Lumin vs Auralic
The Lumin is wired Ethernet as well.  My plan was to go wired, so wireless isn't an issue.   Any thoughts on which brand would sound better....as well as which brand would have less warranty issues?  Specifically, I read that the Auralic has a buf... 
Auralic Vega G2 vs Aries G2
nickolaspappas, having owned the Vega G2 for a few months, have you had any issues with the app or any connection issues?  You still happy with your purchase?  I’m considering the same unit, but was a bit concerned that there is really a strong em... 
Lumin vs Auralic
Thanks for the input guys....I know the reviews I've read say the Lumin software is excellent;  I haven't read much about the Lightning DS.  Jond....I think the Auralic Vega G2 is Ethernet hard wire connected...but I'll check again.  Dwolek.....Ho...

This was my first year at RMAF and I'll be back for sure. I had a GREAT time...getting to listen to dream systems that I wouldn't be able to audition anywhere. My favorites were as follows:-The MBL 101's ...stunning sound! I visited this room 3 ti... 
Advice requested on speakers
I know this post is a few years old now, but I was wondering what you decided to go with. I'm looking at upgrading my speakers as well...and almost all the same speakers you were looking at are on my short list. I would appreciate your comments. 
What Audio Show to Attend?
Thank you for your suggestions and advice. I've been doing a bit of research on the shows and many of their websites don't have their exhibitor lists posted yet. I have a list of brands that I would like to audition (based on TAS, Stereophile, etc... 
Which Cables Are of Most Importance?
Another vote for power cords, most important. Speaker cables and interconnects tied for second/third place. 
Has LED caught up to Plasma?
Ptm, yes, I already have a power conditioner, and yes, it does do amazing things for the video quality. There has been a few responses referring to the power usage of plasma screens vs LED...so I was doing a bit of comparison. A 55" LED screen use... 
Has LED caught up to Plasma?
Thanks for everyone's responses. I went to a few retailers the past couple days and did some preliminary shopping. From what I saw, the plasma screens are indeed better than the LED's. I had my heart set on the very thin bezel on the Samsung LED 7...

What time do you wear?
I own a few watches, but the main one worth mentioning is my Baume & Mercier....Love it! It's an automatic, self-winding unit. An automatic watch is to Analog LP like a Quartz watch is to Digital Compact Disc! Interesting Analogy I think! 
Neutral Sounding Silver Cables?
Thanks everyone for your advice. I wish I were able to take advantage of the Cable Company's trial programs; unfortunately, I'm in Canada, and they don't offer it to anyone out of country. I have to admit I'm reluctant to try any silver cables eve...

Albertporter, I didn't even know they sold the Caig Pro Gold in a spray can! I'll have to order a can here from Parts Connection. Question, how often do you clean your connections...and what do you do for cleaning for your xlr cables?
