| Speakers known for great midrange. Is it fair to say Harbeth is not the best choice for an all arounder and perhaps better with classical or slow jazz? I couldn’t lock myself into a one genre style speaker. But I love the looks, the wood, the sound they deliver with certain style... | |
| Best Home Office HiFi Systems Under $10,000 and $20,000.00 I'm a little embarrassed to think about what I have invested in my "office system" since my main source is FM radio and it the volume almost always down pretty low, since I work in my office and that often involves phone calls. I'm guessing about... | |
| Internet Radio on Audiophile Quality 2 Channel System Radio Paradise delivers the good - FLAC quality streaming with no commercials. I generally don't stream any "radio" sources for "critical listening", more for background music, but the sound quality of Radio Paradise certainly holds up for "criti... | |
| Roon Nucleus as a Streamer @navyachts I'm not the previous poster, but I use my Nucleus exactly as you described it. Ethernet connection to the nucleus. My DAC (which is NOT Roon Ready) connects to it via USB allowing me to stream to it using Roon. I have two other syste... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw How did you like the Dan? I'm still waiting on mine. It's scheduled to arrive tomorrow. | |
| New PrimaLuna versus used Audio Research preamp? @samzx12 It looked like the OP was weighing a used ARC vs. new PL. That's great you got most of your investment back when you sold your PL. Typically, you're lucky to get 50-60% of new price on most items. I think Primaluna has a lot going for ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Peter Gabriel - 3 @mammothguy54 I really like that Beth Hart Zep tribute. I have only streamed it, but I thought she knocked it out of the park. | |
| Speakers known for great midrange. I love my Harbeths and also have KEF Ref 1 which have very good midrange and incredible imaging. A friend completely re-did his system recently and has a pair of the Joseph Audio Pulsar2 Graphene speakers with a Pass Int-60. I'm a little jealous... | |
| New PrimaLuna versus used Audio Research preamp? I haven't heard the newest Primaluna gear, but my impression of it over a couple of extended listening sessions that it was more "tubey" and very euphonic. That is what got me interested in tubes actually. Having said that, I own a LS26 and a Vs... | |
| Tube Integrated Under 1,500 A used Primaluna would be a good value. Rogue makes good stuff. I haven't owned any of their integrateds, but had their M180 monoblock amps for a long time. They were rock solid. If it was me, I'd probably try to find something from Line Magne... | |

| Roon Nucleus as a Streamer @navyachts Quality of streamer/DAC combos varies. The Bluesound units are so-so, but a good value for the money. I have a couple of TEAC NT-505 units that I really like. The newest TEAC Streamer/DAC uses different chips, so I'm not sure it's as... |
