| Marantz 8802a > looking for better two channel If you get a quality stereo amp or monoblocks and a good preamp, there will be a very noticeable difference in sound quality. I went from a Marantz 8801 and Lexicon LX-7 to a Modwright LS-100 and Wyred 4 Sound st-1000 mkii (since replaced by rogue... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @tomic601 I had not heard that story, that's cool. I almost pulled out It's Like This after I listened to RLJ, I love her version of Show Biz Kids. | |

| Does anyone pay the same attention to their car audio? I have had a really nice system in my car before and it sounded great. If you like bass, a car subwoofer can pressurize that small space a lot easier than a large listening room and if it's tuned well it isn't all boom boom boom. I'm sure it's als... | |

| Mytek Liberty Vs. S.M.S.L VMV D1 DAC I have the Liberty DAC and it’s a nice piece. It’s very detailed and neutral. I have no experience with the SMSL DAC. Just a little over your budget, but I would look at the MHDT Labs Orchid. No MQA, no Roon, but it uses R-2R technology and a tube... | |

| What are you streaming tonight? uber, I'm listening on my computer system and have had it at a pretty moderate volume. I just put on the headphones and gave it a little more volume and to my ears it sounds like a very good live recording. It's "Hi-Fi" on Tidal, not MQA. | |
