| Bluesound "upgrade" 4.0 I had a list of issues with both the Mac desktop version as well the Android app that was too long to list. I was having serious doubts, but all appears well now. Whew! Amazing how much I rely on my streaming system and how frustrating it can be... | |
| Sansui? Might want to check in with the Audiokarma website. Those folks are knowledgeable on the vintage stuff and you're less likely to encounter a flame war. | |

I don't have really expensive DAC's, but what I do have are: Bryston BDA2 Dedicated DAC Internal DAC on my McIntosh C47 preamp Internal DAC on my HEGEL H160 integrated Topping D30 Pro Dedicated DAC Internal DAC on my Bluesound player When I ... | |
| Ground Loop? I once had a ground loop thet crept up when I had my preamplifier on one circuit and my amplifier on the other. These circuits came from different phases in my main breaker box. When I got the amp and preamp on the same phase the issue went away. ... | |
| Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like? I forgot to mention that the NAD C298 is a class D design. | |

| New Technics SL-1200GR2 I read a lot of good things about the Technics brand. When did they really up their game? I remember back when they were a RadioShack brand and just ok. I believe they were manufactured by Panasonic and maybe others back then. | |
| Pathetic range of Topping remote @czarivey I've never heard anyone use the term "vertically challenged" until I read it here. | |
| The Ultimate Audio Modification: Golden Ears Wouldn't a set of hearing aids also have its own sonic signature? | |
| Hegel H160 and longevity I have the H160 and not experienced the issue you mention. Once, and only once when I switched it on, no music. I had to unplug it from the power source and reenergize it--music returned. That is the only issue experienced. | |
| Speaker that are 'KEEPERS" for the long haul!!! I have owned Harbeth 40.2 on my primary audio rig for around 4 years and have no desire to change. On a secondary system I have homemade speakers that contain Seas dual concentric drivers and really enjoy the accuracy of that sound. | |
