| First Streamer... Like some here I have the Bluesound system. I have a Node 2 in one HI FI system and a Vault in another.. I have ripped all my CD’s to the Vault. Interesting note, if one has a hard drive with music on it, like I did with CD’s ripped to Itunes, the... | |
| Magnepan .7 Alternatives Look at Tekton. I have maggies and vandersteen and bought a pair of Double Impacts SE. Wow, big bass slam with clarity. Get the 4 ohm of whatever model will fit your space. IMO. I have not let go of my MMGs or Vandys. I think the sonic signature i... | |
| What Gear is Universally Adored? nyev Okay I am going to contribute and please no offense meant to your choice of words. Although I don’t own them I would really, really like to try Volti Audio Vittora speaker system. I think the Magico speakers belong on your list (just pick ... | |
| What Gear is Universally Adored? I don’t use the word "adore" or "love" when talking about stereo equipment. I like some pieces alot and others I don’t. Sorry those words are used for more precious and human things. | |
| Schiit Audio No problems with Schiit Bifrost, then Uber upgrade and last year another Bifrost 2 and Schiit Freya +. I think they are high volume because they make affordable HI FI gear. I have been very happy with Schiit Audio components. | |
| The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them I have always looked at TAS, and Stereophile mags as pure entertainment, it is very rare that I take their opinions seriously. It's like a comic book magazine... | |

| Line Magnetic 805ia vs high end seperates I would not sell the LM Audio. It’s a great unit. I would keep it and get a tube preamp to try the new setup. See if you like it after awhile. I noticed that my LM Audio 216i (push/pull) got a little hot. I built a small wooden open enclosure, lik... | |
| Where did you buy your first audio gear? Guys.... very cool stories. Olson and Radio Shack. Ahhh those were the good ole days. | |

| Recommendations for HiFi Listening Room Looks like the dealers hands are already trying to get into your pocket. Oddiofyl gives great advice. You really should look around and try different brands, systems. I like Vandersteen Quatro CT, Ayre and Magnepan as brands mentioned to listen to... | |
| 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. |
