Upgrade my DAC or buy more weed?
From my personal experience on the matter, which I would argue I have more of than anyone else here, weed dulls the senses if used regularly.  If used occassionally, it skews it.  Some people find this skewd perciption as pleasurable to the listen... 
What is going on? No-one buys good stuff priced right.
I've noticed that the audio market has slowed down where Im at as well.  I've been trying to sell a pair of speakers for 8 months.  I've only received 1 lowball offer.  The speakers are priced well.  2 years old, light use at moderate levels, perf... 
What to do?
Its definitely the pre amp section of the Peachtree that is junk.  It happened on my Nova Pre as well.I only have 2 components hooked up to the Nova 220se.  A playstation via optical, and a wadia 170i via coax.  Its not my electrical outlet as I'v... 
What to do?
Still have the Peachtree 220se.  Im sending it back next week. Ohnhwy61, to answer your question, the volume control makes the noise when turning it by hand and not using the remote. 
What to do?
Onhwy61, thats a great question.  I'll look into that.  Regardless, I use the remote too much for that not to be a deal breaker.All sound advice.  I guess I just needed to hear it.  I really am emotionally attached to the Nova 220se based on looks... 
Amps that Mate well with the Lightspeed Attenuator (LSA)
Id just sell me your lightspeed and move on 
Should I get a second sub or a higher quality single sub?
Thanks for that, Duke.  Informative! 
Which amp/preamp/integrated for GoldenEar Triton 5's
Glad you like the 220se.  Mine has started sounding better now after burning in for a week or so now.  I have some small Monitor GX50's that are a little inefficient and need alot of power to open up; the Peachtree 220se does a great job of adding... 
Can you smell your speakers when youre rockin out?
Don, if you're my neighbor I'm sorry ;)  The smell I was / am smelling is just the glue, wood, insulation, possibly wiring.  Speakers just have a certain smell and to me it's a good smell!  Happy smelling! 
Which amp/preamp/integrated for GoldenEar Triton 5's
First off, I have had a boatload of equipment over the past 5 years so I have tried quite a bit of different equipment (I find its part of the fun in the hobby).  With that in mind, I recently purchased a B stock Nova 220se and love it!  I find th... 
Tidal vs. Spotify
So essentially Im going in circles.  I'll try to explain.  I am trying to resign up for the Spotify Premium subscription but I forgot my password.  When I request that they e-mail me they say that my e-mail is not associated with an active account... 
Nola Boxer 2 vs. Paradigm Studio20 V5?
I agree with the last posts as well.  Never heard the Ascends but I am a fan of ribbon tweeters and Raal especially.  I have heard the Boxers with a pair of Rel T5's at Synergistic Researches room at RMAF and it is still in my top 10 best systems ... 
Tidal vs. Spotify
Okay, so I'm trying to resubscribe to Spotify Premium simply because the playlists and music selection smokes Tidal.  It seems like Jay Z is just pushing a bunch of rap crap.  Blah.Anywho, Spotify Premium was an absolute pain to cancel, now I'm fi... 
Nola Boxer 2 vs. Paradigm Studio20 V5?
Albireo, I had the 10's,20's,60's, and sig 2's.  I thought they were all bright sounding apart from the Sig 2.  They studios were all version 5.  They are bright speakers!  Sell them, buy the DeCapos and get a sub later on!   
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Charles 1Dad, thanks for the reply!  Thats the quick, to the point, constructive response.  I have a Peachtree 220se right now: where would I install this fuse? I'll give it a shot if it will work in my application!
