| What, in your opinion, should the rules be for YouTube Reviews? @rsf507 It's worse than that. They didn't even have a sample to listen, so they only used pictures of the inside. This according to the OP. I agree with his assessment and yours. You cannot judge the sound by listening to a YT video or looking a... | |

| Upgrading your system three options DAC, Cartridge or speaker cables??? +1 @big_greg The teac sounds very good. The caveat is poor setup instructions and network issues I encountered. In my case the need for a tablet that I could see.. Somehow I got the bugs out. But this is my first streamer | |

| Any Brands You “Hate” because of a bad dealer experience many years ago? I'll see your Z1 & raise you a Yammy XS11 Special. Luxman is the brand that I see and just pass by hurriedly.
