Is Burmester 232 worth the price?
You get what you pay for.  After driving the Benz, would you buy a Lexus?  
Qobuz Connect
Yes, it seems that some days are better than others. Annoying.  I sometimes wonder if the cache for the streamer is too small.  Someone please tell me if the Aurender has this problem as I am looking at the new A1000.  
Abby Road Live Webcam
I actually went there and crossed the street BAREFOOT! IN October '23.  London is a great place to visit.  
Last Critical Tweak… how to quell occasional high harshness…?
Another solution is to add a Stack Audio Smoothlan @ less than $300 [unless tariffs prevail].  It worked out very well for me.  Room treatment also.  
Another request for Streamer Transport options
I must be the only one who didn't have success with the Innuous Pulse.  Unless you count the full refund I received. Too many dropouts and simply would not play most of the time.  Was it the cache size?  I spent more than a few hours with Innuous ... 
Electrical question
Just put in a new circuit with heavy gauge wire, like 20 amp.  And use a hospital grade outlet.  Thank me later.  
??? Which Would You Buy ???
If you are going to upgrade, go big or you will want to upgrade again soon.  That being said, upgrading speakers makes the biggest difference in any system.

Ozzie Ozbourne is Dead
Had to play Ozzy now.  Mr. Crowley was first.  I wore out my 8-track version of Paranoid and Master of reality.  
Your first concert was to see who and when?
Alice Cooper, fall of 1971. I was 18 and it was Killer!  
Validation
Let's have a different perspective here.  If someone asks me over and plays his rig for me I always find something positive to say about at least one thing [or more].  This always brings a smile.  Negative feedback is just that.  They can get that... 
Why so many B & W Speakers on the used market?
@mark200mph, that's funny.  My dad was an avid fly fisherman and Detroit Tiger fan.  We buried him with his Tiger baseball hat on and fishing vest and flyrod.  Lots of smiles over that.  
A Low Cost Pleasant Sounding Used CD Player?
A lot of the CD players will play newer [post 2000] CD's well but not the older ones.  If you are like alot of us here, we have a bunch of old ones we wish would sound better than they do.  One brand that does is Musical Fidelity.  I have two of t...
