| Final Touch Sinope USB? @blisshifi - Thank you for your reply. I read on the forum that AES/EBU is the way to go, but I guess my Innuos ZENith mkiii works exclusively with USB. I appreciate your thoughtful contributions on Audiogon, btw. Always feels authentic and substa... | |

| Benchmark LA4 vs Linear Audio Tube microZOTL Preamplifier (Level 2) @thriftyaudio - Out of curiousity, what are the alternate tubes you’ll roll with the LTA preamp? I’d love to hear your impressions as I’ve only heard the stock NOS tubes it shipped with. | |
| Benchmark LA4 vs Linear Audio Tube microZOTL Preamplifier (Level 2) @thriftyaudio - I own the LTA Microzotl preamp level 2. I think you are going to love it.

| Looking to move to a Tube Integrated setup @jijoh123 @ghdprentice - +1 on the Audio Research integrated amp. Over the last few years I’ve been on a mission to listen to as many amps as I can, often in my home as possible. Over that time, I’ve acquired a Conrad Johnson and an Audio Hungary ... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers for Luxman 590axii? @sunshdw - Thank you for the suggestion. I'll absolutely take a look at them. @jastralfu - Quick question for you. Could you describe the differences between the Falcon's and Fritz speakers? Anything you'd describe as sort of fundamentally diffe... | |
| Seeking speakers under $3K for 10x12 ft room and driven by 20wpc tube amp @echolane - I own a pair of Buchardt S400 MKii speakers and use them in my home office set-up. Really wonderful speakers.

| Ayon Triton Evo Integrated @mfisher702 - Congrats on the new amp! I’ve been very curious about the Ayon family of tube amps. Please do share your observations on the amp once you’ve had some time with it. I am especially curious regarding how you’d compare it to other equi... | |
| Help Deciding On New Speakers For Small Room, $10k budget @cookiecurls - I recommend checking out the Buchardt line of speakers. They are Danish and sell direct to the consumer. I own the Buchardt S400 Mkii and use them in my office which is pretty small. They recommend at least 50 watts to drive them. ... | |

| Six DAC Comparison @mitch2 - Thanks again for your thoughtful reviews. As mentioned earlier in the thread, I found myself looking forward to each installment! While I’m very happy with my Merason Dac1 MKii for the moment, I’m intrigued by the Mojo dacs based on you... | |
| Speakers for Gryphon Diablo 120 @gryphongryph - Correction. I guess it’s the LS59/f model I was intrigued by. They were actually announced 5 years ago. 😁 |
