Ugliest Component of the Year 2024!
Lubachi, that’s it!   Looks like some kind of flower that would grow in the Invasion of the Body Snatchers.  Run for your lives!   Ahhhhhh!    
Ugliest Component of the Year 2024!
Great list so far.  Mc is definitely not for everyone.  If it has those blue meters I could go for it.  Glowing green tubes just add to the fun.  My question with Tekton is, when do they know they’ve added enough drivers?  When they reach the top ...

Talking Heads are excellent.  I’ve been listening to the reissue of Talking Heads 77.  Great stuff.   
2 separate sets of speakers one amp
I use a NEOHIPO ET30 and it works well.  Has a remote to switch between up to 2 amps and 2 sets of speakers.  It also has 2 light up meters that you can adjust for the swing sensitivity and color.  A poor man’s Mc meters if you will.  Got mine on ... 
The HARD ROCK & HEAVY METAL Thread Continued
So many tracks from the 1st 5 Black Sabbath albums.  I’ll pick a few. War Pigs - from their 2nd album Paranoid. Fairies Wear Boots - from their 1st album Black Sabbath. Children of the Grave - from Master of Reality. Snowblind - from Volume 4.... 
Moving from a stereo amp to a dual mono set up
Thanks for sharing your experience.  We’ve probably all been there.  It’s why this hobby is a journey and not a destination.  Enjoy the journey.  If not it’s like taking the kids on a long car ride on vacation with shouts of, Are we there yet?  Ar...

Looking for High Quality Streamer Only Options (NO DAC)?
Another vote for Innuos.  I have the Zen Mk3 that I bought from a great local dealer used for $1800.  The Innuos Sense app is the best interface I’ve used.  Excellent customer support with upgrades online as needed.    
Audiovana disconnects from Qobuz after several days of nonuse
Not sure if you are shutting your unit down or keeping it on and just not using it for a few days.  If you are leaving it on there are no issues with Qobuz currently.  I run a Innuos Zen Mk3 and I just used it after letting it sit idle for 2 days....

Downsizing from tower to bookshelf
I did the same thing moving from towers to standmounts. Sibilance was important to me. I’ve tried a lot of speakers and my old guy ears can’t stand any sibilance. I tried the B&W 705 S3, KEF 3 Metas along with others and ended up with the Reve... 
Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all?
You’re not crazy.  The sonic differences in upgrades become more subtle once you have high quality components in my experience.  I have moved from integrated components to separates over the years.  The biggest differences were in the speakers, DA...

The Dead in 77 were at the top of their game.  I Have a few 77 concerts including the legendary Cornell 5/8/77 show.  Long live the Dead!    
Tune of the Day
“Day of the Eagle”  Robin Trower   
Do you have a perfect digital marriage?
I have a happy marriage but I have a problem with monogamy.  I’ve dated a lot of streamers and DACs over the years.  I’m now in a committed relationship with my Innuos Zen Mk3 streamer with a Pine Tree Audio USB cable connected to my Holo Audio Cy...
