@mahgister im not minimizing your points. I think at certain situations a proper room can raise your system levels above where it is at. I agree with you somewhat but there are speakers and pieces that are just built better and sound better

@immatthewj i was blessed to be able to try my amp and Dac combination prior to buying it to replace my old Dac and amp combination. I was able to retain a slight by of warmth that my tubes had with the Infigo amp but gain in dynamic range , sound...

I’m going to get straight to the point. A lot of us are plug in play. We can’t do anything to the room depending on your living and family situations. If you want to spend less you can. You can improve your room using a number og @mahgister sugges...

@jastralfu deep 333 would have you believe all dealers are blood sucking neophytes. That’s just not true. I literally allow the client to try before they buy. That’s why you gotta be careful with some of the posters here. They just go nutty once t...
