Dedicated Music Room Recessed Lighting (High Hats)?
Just finished up my listening room and using led 2700k cans.  Airtight unlike the old style cans. Good dimmer and you are good to goi have a couple of cases of green glue and s few tubes of acoustic caulk if you need them. Russ 
New Cary DMS 700
Some fluff for sure. I think the team at Cary are very excited about their new player.  30 day trial so kinda risk free.  
Warm romantic & detailed
Your Lumin T2 may be your problem. Had one in my system for a couple of weeks. Very detailed , but definitely can definitely get fatiguing over time. Look for a Dac with a AKM chipset or similar Sonics. You will lose a touch of detail but you will...

Bro are you voice to texting?  Do you maybe have spell check?   I got rid of the Magico's and I agree they where not a great sounding speaker. Their series II are much better.The DMS 500 is ions ago. 2016  The new Cary's sound much better.The T2 i... 
New silversmith fidelium cable
What you hear is what you get. Very little break in time. It’s a great cable 
New Cary DMS 700
Audiotroy,You are no longer a Cary dealer correct?  You are a Lumin dealer though, correct?By meaning plug and play I mean into an existing system SQ wise. Not hardware.Most systems will have to be tuned to fit the Lumin. The Cary will sound good ...

Tough to compare the Lumin T2 to the Cary 700 if the Cary is anything like the DMS 600. You cannot just swap players.  They are so different, to get each of their best you have to match the electronics, speakers and cabling.The Lumin is super deta...

BTW an EtherRegen will get you closer to SQ of local files.

That’s cool. Know you are excited. Rip some of your great files to a SD card   You will be amazed.  
Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2
Like to see a tube pre amp with the Personas. Tames the little bump in the upper mid. Plus a big room really helps. Once dialed though they are a great speaker.  
Speaker cables Mid High end
Another plus one on the Fidelium. Much better sounding cable than any of the Audience 24 series. ( had them all)   Trial and you can’t beat the price. Best bass definition you will find under a grand. Very detailed but in a warmer way which makes ...

Follow the link. Retail 7995. On pre sale 5995. I think it is going to be killer.

Funny had the Lumin T2 next to the Cary 600 and the Cary Killed it. Cary much more robust. Lumin would sound good for a half an hour then hurt your ears.  In the right system though the Lumin is a great sounding player.  You would have to start at... 
New silversmith fidelium cable
I am auditioning the Fidelium in my system. Currently have Cerious Matrix Loom. these cables are more similar than different. Both great cables.  I feel the Matrix have a little more sparkle on top but the bass definition goes to the Fidelium’s Th... 
Paradigm Personas anyone heard them
Just like any team, the pieces  have to fit. When paired properly they are a fantastic speaker. Just have to have a basic understanding of what will work with them as far as electronics , wire and dac ( if digital). I love my 5fs in a 27x17x10 lis...
