| NPS-Q45T on internal amplifier fuses Thanks folks! I feel so much better now. | |
| Fritz Speakers I have a pair of Carrera BE’s and they are INCREDIBLE at high OR low volume! | |
| My Oppo 105 finally bricked. Streamer suggestions? Look at a Magna Mano Ultra MK3. I have one (using Volumio) and LOVE it. I think that it can be had for right around 1k. | |
| Streaming – Discovering Similar or New Music I subscribe to several services to get more sources of inspiration. Apple, Deezer and Qobuz are all great with this but with Deezer being the standout . | |
| Advice for bookshelf speakers I have a pair of Ascend Sierra 2EX and they did not play well at all close to walls. I now have some Fritz Carrera’s and they are MUCH,MUCH better overall ((while also being more expensive) and also can play closer to walls. However, that is real... | |
| Streamer advice I’m with Fuzztone. I just received that streamer today as an upgrade from the BlueSound 2i and the difference in sound quality is frankly astonishing! | |

| Mass-loading subwoofer Ha ha! zlone that’s a unique idea but where would I go about buying that? What is everyone’s thoughts on the “bundled” flooring idea? If I remember correctly, a 50# bundle was about $60-70. The bags of steel shot were pretty reasonable too. | |
| Mass-loading subwoofer … actually, I do think that it’s always good to get a completely different perspective from the way you are currently thinking so maybe I really shouldn’t limit advice at all. Thanks again! | |
| Mass-loading subwoofer Thanks for the responses folks! I DO realize that Rel themselves dissuade against using a platform but with my current flooring it does seem to work better. Yes, it IS an expensive subwoofer but I paid less for it (used) than most other midl... | |

| Need a DAC Recommendation. I second the Qutest. It really sounds wonderful in my system. |
