WHAT HAPPENED TO SONUS FABER?
@urbie19 always wanted to try sim audio  
What do you say to your audiophile friends who say you just listen to your equipment more
I tell them I’m blessed to have good equipment and the joy of hearing good music playback sound amazing is a personal and relaxing high.  However, 3 years ago my audiophile buddy passed away and the dealer we dealt with died six months earlier tha... 
Melco n1a vs Lumin D1 sound quality
I had the d1 then I got s1. Lumin plays it too safe in the highs for me cuts off the top off 
Melco n1a vs Lumin D1 sound quality
@tecknik how is the melco n1zh compared to the n1a.  Do you have mk2. Is it worth the upgrade.  
REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers
How is it sounding  
REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers
Ricred1 I have a 212se. I like the rel because of nuance. It gives you enough bass but it doesn’t distract from the music. You hear low level bass strings better. The bass melts into the music perfectly for me and it helps the lower midrange a lit...

@ ricred1 that’s why I asked if your amp was class d. I knew that had been an issue.  As you know I’m a huge fan of rel subs. I think they are the best. I hope you can get the connection you need.  
What Sonically is the Difference between a $1,500 CD Player and a $10K-$25K One?

What Sonically is the Difference between a $1,500 CD Player and a $10K-$25K One?
I went from a tube modwright Sony Es 5400 to a Mbl c31. Better soundstage, depth, detail, imaging and transparency. There is a difference if you pick the right 10k player or up!  
Great sounding/recorded albums
The Bright Mississippi by Allen Toussaint is the best recording in my 2000 cd collection 
Any other lone audiophiles here?
My audio buddy died two years ago and it’s been tough.  The dude was audio nuts but man we had some great times in this hobby.  It’s just not the same

Look y’all I heard the solutions 540 after I heard the luxman d06 and the Luxman was no slouch but the soulution player is the best I have heard in my life. I think it’s 35k. It sounds analog, natural, open with big images. Lots of air ,space, tim...

Transparency, depth, detail, image placement, space and dimensionality. The soulution 540 is the best player I have heard to date.  
YOUR AUDIO JOURNEY COMPLETION!
I also have a rel 212se that I use. Best sub I ever hear. Fast and musical
