@exupgh12 Thanks for your responses, much appreciated.  
Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph?

@exupgh12  I read the manual again after your first reply and saw about the extra 6db. As for the sound staging it still is more forward even after dropping the volume on the preamp. What I will say is I thought it was great phono stage before u...

@exupgh12  Interesting I tried xmfr last night hence my question for the 1st time, it's suppose to be a 1:1 transformer but I found it to be a bit louder when switched in using the same volume settings on my preamp. The other most notable differ...

Credenza or media stand for hiding away equipment
Brought up 2 children with my equipment always out in the open. The way my wife and I dealt with it was to tell them with a degree of menace not to touch. It's amazing what the fear of death will do to a child! 😂  
Please be gentle with me! 🙏
@jond my son is 33, but has always loved his music and good sound quality.    
Please be gentle with me! 🙏
@mahler123 The Naim does not have a DAC, hence he has purchased the Bluesound.  
Please be gentle with me! 🙏
Thanks for all your input. Bit of an update, one of the reasons my son bought the Leak 230 was because of its flexibility, he also has a Naim Nait 2 which I bought for him years ago, so in a moment of wisdom as it turns out he decided to try the ...
