T+A Class D Amps ( M200 or A200)?
I listened to the T+A amps and preamp.  It sounded excellent.  I’m leaning towards trying a Benchmark amp if I audition again.  I keep going back to my Rotel amp and preamp.  I love the sound and putting out 350 WPC at 4 ohms is plenty for my Reve... 
Whats playing on your system today?
Tedeschi Trucks Band and Gov’t Mule.  Getting pumped for the show in 10 days.   
The verdict - Burmester 232 is worth MUCH MUCH MUCH more than its price!!!
Congratulations!  Please add your system picture to your profile so all on this site can see under the “virtual systems”.  Enjoy!    
Streamers rabbit hole
Another vote for Innuos.  You can choose the one that fits your budget.  Used are available and they hold their value.  Their Sense app is easy to use and the customer service and community are very helpful.  Mine has a CD ripper too which is grea...

Deep Purple - Made in Japan.  The super deluxe CD and BluRay set they just released.  The Steve Wilson remix is excellent.  It jumps out of the speakers compared to the original album I’ve listened to for years.  Working my way through all 3 conce...

Led Zeppelin II - just setup a pair of Sonos Move 2 on the wall in stereo and it’s a great test to hear the sound bounce back and forth across the soundstage.  Plus it’s an awesome album.    
God, I hate to ask this…
Sorry to hear about your health issues.  Hope all goes well.  As far as your equipment I’ve had similar thoughts as I prepare for the inevitable.  I told my wife and kids to not just have a yard sale to get rid of all of my equipment and physical ...

The Who - Live at the Oval 1971.  It was just released today.  Great to hear the Who in their prime.    
What speakers compete with GR Research?
There are some manufacturers that build quality speakers with excellent components at competitive prices.  Arendal 1961 and 1723 lines are competitive.   
Speaker recommendations welcomed
Another vote for the Arendal 1723 towers and Revel PerformaBe F226Be.  The Arendals have a buy, try for 45 days and return for free policy if you’re not satisfied so a great place to start.   
Qobuz Connect
I had an issue early on that I could only play Hi-Res songs on Qobuz Connect.  It would see the non-Hi-Res song on the playlist and skip over it.  I went back to using the Sense app with my Innuos Zen MK3 streamer.  Then it would sometimes cutoff ...

Deep Purple - Made in Japan.  The Steve Wilson remix just released.  Does the guy ever sleep?  Sounds better than ever.  I remember asking my Dad to buy me the album back in the day.  Space Trucking was an entire side.  Those were the days.   
My impressions of the much Hyped LAIV Harmony DAC (I ordered one and Listened to it.)
Agree with listening to Hans before buying.  He preferred the Holo Audio Cyan 2 DAC.  So do I.  It’s difficult to buy off of recommendations.  So many positive reviews and a few negative reviews with most equipment.  You paid a high price for an u... 
Will these subwoofer be enough ?
In my experience 2 subs sounded much better than one in the 2 systems I’ve setup.  Started with just one both times.  Best to plan for 2 in my opinion.   
Do you recall "instant improvement" from your first stand-alone DAC ?
For me yes.  My first stand alone DAC was an Eversolo A6.  It sounded like a veil had been lifted listening to my favorite test songs.  I tried about 10 more with mixed results.  Ended up with the Holo Audio Cyan 2 which sounded the best to me wit...
