| best way to get internet radio Bluesound Node 2i. If your main interest is internet radio, most of it is pretty compressed, so spending more would be wasteful imho. Radio Paradise streams in FLAC, and that will sound good through the Bluesound. | |
| Which amp would you go with If you're open to second hand, consider a Vincent SV 237 (not the MK). I picked one up recently for just a little over $1K and am very happy with it. Other integrateds I've owned include the Peachtree Grand X1, Peachtree Nova 300, Heed Elixir, an... | |
| Buttkicker transducer vs earthquake transducer vs ??? Ouch. If you are looking for a more visceral experience, see if you can find a used HSU MBM-12 (mid-bass module). I only use mine when watching movies. I have it positioned right behind my sofa and it gives you more of that feel of being there. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? I'm still checking out the Qobuz "Hi-Fi" playlists. I particularly like the "Qobuz Wow!" playlist, a great variety of music with a lot of ear candy. | |

| MOBILE FIDELITY ONE STEP VINYL Speaking of mistakes, I inadvertently order two copies of the Yes Fragile one-step release. I received the shipping notification for both at about the same time. They seem to do nothing but go up in price, so I don't mind. | |
