| What are/were the best sounding cheap components you have ever had? I am afraid to say "nothing in hi-fi is cheap", There are a few bargains, but they are far to few to mention. Schiit audio comes to mind. | |
| NODE as just a streamer / Airplay device I have been using a Node 2 and later a Vault. I was using the Node 2 wired and then accessed ripped CDs through my network to a MyCloud HDD. Later I transferred all aiff files to the Vault HDD and started to rip future cds into the Vault. Both Nod... | |
| Magico Ultimate III - $700,000 Speakers I could not pay $700k for speakers. Even if I were Bill Gates with his kind of cash. | |
| Need help deciding on a new amp I bet the Willsenton R800i would sound great. My other choice would be the Parasound A2+ or Integrated. | |
| Need help deciding on a new amp You will have to consider how hard it will be to drive you MA speakers. That is an important 1st question. Hard to drive speakers require more current and bigger transformers, bigger caps. There are always class D amps, but I think a good sounding... | |

| Bluesound Node (2021) PS upgrade to Teddy Pardo; is it worth it? I did exactly what cetla416 did. I ordered the brick unit with the board from Creative and the total was less than $180. I got the same good results. | |
| I am no longer getting MQA? Why bother knocking Qobuz or MQA when you can have both? I mean the cost of the subscriptions is nothing to what people here pay for their audio systems. It seems childish to bicker about what is good and what isn’t? | |
