| Mixed Brand Pre-Amp Power Amp Pairings that Work I have an ARC LS27 preamp paired with a Luxman M900U power amp, Speakers Harbeth 40.2 anniversary. I think that combination works really well. | |

| Thinking Hybrid Integrated. I recently purchased a used Hegel H-160 for my office system. It is paired with B&W 686S2 speakers. I have to say I am quite impressed and would be open to Helge integrated amps, maybe the H390 or H590 for my main setup. | |
| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? I'm not ready for an integrated on my main system of separates. I like it too much to even think about replacing. However, I recently purchased (thank you Craigs List) a used Hegel H160 integrated for my office system and really like it which make... | |
| Digital amplifier fans, NAD C298 Purifi Eigentakt Atmosphere says in plain English what I am slowly finding out: The D amps have a lot of different sound signatures so simply buying a D amp, at least for me, is not as easy as I thought it would be. | |
| Digital amplifier fans, NAD C298 Purifi Eigentakt jedi1, that is one positive review! Nice to hear from folks that own the unit. I'm still doing some research, but the C298 is high on my list. I have some indecision however that relates to the continued evolution of the D technology and the po... | |
| Digital amplifier fans, NAD C298 Purifi Eigentakt JKJK: Understood on the power requirements...I was thinking if I like the amp a lot, I generally like watts in the event I purchase very inefficient speakers. Probably overkill and I'm not likely to buy such speakers, but I'm sometimes a bit illog... | |
| Digital amplifier fans, NAD C298 Purifi Eigentakt I did look the Topping up based on a comment you've made previously. Pretty cool, but a little lite in the wattage department. | |
| Bluesound Node 2021 DAC - I sold my Denafrips Ares II I've done A/B comparisons with internal DAC on Bluesound with Bryston BDA2 and Topping D30 pro and am unable to hear any difference. When I run the DAC's into various preamps I am able to hear some subtle differences, so I'm not completely tone d... | |
| How many systems do you have? Living room = 2 systems (share one set of speakers that are switchable) Dining room = 1 sytem Basement = 1 system Garage/Outdoor = 1 system Bedroom = 1 system Office = 1 system Enough idle components to make another system or two. Oh my God... | |
| Don’t want to freak you out… My hearing is not great so when I'm in a crowded restaurant trying to hear someone across the table, I cup my ears. It works really good. And, yes, I've done it with music with excellent results as well. | |

| Products you added to your system in 2021 that made most impact to your music enjoyment I'm going to cheat a little bit and go back two years since that particular upgrade was my best ever. In 2020 I bought Harbeth 40.2 speakers and realized, for me, focusing on the transducers is the most important part of the audio link. I am no lo... | |
| Do speaker wires have to be the same length for each speaker? Maybe it makes a difference if one line is 250' and the other is 4'. I like to have them at the same length for the superficial symmetry thing. |
