Best DACs under $7,000.00
I owned a PS Audio Directstream which I was happy with until I bought a Holo Spring DAC for my other system. I love the sound of Holo. I have not heard the May DAC.  
B.S. Node 2i brick (yet another one)
I have already had 4 or 5 flawless years of service on my Node. I guess if it breaks tomorrow I would still think a used $350 item was a pretty great deal. I understand that these items are not forever though.  
Phono Preamplifier Redux .. Damn This is Getting Expensive
I looked at your system and it’s possible that the way it is positioned It is causing noise through the TT. It’s also VERY possible that you like digital more. Some people try to make us feel like we can’t hear if we feel that way but there are vi... 
Your thoughts on selling
@rman9 Stick with whatever format you are enjoying. I have records and cds coming out of my ears. Too much physical product. They convince you that there is a crazy difference and vinyl is superior. Maybe under the most perfect conditions that you... 
Your thoughts on selling
If you are looking for an easy sale just sell them to a record store. They will not give you what they are worth individually but the process will be complete when done.  
Best speakers for a small room
Salk Sound Song 3 really work well in my small room. Excellent speakers and driven with a variety of amps.  
Looking for info on speaker loads?
I had the LRS for a bit. I had a McIntosh 452 amp that had no trouble with other speakers. I felt like the Maggies were just ridiculous with the amount of power required. Great $700 speaker that requires crazy power. Your story doesn’t surprise me.  
The review wehave been promising is up
 I'm not sure why this guy gets so much crap when this site is crawling with industry. i like their input. I stumbled into this guy's room at AXPONA and only today realized it was Audiotroy. He did tell me my streamer would sound 'broken' next to ... 
Atma-Sphere M60 monoblocks + ML ESL 11 = Inferior combo
Why do people keep trying to jam mismatched components together? If you want ML speakers then you need a big brute solid state amp. Why fight it?    
What Speakers are you running with your Gryphon Amp?
It sounds like it's time to enjoy your system but I doubt that is gonna happen. Stop and enjoy it.  
Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp
@atmasphere I read this thread with great interest. This is the first time I've heard what you said. Magazines, manufacturers etc. have not mentioned this. So I change the loading to the 47kohms on my Musical Fidelity NuVista Vinyl stage and lo an... 
Selling gear with TMR
@hilde45 I know they can sell it but if I've safely shipped it to them I can risk shipping it to someone else. They are a great company. I agree,  
Axpona 2022 what impressed you?
Legacy. Way under appreciated. Aeris and the Valor were awesome. The other models are great too.  
Magnepan LRS with JC 1s
Jc 1s are a good match for any speaker.  
Axpona 2022
My best rooms included both Wilson rooms. Legacy is always great. Atohm/Atoll room is fantastic. Mon speakers were fantastic. I can't find them online anywhere. If someone knows where to fin that let me know. Muraudio was fantastic. Martin Logan 1...
