Schiit yggdrasil + Less Is More vs. Denafrips Pontus II
Alvin is one of the most stand up guys in the industry. He always gives truthful replies why would he fib about there being no fuse in the Pontus 12th? He is not the manufacturer but does know every inch and circuit of everything Vinshine distribu... 
Another "Best" amplifier Question.
I like the Parasound P6 / PS audio suggestion as I considered that for my own use.I went with the A 23+ because its no lightweight at 27 lbs but it is doable. I have not experienced the PS Audio Stellar but my understanding it is a "full bodied" c... 
Another "Best" amplifier Question.
I own the KEF R3's and I have it paired to a Parasound A 23+(160 wpc) and it is fantastic match. A Parasound Hint 6 intergrated will deliver everything you are seeking power,presence and the ohm range is there 2-8 Ohms. and you are correct the R3... 
Marantz pm8006 vs Denon PMA-1700NE for combined home theatre and music room
@cainullah I have not experienced the 8300A but I have listened to 2 examples of Audiolab 6000a based systems and the SQ from the Audiolabs was outstanding; the Audiolab sound and quality of amplification in their units is top notch. I don’t want ... 
Damn !! I keep coming back to my Emit 20s!
@greatwhite11 been awhile since you posed this question,kinda like a message in a bottle 😂 I recently purchased the revised Emit 20,I am assuming the Emit’s you have or had were the Emit M 20? In any case have you found something you like more an... 
Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update
I have the Marantz 6006CD and one of things I like most about it is the warm tone but it does lack some detail so your ears are not playing tricks on you.I perfer to use it stand alone,most of my CD’s are jazz and vocal and I perfer the warmer sou... 
Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update
I communicated with Alvin last week and he told me all Denfrips products are currently shipping with the latest firmware.What I’d be curious to know is if folks who purchased a Pontous 12th in the FB group are experiencing the same issue with the ...

@sgreg1 Why dude? If you conduct yourself in a respectful fashion I’ll do the same. Veiled attacks and name calling is cowardly the other poster has nothing to do with you and others disagreeing with me. No need to drag someone else into whatever... 
Marantz pm8006 vs Denon PMA-1700NE for combined home theatre and music room
@kota1 I don’t care about ANOTHER review you want to cite,my point is Anthem avr’s and processors performed superior for me to Marantz etc. period. That is my perspective based on my experience. Yes the bass is a little lean after running ARC (and... 
Marantz pm8006 vs Denon PMA-1700NE for combined home theatre and music room
I agree, there is no need to spend $2799 but I will say this. I've gone though the same upgrade,room addition sceanarios and auditioned every major brand of HT in the past 20 years and for the money nothing comes close to the Anthem AVR's. If you ... 
Marantz pm8006 vs Denon PMA-1700NE for combined home theatre and music room
@alucard19 $2799 is a steal the MRX 1120 is still top notch gear. What I love about your unit (and all Anthem products) is ALL channels driven ratings lots of folks are fooled by the specs with Marantz and Denon units. Your 5 channels will blow o... 
Marantz pm8006 vs Denon PMA-1700NE for combined home theatre and music room
@cainullah +2 on considering an Anthem AVR I have the MRX series and I can attest to the the musicality of Anthem AVR's they sound much better than Marantz and Denon for music. The great thing about the MRX series is the main five channels are a/b...

@soix I've come to the same conclusion about you. All the best.  
Gustard R26
@soix No I do do not run cables from my WIRELESS streamer(s) to my mesh node (which by the way is simply a wireless router that can be daisy chained) a simple google of the Asus AiMesh would have cleared that up for you and what I'm talking about....

@soix @jjss49 Now we are name calling...A MESH system is a type WI-FI system.They are not two different protocals it is baffling how commited you are to something you obviously know nothing about.to the point of name calling. It truly amazes me h...
