex watch. I wish Sony still made CD players like t... 
CD Transport
I agree with baylinor. I have the Jay's Audio Cdt2 MK2. It's a great top loader. very simple design, dual mono and balanced output.  
New Speaker advice
Yeah Focal knows how to make a good sounding speaker. I think many brands can sound good with the right pairing of electronics. I have Vandersteen speakers in one stereo setup and Tekton with tubes in another audio system. I am spoiled in that I h... 
New Speaker advice
Yeah I agree with mofojo those 1027BE's look very tempting. But also I  would keep looking, keep listening. LOTS of fish in the sea. I took my time when I got my speakers....  
Lumin Inside? The Audiolab 9000N Streamer, a Lumin in sheeps clothing?
Every audio product had hype attached to it. It’s called advertising. But also overly excited children (fanboys) who just opened the box of a new toy. Cost often determines the quality of a product ...but many times... it does not.  
Bluesound Vault position
61falcon Another option to explore if you can. I have two audio systems and two vertical racks. I found that running out of equipment space is a real issue. If you have enough height on 1 shelf in your rack you can make or buy a small metal, wood... 
Bluesound Vault position
My thought is this. You are trying to place a square peg in a round hole. If the Vault could do this, don’t you think the engineers, designers and advertising dept would have listed that as an option? If you place it in your rack vertical and it w... 
Which to keep! Pick one of these two soeakers
IMO you should be able to pick your own speakers?  I guess I don't understand what you are asking? You own both pair now, yes? You can configure them how you like, yes? You can listen to both and decide which pair sounds best? no???  
New to Streaming
I have been using Bluesound for about 6-8 years now. I own the Node 2, Vault 2 and now the Node X. I agree it’s a great player with a great OS/User interface. The Node X now comes with a remote. The Node X internal DAC is a huge improvement in sou... 
Does an upgrade make sense?
I will second the suggestion of dual subwoofers. I did this and it was a great improvement and really opened up and extended the lower frequencies. I don't like SVS subwoofers (long story) but REL and Rythmik are solid choices for audio. It can be... 
John Strohbeen from Ohm Acoustics passed away
RIP for sure. I have admired the design and sound of his speakers for some time. I never had a pair but an old school friend had an old pair and they always sound fantastic. I kinda wish I would have bought a pair and I do hope the company keeps g... 
Can you live with your current speaker until you die?
Yes I can live with my speakers for the rest of my life. I feel with each passing year it’s like I walk down the road and at every crossroad there is a guy asking me for money and selling new speakers. The problem with this analogy is that for eve... 
Another Golden Ear test.
Sorry I have no idea what the OP is talking about.
