HFT High Frequency Transducer
@pinwa Millercarbon wasn't banned.  He left on his own accord.  He started his own website under his name and last I heard was having a blast. @hififuchs I doubt he would have this info from 5 years back but he might.  You can contact him on his ... 
exploring DACs
Stick with Chord.  I just replaced my DAVE with a Lampi tube dac and the DAVE holds it's own against a much more expensive DAC. Jerry  
Buying Used Speakers
@celtic66 I've also enjoyed buying cars that already have their first scratch(es).    
40+ watts SET, cost is not a problem
@charles1dad reminded me of the GM70 so I went to Lampizator site to reread about it and they seem to be focusing on the 211 now (GM70 is Soviet, and I guess the war).  Their 211 SET makes 85 wpc.   Apollo (mentioned earlier) only claims 50 wpc f... 
40+ watts SET, cost is not a problem
Ah yes, the elusive GM70.  
40+ watts SET, cost is not a problem
Apollo Audio systems (google them, audiogon won't allow a link) is reporting excellent results with high power SETs. He is a typical small amp company run by the genius and enthusiasm of a single gifted individual. I have no affiliation with them.... 
People complain about lack of bass, not enough mid range. Solution?
no.  
Aurender is finally Roon Ready?!
@audphile1 I don't think the words around your statement change anything.  I interpret this as your opinion is that Roon is inferior wrt sound quality.  Is that correct?  
Aurender is finally Roon Ready?!
"For casual listening Roon should be awesome."  LOL.      
Aurender is finally Roon Ready?!
Interesting.  My understanding is that Aurender saw Roon as a competitor to their Conductor ap.  I guess they realized they were losing business from guys like me.  I never even considered Aurender.  I have an Innuos and a Grimm.  When I started s... 
blast from the past
Well, we all read this, probably all smiled and thought about it, but nobody replied so I'll say that I enjoyed your story.  --Jerry  
Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews
@erik_squires I appreciate your perspective. I think we share a respect for the data as we pursue the perfect sound. Disappointing that the thread on emotional response to tekton went on and on and your thread on the data behind the drama was imm... 
Buying Used Speakers
You're not the right mental makeup to buy used speakers. Stick with new.  You'll create used speakers for someone else. Jerry  
How do I get a job as a headphone reviewer?
Do it for free and attract a following is how social media works today.    
Small amp or all in 1 choice?
With in-wall speakers sound quality is so limitied I would lower my expectations and go with a simple all in one.  No 5.1 available either.  TV sound without a center will be sub optimal.
