| Encouraging people to consider a traditional 2 channel stereo system. Agree with what's been said. Most people just don't care. I've had some non audio nuts hear my rig, and while they thought it was cool, they still choose to stream compressed media by Bluetooth to a portable speaker. People just don't care. My wif... | |

| All Hail the meek --yet mighty – NODE 2i I use a Node 2i as well. I really like their interface, as I can use Amazon music as well. I have it powered with a Teddy Pardo LPS and run an outboard DAC (Rega DAC-R). In my system/room it’s more than adequate and I like the sonics I get from th... | |
